Dresden Files: Series Timeline
Sydna:
It is a known mistake.
--- Quote from: Behemoth on June 08, 2012, 07:36:34 PM ---I just made this account to ask whether it's a mistake in just my books or in all the books, because I remember when I read it recently, in book 4 (Summer Night) McCoy called the Merlin Alfred, but in every book after that it says his name is Arthur. And then I noticed in this timeline he was also referred to as Alfred, so my question is what's his name, and whether anyone else noticed this or if it's just my version of the books? (Bear in mind that they're in e-book format)

Priscellie:
Yup. I should probably use Arthur in the timeline, as that's the more common usage. Thanks for pointing it out!
Mr. Death:
Minor quibble:

I think it's mostly just middle and high schools that graduate in June. Most every college graduation I've seen has been held in May at the latest. Or does the University of Chicago usually have it later?

U Chicago's on the quarter system, and as far as I can tell, most quarter system schools have their graduations in June.

So probably June is a good estimate :)
Quantus:
I have a new one for the timeline: Victor Sells discovered Magic somewhere around 6 years BSF. His wife had no idea where or how. Given what we learned in Changes this may become important.
The math is a little fuzzy. He discovered it when his son was 4. Sells daughter (Jenny) was "on the gawky end of preadolescence" which I place as 10-12 Years old (ish), and their son (Billy) was "perhaps a year or two younger than his sister". If we say that translates to 10 years old during Storm Front, that would place Victor getting introduced to magic around 6 BSF.
Which means it happened right about the time harry left the Ozarks and would have been back in play, so to speak... But Im sure that has nothing to do with anything ;)
From Storm Front
--- Quote ---"It was when Billy was about four that Victor found the magic. I don't know where. But he started getting obsessed with it. He brought home books and books. Strange things. He put a lock on the door to the attic, and after dinner he'd vanish up there. Some nights, he wouldn't come to bed. Some nights, I thought I could hear things, up there. Voices. Or things that weren't voices." She shuddered.

--- Quote ---A girl, on the gawky end of preadolescence, with hair the color of her mother's, leaned out into the hallway. "Mom?" she said in a quavering voice. "Mom, are you okay? Do you want me to call the police?" A boy, perhaps a year or two younger than his sister, poked his head out, too.
