Bill isn't on the timeline because there is no evidence whatsoever to
go on which would allow me to place him there. Charlie, yes, since I
subscribe to the notion that his last year was the last year
Gryffindor won the Q-Cup and therefore the House Cup. It's the
simplest explanation. I know, I know, that point can be argued ad
infinitum, but that's what I went with. By the same token, none of
the Snape/James/Lupin crowd was on the timeline either until earlier
this year when JKR revealed Snapes age. If she'd just do that now
with Bill and Charlie (and tell us which year Hermione was born in
too, while she's at it) we'd be all set.
I am working on a letter to JKR. I need to ask her the status of the
new trading cards (how much input did she give and should those
spells and facts be considered canon). Anyone want to suggest any
other good questions to ask? No, I won't ask about the gleam or who
falls in love with who or any of those kinds of things. But factual
details that don't give anything away, sure. So what shall I ask her?
BTW, according to the trading cards, Flitwick's first name is Filius.
So do I put that in the Lexicon? I'm unsure...
