    WHAT?

    35?!

    THAT'S CRAZY!

    Harry's birthday is July 31st, 1980.

    Which makes The Boy Who Lived 35.

    He's old enough to be The President of The United States

    You know, if he wanted to ditch the U.K. for this crazy country.

    It's been 24 years since he got his Hogwarts Letter.

    In one year, it will be 19 years since The Battle of Hogwarts

    Thus, also the epilogue of Harry at age 36.

    Also, J.K. Rowling turns 50 on July 31st.

    WHAT?

    She doesn't look a day over 30.

    So HAPPEE BIRTHDAE to our favorite wizard and the amazing woman who brought him to life.

    Party hard, Muggles.
