Happy Birthday Harry Potter!

It’s July 31st! You know what that means… It’s Harry Potter’s birthday! So raise a goblet of pumpkin juice to our favorite boy wizard on the anniversary of the day he was born, and the day he crawled out from the cupboard under the stairs and into our hearts.

Also celebrating a birthday today is the ever-underrated Neville Longbottom!

And of course, how could we forget the master herself, J.K. Rowling! She and Harry share the same birthday, so happy birthday to the brilliant woman who was essentially responsible for my childhood!

To celebrate, I’m eating cake and wearing one of my many Harry Potter t-shirts. What are you doing to commemorate this most wonderful of birthdays? Let us know in the comments section, or tweet us @PopCultureNexus!
