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?

It's funny that this anniversary is on May 2nd, because today is also Holocaust Remembrance Day, at least in the states. Coincidence?


Posted by Kimmy May 2nd 2008

Posted by DeathlyH May 2nd 2008

The End of the Wizarding World Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Best line in all of HP-dom. even though i'm not a big fan of cusswords. YAY FOR JO!!! AND YAY FOR HARRY! AND HAHAHAHAHAHA FOR VOLDY!! hehe-i would probably name it The Day of the Vanquishing of Evil, Especially Horcruxes, Soul-Sucking, and Voldemort, the Evilest Villain Ever to Exist (In A Book)! Or maybe The Love Day. Because love is what triumphed!!! yay!

Posted by hermionescholar1 May 2nd 2008

Hooray! It's Harry Potter Day! (Just like Prof. McGonagall said in book 1!)


Posted by levans May 2nd 2008

It's called Voldemort Fails at Life/Potter Owns All day. Happy VFL/POA day!!! =3


Posted by Esodes08 May 2nd 2008

Long live Harry Potter and the Battle of Hogwarts! ... If the day isn't known as the "Anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts," I think it should be Victory Day. The UK doesn't have one of those yet as far as I know... Or maybe Laureola Day (or Laurus)? That's Victory in Latin and it would make sense because the wizarding community has a strong affinity with Latin. I'm going to go with that for now... maybe Jo will give us an official title for it? Until then, Happy Laureola Day!


Posted by iheartharry0989 May 2nd 2008

Do you remember where you were on May 2nd 1998? i do...i was in DISNEYWORLD!!!!!it really was a magical day....


Posted by BlacksFell May 2nd 2008

woohoo! well done harry!!!!


Posted by love_u_harry May 2nd 2008

wow, 10 years...happy anniversary everyone! Thank you SO much Harry! And of course Jo...words cant express...thank you.


Posted by voldivoice May 2nd 2008

Hoorah for the Harry's momentous defeat of Voldemort, maybe it should be called something like World War II's VE Day except it would be called VD Day (Voldemort's Dead Day), We're still waiting for the Encyclopaedia, It'll probably be in there, although the wizarding world didn't end up naming 31st Oct 'Harry Potter Day' like Mcgonagall suggested they would, (Philosophers stone) so maybe this wont have a name either, happily awaiting encyclopaedia!


Posted by cherubicterror May 2nd 2008

10 years..... wow. this also marks the 10 year anniversary of the death of fred, lupin, and tonks. :( but hats off to harry!


Posted by nitrogen May 2nd 2008

Sweet! 10 years since Voldy The Moldy's downfall! GO Harry Potter! But to bad Fred died :( now the joke shop wont be as exciting...


Posted by Spenciman May 2nd 2008

Wow! Thats so awesome! Long Live Potter! I like downfall day for the name


Posted by SvenMarcel May 2nd 2008

To quote Minerva McGonagall from Sorcerer's Stone..."I wouldn't be surprised if this day wasn't known as Harry Potter day in the future." So I think the fact that not only has he managed to escape from He Who Must Not Be Named five times and totally destroyed him finally the fifth time, I think the Wizarding World will probably declare it Harry Potter Day!


Posted by LilyLuna May 2nd 2008

heh.. voldie got PWN'd day.. that is a sweet day


Posted by swim_elf May 2nd 2008

To Harry Potter! A friend we will never forget.


Posted by rooon May 2nd 2008

Yaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )


Posted by member_of_SPEW May 2nd 2008

lol remi! And as long as we're discussing anniversaries, don't forget Epilogue Day! September 1, 2017 is the only chance we have to celebrate what happens in the books when they actually occur! (This was my own idea.) Party at Kings Cross! XD


Posted by Allymarieus May 2nd 2008

Such a momentous occasion--this should become an actual, observed, off-from-school-and-work holiday for the entire world. It could be a day to celebrate triumph over evil, and the power of the written word, and of love. Happy Day to all.


Posted by AnyaMarcos May 2nd 2008

I think "Day of Light" sounds nice. To honor not only Harry, but everyone who sacrified their lives so that good, or Light, could win.


Posted by malteselover May 2nd 2008

Wow, ten years. Voldy's gone moldy, that's for sure. But anyway, thank you Jo so much for creating a final battle that was, in short, amazing. I loved seeing all the characters one more time, and the use of the ol' Expelliarmus charm. Anyway, Happy Voldy got pwned day!


Posted by LindaW May 2nd 2008

I love that we get to celebrate this. Thank you to all who died, and to all who lived. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and everyone else: we love you!!!


Posted by mrsronfredgeorgeweasley May 2nd 2008

that is the best day ever! (and worst) Harry killed Voldemort, but FRED DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! I'M STILL IN SHOCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! RON AND HERMIONE GOT TOGETHER!!!! YAY!!!! (MY FAV PART OF THE SERIES!) fred died 10 years ago, but this is the first time we knew about because the book wasn't out on this day last year. And today it has been gloomy and rainy, because fred's gone. conisence, eh? and the blinds went up by themselves in class. i like to think it was fred, playing a prank. lol. FRED AND GEORGE ARE MY FAVORITE CHARACTERS!!!!! RON AND HERMIONE 4EVA. maybe the day should be called VOLDY MOLDY DAY, or WEASLEY DAY ( for fred for risking his life, mrs. weasley (for her faithful words, and ron, of course, for always being there and helping harry. and all the other weasleys. R.I.P. FRED!!!!!!!!!! :( and luipn, tonks, snape, and colin.

Posted by luna29 May 2nd 2008

Thank you, thank you, thank you Ms. Rowling for sharing the gift of Harry and his world with us all! Just today I heard my 4 year old daughter running around the house saying to her brother "Hurry! Run! We're going to miss the train to Hogwarts!" Your work and your world will live on through a new generation of kids who are just discovering the Boy Who Lived. Thanks again!


Posted by dracos_star May 2nd 2008

Thank you J.K! We all love you! And to our one and only Harry James Potter, who has saved the day! Long live Harry Potter!
