Harry Potter's Birthday

Grab your wands, brooms, and robes! Today is the birthday of Harry Potter, the beloved boy wizard.

In J.K. Rowling’s best-selling book series, we learned that Harry was born on July 31, 1980. Harry first discovered that he was a wizard on his eleventh birthday, when Rubeus Hagrid gave him an acceptance letter to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry along with a giant chocolate birthday cake.
