In 1991, unless I am VERY much mistaken, being a videogame player, 
the playstation 1 was not around. Please correct me if I am wrong, 
but I am 99% sure that the playstation was not released six years 
before the N64, on may 1st 1997.

If i am correct, then when is Harry Potter set, or has this 
argument been cleared up?

Tom replies:
I have heard this previously, although it was so long ago that I 
can't find the post on the message board. Perhaps someone more 
intimately involved in the argument at the time will recall the 
number of the post.

I believe that this was resolved by calling it a FLINT, although 
again, I'm not one-hundred-percent on that.
