Yes. Well, I think HP is a different animal since it is intended to be culturally elsewhen, and the anchors to muggle timelines are pretty sparse. But there is something charming and old-fashioned about books without perfect internal chronology, where things change with a three year publishing gap when the books are only a few months apart internally. Reminds me of episodic TV shows where you get a soft reset every week, before everything had to have an arc.
