Potioncat:
So, do you think all 4 chapters are the same night? Or do you think 1&2 
are one night with 3&4 a week later? I don't think JKR is bamboozling 
anything, I just don't think it's clear and I think both are possible. 
For them to be the same night, she actually does a bit of time turning, 
that is, chapter 3 would start not at the end of chapter 2, but at the 
same time as chapter 1....I think. I don't have a strong opinion on 
which is more likely.
