>>GAAAAHHHH! Where does everyone get that? Someone PLEASE tell me 
where Sept. 1 is always a Sunday!<<

HunterGreen:
"The train always leaves for Hogwarts on September first, the next day 
is always Monday, the first day of school. Therefore, September first 
is always a Sunday (I've always taken it as artistic license, 
combined with the fact that (IMO) she's not writing each story under 
a certain year, so making September 2nd always a Monday is easier 
than keeping the date vague)."


DuffyPoo:
Except for GoF where both Sept 1 and Sept 2 are Mondays.

"'It's been absolute uproar,' Percy told them importantly, the Sunday evening before they were due to return to Hogwarts."
-the next day, Sept 1 then, they get the train to Hogwarts and learn about the Triwizard Tournament at the feast, then:
"The storm had blown itself out by the following morning....Harry, Ron and Hermione examined their new timetables at breakfast....'Today's not bad .. outside all morning, ' said Ron, who was running his finger down the Monday column of his timetable."

I read GoF at least a dozen times before I had this pointed out to me, I just don't pay that much attention to what day of the week it is.  I don't like Mondays myself; I wouldn't want two in the same week, never mind following each other. ;-)
