Congratulations. You are now a native of the Harry Potter universe and bound to its laws. Are you a Muggle, Squib or Witch? Did you live during the Founding of Hogwarts? Were you serving as a Healer during, what the Muggles call, World War II?Eras
1. Founders Era"You all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago - the precise date is uncertain - by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. They built this castle together, far from prying Muggle eyes, for it was an age when magic was feared by common people, and witches and wizards suffered much persecution."
2. The Renaissance/Late Medieval/Tudor Period"Though hotly denied by subsequent generations, there is ample evidence to suggest that the first Lucius Malfoy was an unsuccessful aspirant to the hand of Elizabeth I, and some wizarding historians allege that the Queen's subsequent opposition to marriage was due to a jinx placed upon her by the thwarted Malfoy."
3. Late 17th Century4. The Regency PeriodThe Regency Era in the United Kingdom is the period between 1811 and 1820. It also sometimes refers to a more extended time frame than the decade of the formal Regency. The period between 1795 and 1837.
5. Victorian EraThe Victorian Period ran from 1837 until Queen Victoria's death in 1901.
6. 1920sThe age of wizarding jazz? Also, Newt Scamander was commission to write the first-edition of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. "Scamander traveled to a hundred countries across five continents researching his book, observing many magical creatures." It was published in 1927.
7. WWIIIn 1945, Gellert Grindelwald is defeated but what happened before that?
8. The First Wizarding War/The Marauder Era"Every week, news comes of more deaths, more disappearances, more torturing… The Ministry of Magic's in disarray, they don't know what to do, they're trying to keep everything hidden from the Muggles, but meanwhile, Muggles are dying too. Terror everywhere… panic… confusion…"
9. The Second Wizarding War/The Golden Trio Era"Even my parents, they're Muggles, know something's going on."
10. The Next Generation"In the years following the Second Wizarding War, the Ministry of Magic was massively reformed in order to put an end to prejudice based on blood status and to better combat Dark Wizards in the future.[59] In addition to the reforms of Minister Shacklebolt, Harry Potter revolutionized the Auror Office and Hermione Granger advanced the rights of magical creatures and eradicated the old pro-pure-blood laws from high up in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement."
