Timelines in which the evidence of one ghost deathday cake outweighs
moon phases, Playstation 2's, dates falling on the wrong day of week,
etc.

IMO, I don't think we can assign strict Muggle dates (e.g.
July 31, *1980*) to events in the HP Universe -- I doubt Jo
meant to make things that set in stone, or else she would have
ironed out the anachronisms and other temporal contradictions.
