Question for anyone with a copy of DH handy

[girlyswot]

Both the HP wiki and the HP lexicon think that James Potter was probably going into his second year in the epilogue. I had the impression he was about to enter the third year. Is there any evidence either way? ETA Thanks, everyone. It looks like at the very least there is sufficient doubt about the matter for me to get away with what I wanted.

There's nothing that I know of where JKR has specified that or anything... I think it could probably be argued either way to some extent. My own impression was that he was going in to his second year only because Ginny tells Albus that "we wrote to James three times a week last year", which always seemed to imply to me that the previous year had been James' first year (as it was said in relation to Albus' first year). If it's important to you to make him a third-year, though, I don't think anyone'd squawk tooooo loudly ;-) My 2 Knuts is to just put an A/N somewhere that explains it, if you really want it to go a particular direction.
