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?

This.. has truly made my day. and it should be called: The day of the Heros. haha i know its lame. go molly weasley!
Today truly is the greatest day in HP history since Gay Day.
Yay!!! Thank you Jk for creating such a wonderful story, read the first one when i was 11 read the last when i was 18. And thank you harry for pawning Lord Voldemort:) and Neville for Pawning Nagini... and Molly for Pawning Bella....anyway RIP Fred, tonks, lupin, colin, snape, dobby, moody, hedwig, crabbe, bella, and tom riddle... you will not be forgotten. also Happy B-day Victiore! Happy...idk... Ron finally got alittle sumpin sumpin from Hermione day!
Happy "I Hate Ginny Weasley's Guts" Day!
Happy Victory Day!!!!
Happy Day-They-Lived! I can't believe it's been over ten years since HP started!
Here are some good names: the day Dumbledore was outed: GAY DAY. 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!
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!
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.
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
Woo! Happy Voldie Got Pwned Day, everyone! Thank you Harry and Jo!
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!

thankyou jo, for creating HP. you have no idea what it means to me, and how much i;ve learned and grown all these years. thankyou for entertaining me for over 10 years and making me happy.
WOOT WOOT! Best anniversary of the year! to think that so many died leading up to the day that Harry ended it all.
All I can think to say is W00t!
Ah yes!! A beautiful day indeed!!! This day is so great words cannot describe it. It shall henceforth be called "The Day Words Cannot Describe!"
Wow...10 years! An amazing event...this was definetly one of the most AWESOMEest scenes in DH...Long Live HP!
The Day Words Cannot Describe, Victus Day, and Voldy Got Pwn'd Day alll got my votes!
Woohoo!! Jo & Harry are like 2 things which make my life more fun =] Thanks so much for that =] I think it should be called "Hooray for Harry Day" or "Battle of Hogwarts Day" Heehee..XD
10 years since the battle of hogwarts and the fall of You-Know-You. wow, that's amazing. YAY! GO TEAM! lol. still, as much as it is an exciting day today, we can't forget all the people who died, so may you R.I.P. you are not forgotten
JK ROWLING APPRECIATION DAY!
HAPPY VOLDERMORTS DEAD DAY When i read this bit in the book i was like whooooooooooooooooooooooo oo It was amazing, yippe for the end of you know poo lolz
Today is JK Rowling Appreciation and Voldy Got PWND Day! Let's drink butterbeer and sing The Mysterious Ticking Noise on helium!
dang where is everybody
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."
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!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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:
Victus Day or JKR Appreciation Day.
Congratulations Harry on this wonderful aniversity!! today is also my dads birthday how wierd anyways ; Congrats!!!
Victus has a magical sound to it. Victus Day is a rather appropriate name.
This day should be officially known as "The day When Voldy Got What Was Coming!!!" LONG LLIVE HARRY POTTER!!!!!! :-)
wooo!!!!! HP rocks!! i was 10 at the time...if only i'd known how great this series was going to be...took me 2 years to finally pick it up and i've been hooked ever since... thnx for creating such a great escape from reality, JKR!!! wooo!!!!!
Happy Voldy's Gone Moldy Day!!!
Happy Voldy got pwned day or VH Day. Lets all remember the characters we loved so much who died and thank Harry and JO!
Wooo-Hoooo! I think today should be called Moldy-Voldy Day! LOL. Happy Moldy-Voldy Day to everyone in the wizarding world!
THANK YOU SO MUCH HARRY AND JO! I LOVE YOU BOTH WITH ALL MY HEART!
Uh, guys? Just an FYI - "Victus" is Latin for "food."
Thank you Jo! The second of May will neverr be the same. HAPPY VOLDIE-HAS-BEEN-LE PWNED day every one. ^^ R.I.P. all those who set down their lives for the good of the wizarding world.

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!
I work up this morning, and this was all i could think about. Yesterday i cryed because i knew Snape was dead.... :(
WOO ! I was 8 (almost 9) at the time. LONG LIVE HARRY POTTER, RON WEASLEY, HERMIONE GRANGER, ALL WHO HELPED AND OF COURSE JO. Thank you for what you did Jo. It changes my life. Let's celebrate this glourious day !!!!
