MuggleNet wishes a Happy Birthday to Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling

by Keith Hawk · July 31, 2011

July 31 marks not only the first day of Pottermore’s beta test openings, but two very significant birthdays in the fandom.

Harry Potter, the Master of Death, turns 31 years old today and will be celebrating with his wife, Ginny, and 3 children: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna.

Meanwhile, the Master of Storytelling herself, J.K. Rowling, will be celebrating her birthday with husband Neil Murray, and her 3 children: Jessica, David, and Mackenzie.

From all of us at MuggleNet, we wish both of you a very Happy Birthday!

Potter Quote

“Well – it’s just that you seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to – what is the phrase? – come quietly. I am afraid I am not going to come quietly at all, Cornelius. I have absolutely no intention of being sent to Azkaban. I could break out, of course – but what a waste of time, and frankly, I can think of a whole host of things I would rather be doing.”
