If you're in the same space-time continuum as Harry Potter, then you're fictional. "roughly" doesn't count!
Or Herry Potter is real and we Muggels just think he is fictional.
Anyway, the story of Harry Potter is placed in England and in the late 20th century, which definitly is in our space-time continuum
You believe that our space-time continuum has dementors, magic, and dragons??? [That is not a question for the game.]

Anyway, this is a good lesson in why you should avoid cutesy questions, people!
No but the plot of Harry Potter is set in our time-space continuum with fictional elements

In that case, Star Wars can be said to exist in our space-time continuum.

Star Wars is set "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away", but this implies that it's a galaxy far away from the Milky Way, but in the same universe (otherwise there would be no reference point for it to be "far away" from).

You see how silly this gets?

To end this discussion,

the person is either a real person or a fictional character in a real world setting, that allows in theory to answer date of birth or place of death questions in the usual form (I wanted to say like Tom Sawyer but the Main plot is actional set in a fictional town in Missouri)

This is silly. A little while ago there was a question about whether fictional characters are made of molecules, and the overwhelming majority concluded that fictional characters are obviously not made of molecules.

I mean, I've used this before and got a cutesy reply that responded to my question:

Since I considered the space-time continuum as a more general concept than obviously you do, this statement can not support your point of view as it must also necessarily apply to the broader definition.

Why presumably? Don't you know? This answer makes no sense.

I actually didn't know she was- but others might think differently
