There are other specific days mentioned, and they don't really fit either. For example, PS1 takes place on November 1, the day after Harry's parents were killed. This November 1 is a Tuesday, according to the book. But there is no way that November 1 of any year and July 31 ten years later can both be Tuesdays. It's impossible. In 1993, Valentine's Day is on a Sunday, but that's the day that Lockhart sent his dwarves around handing out valentine cards between classes--but on Sunday there are no classes! The most glaring inconsistency comes in book four, though. In that book, both September 1 and September 2 are Mondays. (UPDATE: As of 2004, this was officially corrected for future editions, thus eliminating this discrepancy.)

So how do we make it all make sense? We can't, obviously. There is simply no way to fit every reference to a day of the week, a full moon, the birth year of Nicolas Flamel, or Nearly Headless Nick's 400 year fast with any "real" calendar. And we don't have to. It's a story, and it takes place in a different reality, a different world, a world created by Rowling. What a marvelous, magical world it is. The fact that days and dates slide around a little, not unlike the staircases at Hogwarts, doesn't take anything away from it at all.
