July 31st is a crucial day in the Harry Potter fandom. Today is Harry's birthday, and if you go by the canon of the books, that means he's turning 43 today! Harry's birthday has a lot of significance in the series because his 11th birthday is the first day he's properly introduced to the wizarding world via Hagrid's bombastic entrance. Harry's birthday is usually not the happiest day because he's stuck with the Dursleys. Even his 17th birthday is marked by the death of Hagrid and Mad-Eye Moony. Hopefully, today won't turn out too bad for Harry, wherever he is.
On this day, I'd like to share an amusing anecdote about the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which explores some of Harry's life as an adult and a father. Canonically, the main plot of the story where Harry and Draco's sons Albus and Scorpius get involved in time travel takes place over the 2020-2021 school year, and I find that extremely funny. Not only did they go back in time to make sure Cedric Diggory didn't die, but they also probably gave wizards in 1995 a dangerous muggle disease. If that anecdote is of little interest and you just want to get on with the memes, these Harry Potter memes are ready for you.
