Beloit College: Potter Chronology FAIL!

Apparently, Beloit College makes a list every year called the Annual Freshmen Mindset List. It's a list of social/cultural things that define, in one way or another, the incoming class based on the world as it has been since they were born. The "Mindset List" for the class of 2012 begins:
1. Harry Potter could be a classmate, playing on their Quidditch team.
Let's hear it. First, the SQUEE of the initial "Ooh, they mentioned Harry Potter!", then the silence as we realize their chronology is off by a decade. Then, the long groan of fandomers who just want to inform these people of their grievous error, and then the collective sigh as we decide it's just not worth it.
Well, I was feeling rambunctious, so...
I feel strangely accomplished.
:D
