Bonfirenight

Hi all,

here's something that's been bugging me for some time. In SS, right
in the beginning, the newscaster says that fireworks were seen all
over England and that bonfirenight was not until next week.
(Something to that effect anyway)

To me, bonfirenight is June 21 -- I'm neither British nor
American -- yet the day of the attack on Harry's Parents is given as
Halloween.

I was wondering if there was a different bonfirenight in England. I
faintly remember reading something in a book by Enid Blyton, about
Guy Fawkes (sp?) and Nov. 5th. Would that be it?

Please refresh my memory.
