Okay I'll tell you this...the books timeline is set in the 1990s. * Philosopher's Stone is set in the years 1991 to 1992. * Chamber of Secrets is set in the years 1992 to 1993. * Prisoner of Azkaban is set in the years 1993 to 1994. * Goblet of Fire is set in the years 1994 to 1995. * Order of the Phoenix in the years 1995 to 1996. * Half Blood Prince in the years 1996 to 1997. * Deathly Hallows in the years 1997 to 1998. Harry was born on 31 July 1980. Ron was born on 1 March 1980. Hermione was born on 19 September 1979. From here we can deduce the ages of the characters by applying their date of birth to the timeline of each novel. Hermione is six months older than Ron and ten months older than Harry. To simplify it even further: * Book 1: Harry (11), Ron (11), Hermione (12) * Book 2: Harry (12), Ron (12), Hermione (13) * Book 3: Harry (13), Ron (13), Hermione (14) * Book 4: Harry (14), Ron (14), Hermione (15) * Book 5: Harry (15), Ron (15), Hermione (16) * Book 6: Harry (16), Ron (16), Hermione (17) * Book 7: Harry (17), Ron (17), Hermione (18) The reason why Hermione is considerably older than Harry and Ron is because she was aged 10 in the year 1990 but nearly 11 as she would turn that age in September of 1990. However, Hogwarts rules state that you must be 11 years old before 31 August you attend your first year at Hogwarts. Hermione had to wait until the year 1991 to attend Hogwarts alongside Harry and Ron when she was 11 going on 12.
