One of my favorite series is the Young Wizardy series, which was only a trilogy, and written in the 1980s. Nina's favorite band was Reo Speedwagon, and her sisters wizard's manual was on an Apple.
Then the books started to appear on the "If you Like HP" lists, and she is now up to book 8 in the series. Poof! The characters are the same ages, but they have morhped 10-20 years in the future. Reo Speedwagon is no longer mentioned, and the Apple morphed into a laptop, pretty much on its own free will.
That said, I still manage to sell this series like crazy, with only a few words of warning about the time period in the first three books.
