Happy Birthday, Harry Potter! Everyone's favorite wizard schoolboy was born on July 31st, 1980, and we're busy celebrating him like nobody's business. If I were a die-hard fan, I would go down to the Harry Potter Store in the Flatiron District and buy one of those $16 Happee Birthday Harry cupcakes, but I'd rather not catch a disease from the crowds or spend more than $5 on a cupcake. I feel like renting Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for $3.99 is a far more economical way to celebrate his birthday. After all, he's not a real person. I love him like he's my own brother, but it's not like you need to give him more money. He's already richer than God, both in canon and in real life. If you want to celebrate Harry Potter in a totally free way, these Harry Potter memes are ready and available.
