happy birthday, dear Harry

Today is Harry Potter's birthday. He is, I believe, 28.

Happy Birthday, Harry Potter.

I'm not one of those who never picked up a book until I met you (far from it, actually) but you have made my summer reading more pleasurable for being there.

Thanks.


{Here's a trippy little side note: In the Epilogue of The Deathly Hallows, we get a glimpse of Harry's future 19 years after he defeats Voldemort. Nineteen plus seventeen means he's 36 years old; so as of today, he hasn't yet lived that little snippet of his life.}
