India Today
In the flurry of wishes on Twitter, netizens refreshed their memories and shared their experiences of reading Harry Potter books for the first time and instantly falling in love with the characters. Many couldn’t stop thanking JK Rowling, the author of the series, for making their childhood merrier.
“Y’er a wizard Harry!”- who can forget Hagrid’s iconic line when a 11-year-old skinny boy came to discover that he belonged to a magical world. One will find very few 90s kids who didn’t read the Harry Potter series novels while growing up. Because the character of Harry Potter was not just fiction, it became alive woven with the delightful world of witchcraft and wizardry. July 31 has always been a special day for all the Potterheads because on this date The Boy Who Lived was born to Lily and James Potter. And of course, tweeple didn’t disappoint and flooded the micro-blogging site with wishes for the boy wizard.
Born in the year 1980, on this date, Harry was totally unaware that he had the special gift of magic. He was 11 years old when he came to know of the fact. We are pretty sure that many of us waited for that letter from Hogwarts when we turned 11, but alas, we had to be happy with our Muggle status.
