Happy July 31st everyone, and happy 45th birthday to the one and only, Harry Potter!

When my sister and I were kids, and absolutely obsessed with Harry Potter, we used to spend every July 31st celebrating the young wizard's birthday. We would bake a cake, decorate it as badly as Hagrid's cake, we would go shopping and pretend we were walking along Diagon Alley, looking for a new broom, and then end the day with homemade butterbeer and a movie marathon of our favorite Harry Potter movies.

It's quite silly, to make a day out of a fictional character's birthday, but every fandom member knows how much fun it can be. Why not have a cause for celebration anywhere we can find it? If you get a cake out of it, it's a win for everyone involved.

Which means that after you are done scrolling through this magical meme collection, you are going to go to the kitchen and bake a beautiful cake to celebrate Harry's birthday today. Then you can share these memes with the all of your wonderful family, and enjoy the rest of this enchanting day!
