10 Years Since the Downfall of Lord Voldemort
10 Years Since the Downfall of Lord Voldemort As revealed in ITV's JK Rowling Documentary which aired back in December, May 2nd, 1998 was the day Harry finally defeated Lord Voldemort within Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

A couple of visitors have asked us to post this wonderful anniversary. And why not? The Battle of Hogwarts within Deathly Hallows was one of the coolest scenes ever created by Jo. It held what we've been waiting to witness since closing Sorcerer's Stone. And who can forget Molly Weasley's infamous line to Bellatrix Lestrange: "NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"?

So here's to Harry and his triumphant win against He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. Leave your thanks to Harry and Jo in the comments, and ask yourself: Do Wizards have a name for this anniversary?

Happy Victory Day!!!!

Happy Day-They-Lived! I can't believe it's been over ten years since HP started!


Posted by DeathlyH May 2nd 2008

Today: Voldy got Pwnd Day, Victorious Hallows Eve, I Hate Ginny Weasley's Guts Day, Dumbledore's Army Day, NO MI HIJA TU PERRA Day (that's spanish for Molly Weasley's line!), BIYATCH ANNIHILATION DAY, The Day The Voldy Died, The Day We Lived, Hero's Day, Harry Potter Day, Victus Day (Love that one!), and WE PWND JOO, KNIGHTS OF WALPURGIS day!


Posted by peroxwhy_gen May 2nd 2008

I'm not celebrating ten years since Remus died. And I disliked the fight scene, really. I think there's better scenes. Not to mention Voldemort dying in such a... short and sad kind of way. But call it Happy Voldemort's-Rotting-in-th e-Dirt-by-his-Muggle-Fath er-Who-You-Know-He-Hates Day!


Posted by muggle_dad May 2nd 2008

Historically, the name given to a holiday does not given credit to the loser of the war. The name should give credit to Harry and everyone that fought in the war. Especially, those who died in this incredible battle. Harry you kept your promise to Mr. Malfoy! Thanks Jo for a great read.


Posted by Yossarian May 2nd 2008

That is the coolest scene in the books. It is the closing that we wanted, and we got it. A massive final showdown between good and evil. A great day.

KNIGHTS OF WALPURGIS GOT PWND DAY


Posted by Susan14 May 2nd 2008

Woo! Happy Voldie Got Pwned Day, everyone! Thank you Harry and Jo!


Posted by DeathlyH May 2nd 2008

My Bat Mitzvah's tommorow, so this is quite a treat. My Bat Mitzvah is ten years and a day after Voldy got Pwnd, Harry became hotter, and Molly said NO MI HIJA TU PERRA in English!

Today is JK Rowling Appreciation and Voldy Got PWND Day! Let's drink butterbeer and sing The Mysterious Ticking Noise on helium!


Posted by DeathlyH May 2nd 2008

dang where is everybody


Posted by MissingHorcrux May 2nd 2008

Thank you so much, Jo. You've given me something I won't forget. I won't ramble on about how the past 10 years of my life have been, but just know that I would've been a much different person if not for the Harry Potter series. muggle_dad is correct, the name of the day shouldn't give credit to the loser (as fun as "Voldie Got PWN'D Day" really is), but instead should credit the triumphant. I'm not a fan of "Victory Day," it's too generic. We as a fandom should have something that, on hearing the phrase, you know it's Harry Potter. I vote for something like "Hogwarts Victory Day," or "Trio Triumph Day."


Posted by oakshaft79pn May 2nd 2008

I say we just call it THE BATTLE OF HOGWARTS. I want to thank harry, life would probably be so much different today had he not triumphed. LONG LIVE THE WIZARDING WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by beetleatbay May 2nd 2008

THE WIZARDING WORLD IS OUR WORLD! HARRY POTTER IS OUR IDOL! I WOULD LIKE TO WISH EVERY WITCH, WIZARD, MUGGLE AND SQUIB A VERY VERY VERY HAPPY ANNIVERSARY. DEATH EATERS, HAPPY DEATHDAY HOPE MR. POTTER IS HAVING AN AWESOME TIME WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS:


Posted by DeathlyH May 2nd 2008

Victus Day or JKR Appreciation Day.


Posted by ssaint92 May 2nd 2008

Congratulations Harry on this wonderful aniversity!! today is also my dads birthday how wierd anyways ; Congrats!!!


Posted by DeathlyH May 2nd 2008

Victus has a magical sound to it. Victus Day is a rather appropriate name.


Posted by xoxoshannonxoxo May 2nd 2008

This day should be officially known as "The day When Voldy Got What Was Coming!!!" LONG LLIVE HARRY POTTER!!!!!! :-)


Posted by Daisy_Potter May 2nd 2008

why not simply Harry Potter Day - as Professor McGonogall suggested waaay back at the start of Philosopher's Stone. As someone already suggested, it would have to be something simple and perfect - JKR-style!
