[HPforGrownups] Sunday, Sept. 1st

[Marita Jan]

No: HPFGUIDX 109461

I believe that in every book, the letters they get from Hogwarts mention
catching the train on September 1.  I don't remember it giving the day of
the week, just the date.   

Funny, though, I never caught the next day/first day of classes always
being Monday, though. Which, of course, is impossible.  

The discrepency doesn't really bother me.  I've always thought that to
really enjoy a book, you had to suspend reality for a bit, that what's
true in my world might not be true in the world the author is creating. 
So, if JKR wants September 2 to be Monday every year, then it's Monday
every year to me.
