Just a tidbit of information for all you nitpickers out there: Hagrid 
was actually in Azkaban from May 8 through 3 am, May 31, 1993. That's 
about three weeks, nothing close to the two months Harry imagines it 
to be. But those were some pretty nasty weeks for Harry and Co., so 
it probably FELT like two months to him. We all know how Harry gets 
his facts wrong a lot (like, oh let me see, the number of Slytherin 
supporters in the stands, or the number of tables at the Yule Ball.)
