woohoo.. hooray for the victory at the battle of hogwarts!! may 2 1998,, woo.. 10 years!! 1st

Yay! Thank you JKR and Harry, even though imaginary (though very real in my heart) for making the Wizarding World the wonderful place it is! :) And I am not sure what this holiday would be named. I would imagine similar names to the endings of WWI or WWII (there are so many other WWII parallels) :)

Ten years.... wow :) LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER!! THE ONLY WIZARD EVER TO SURVIVE THE KILLING CURSE.... TWICE!!! TAKE THAT!! :) Thank you, J.k. Rowling.... thank you.

Ten whole years! I was five at the time. If only I knew then what that day was...

This day shall be called "Voldie Got PWN'd day!!!" The End ^_^

Aww my beloved Tommykins is dead *cries*

yay! Victory at the Battle of Hogwarts can be a goodname lia_joyce. It's like the battle of vimy ridge or something (i'm canadian btw) To harry and Jo!!!

V-V Day? No, wait. That would be V-Y-K-W day. Probably something like Potter Day, or Hogwarts Day. It could be something Rowlingly simple, like End Day.

Wow.... occasion to celebrate! I'll bring out the wine.

So Voldie's downfall day so happens to be my birthday...MMMMM....Well Happy Birthday to me and Happy Downfall day to everyone!

that is so cool! im so having a party of something tonight to celebrate :)

I completely forgot about this ad May 2is almost over here :(

My friend and I are having a party tomorrow! Yay Harry, we love you! And also, I'm definitely loving "Voldie Got PWN'D Day!"

Woooo! Yay! Thank you Harry and Jo!! I'm so having a party tonight! ^^

wow that ten years felt like less than 10 months.... hmm wonder why

LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER! ::raises glass:: Wow 10 years! I agree with aliceinstitches, it does feel less than ten months....it's so strange. ;)

Haha, I love "Voldie Got PWNED day". Yay for Harry!!! I will celebrate by changing my status on facebook/myspace to "Happy Voldie Got PWNED day!" ;]

I'm sure they have a name for it. Or if they don't, I'm sure that all wizards know why May 2 is important, like September 11 or the 4th of July for Americans. Ten years later, I still miss Fred. :-(

Oh, I've been mentioning this to everyone I see today! They all laugh at me. I'll have to show them this! Thanks, Jo and Harry, for an awesome battle scene, amazing lines like 'NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU girl!' and 'I'll join you when hell freezes over. Dumbledore's Army!'; as well as just the brilliance of finishing off such a successful series in such a wonderfully inventive and can't-put-down manner.

I remembe the day's, the months, counting up to the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was my last day of primary school, and we did a play. 3 times i had to do it, though me, a group of friends and a teacher were all excited, as at midnight that night, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows would be released. I just remember going at midnight (as it was my first and last chance!) to get the book, then just reading and reading all night. If i remember correctly, there were 3 "swear references" in the book. Firstly, ron called someone a "Bastard", secondly Aberforth also called someone or some people "Bastard" which was in the Hog's Head, and last but not least, the famous "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU girl!" so, happy Voldie got pwned day!!!

3 cheers for Harry Potter!! Hip hip, hooray!! Hip hip, hooray!! Hip hip, hooray!! May 2nd is a wonderful day, but a sad one. RIP Fred, Tonks, Remus, and everyone else who died fighting! I am sure that there is a name for it, and it possibly could be "The Day of the Chosen One" or something like that that would embarrass poor Harry for the rest of his life.

PHILOSOPHER'S Stone, darn! Anyways, Voldy Got Pwned Day sounds good, haha. He got pwned by his own freaking curse... Oh voldy. Wow, ten years. Harry would be like, 27. That's nuts.

10 years? Back then, I was about ten years old. Anyway, I think this is the British Wizarding World's Independence Day. That would make sense. The day they got their independence from Voldy, 'cause he did take over, didn't he?

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hmm...I can't really think of a name either. I was only 8 (but almost 9)!! How about something like...Molly Weasley Day? Just because of her famous quote! Molly Weasley needs to have a day.

wow great accomplishemnt for all wizards its something that should be celebrated to commemorate this great day naturally it should be caled The day harry demolished lord voldemort like no wizard has done before to save all of human kind again his wrath killing the innocent potter day! no really thank again jo and good job harry woot woot

VH DAY Victory In Hogwarts ;P

YAY! this is a great day! It gives me hope to kick butt with my choir at our state competition today! THANKS HARRY AND JO!!! bye bye voldie...

I declare it be called HE-WHO-MUST'VE-BEEN-PWNED -DAY! Thank you Jo! and thank you Harry! You have avenged my favorite characters!

and it's Victoire's birthday too, how old did Bill's first daughter get; 8 or 9? weird that Beltaine or Mayday never is presented a holiday in the Wizarding world like Halloween is, both have strong associations with witchcraft.

first 50? anyway, I wonder if this defeat is greater than Grindelwald's though. Is Voldemort the last greatest dark wizard ever? Anyway, hooray for the defeat of Tom Riddle!

Ahh, "The Battle of Hogwarts"... I do remember sitting on my couch at home, on a cold evening on the 21st of July, 2007... and coming across this chapter... and I had waited SOO long to read it! Well, congratulations Harry. BUT WE WILL REMEMBER DOBBY! DO NOT FORGET DOBBY!

OMG! I suggested this as a news item!!! WOOOOT!!!!! I've already had some commemorative services. Since Fred dies on page 512, I got up at 5:12 this morning and had a few minutes of silence and memoriam for him. I also did this for all the other characters who died in the Battle of Hogwarts (well, the good ones anyway). Now I'm really tired. :( RIP everyone who died....we love you....

He couldn't know that at this very moment, people were meeting in secret all over the country were holding up their glasses and saying in hushed voices: "To Harry Potter - the boy who lived!"

To all those who died in the battle of Hogwarts, thank you for giving your lives to make our reading experience that much more exciting.

JK Rowling's books are incredible! I thought that Harry was going to use the AvadaKedavra spell but he didn't! It was incredible! I'm a big Harry Potter fan! And I'm a bit sad because Harry's story was ended but in my heart... His life continues...

President Potter's day! NAH

Harry, Harry, Harry! He is forever my hero and forever in my heart. Those who lost their lives in the final battle are NEVER forgotten. Harry Potter Day! Harry Potter- the boy who lived!

Thank you, Jo and Harry! It certainly is the beginning of the Wizard Renaissance, isn't it?

I've changed my Facebook status to 'Happy Voldie-Got-PWN'D-Day!' Long live Harry Potter! The books, the movies, the person, the phenomenon. You have changed my life forever.

This is ama-za-zing! Happy Anniversary everybody! I'm SURE they have a name for this day.. I can't really think of what though. Jeez.. thanks so much, Jo! Without you, this site would have no purpose...and neither would my life. ;)

Argh! It wasn't even a year for us! This is such a memorable day... hundreds of people died fighting for the future and benefit of wizardkind.. and yet this is the day Harry triumphed over Lord Voldemort the day the Wizarding World was brought out from darkness and the Dark Lord's wrath. And the day Fred died... and Tonks... and Remus... and Snape... and those 50+ unnamed, brave souls who fought so hard for Voldemort's demise...They all shared the same deathday; yet this day marked the beginning of a new era with the defeat of Voldemort. Ok, 'Voldie Got PWNed Day' sounds fun, but in all seriousness guys, we should REALLY get a proper name for this... it may not be the official name but at least its a fitting way to refer to this special day... I have absolutely no idea what it should be though... Let's do this for Harry Potter, for Ron Weasley, for Hermione Granger, for Dumbledore, for Sirius, for Snape, for Remus, for Tonks, for Mad-Eye.. for everyone. Let's make a good name for it; a name that we'll remember this miraculous day by; a name fitting for the day Voldemort died and Harry triumphed; and a name for the day when true happiness flourished in the Wizarding World at last.

We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter's the One, And Voldy's gone mouldy, so now let's have fun!

I would name it the "Harry Potter Day", although I

LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER.................RI P Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Colin and the hundreds of others who died on this immortal day.

@Shubidubidu- that name is already taken. I agree with PottyforPotter Voldy got PWNed is fun but we need something serious which we can then make canon(though its a really good name)

Well.... Happy St. Potter day!

i agree with andrew...it is one of the coolest scened...i cry everythime i read it....thank u jo for giving me a world in which i could go n forget my worries....thank u for making hogwarts n the whole wizarding world of harry potter in which i al my anxieties go away n in which all my tensions take a hike....thank for the peace of mind i achieve when i read harry potter...thank u n JAZAKALLAH

Haha, nice, happy The End of the Dark Lord Day to all of you!!! Btw, today also happens to be one week since I got together with my boyfriend, so it's a double party for me! :P
