Happy birthday, Harry Potter! The Chosen One turns 38 today<\/h3>\n
\n

JK Rowling’s iconic character – who shares her birthday – was born into the wizarding world on 31st July 1980<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s 31st July and any Harry Potter fan worth their weight in gold galleons will know what that means \u2013 it\u2019s the Boy Who Lived\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n

JK Rowling gave her famous character her own birthday: Rowling turns 53 and Harry hits 38.<\/p>\n

Now, 2018 is even more special given that it\u2019s been 21 years since the first Harry Potter book was published, but that doesn\u2019t mean we can\u2019t also celebrate Harry and Rowling\u2019s birthdays too does it?<\/p>\n

Hold on, Harry Potter can\u2019t be in his mid-thirties, can he?<\/h3>\n

He can indeed. Harry James Potter was born to James and Lily Potter on Thursday 31st July 1980. No, there\u2019s no mention of the exact year in the book, but thanks to Nearly Headless Nick\u2019s Death Day, fans were able to work it out.<\/p>\n

In Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets, the trio are celebrating Nearly Headless Nick\u2019s 500th Deathday \u2013 the anniversary of the fateful day when his head was nearly chopped off \u2013 on 31st October. Nick says he was almost decapitated in 1492, so if we count forward 500 years it means Harry was 12 years old in October 1992.<\/p>\n
