A brief listing of all of the relevant dates and events mentioned in the books up through Deathly Hallows. Some information also comes from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them and Quidditch Through the Ages, but this information is struck through and/or noted as some may not consider it strictly canon since it doesn't come from the narrative books. Each row represents a different day. Day of the week is given (if known), and any assumptions made are noted. Be aware that the timelines in the books are not necessarily consistent with actual calendar dates (particularly moon cycles).
Everything here comes from the American (Scholastic) versions of the books. The abbreviations should be obvious, but just in case: SS (Sorcerer's Stone, aka Philosopher's Stone), CoS (Chamber of Secrets), PoA (Prisoner of Azkaban), GoF (Goblet of Fire), OotP (Order of the Phoenix), HBP (Half-Blood Prince), DH (Deathly Hallows), FB (Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them), QTtA (Quidditch Through the Ages), DVD (comes from DVD timeline). The DVD listings help pin down some exact dates, but beware of discrepancies.

Hagrid sent to Azkaban [CoS-14] for two months [PoA-3]. The PoA and GoF DVDs put Hagrid's incarceration on May 8, which would mean Hagrid spent less than one month in Azkaban.
