I totally forgot the movies were supposed to be happening in 1997. In all honesty, I don't know if they meant to set in at that time, because Hermione is wearing skinny jeans and ballerina flats, which were pretty much unheard of back then.

Good point. Plus, that means the first movie should have taken place in 1991, and nobody had early 90s hair styles, so that doesn't work. I'm not even sure we knew the books were supposed to start in the early 90s until after the movies were being made. I always found it strange that JKR never mentioned it in the books. Then again, she also never mentions that they take place in the Scottish highlands, but if you do the geographical analysis it's apparently pretty obvious.
