Whenever it is time to celebrate Harry's birthday again, the Potterheads come rushing in.

There's nothing quite like a community of people coming together to celebrate a day that means a lot to them. Sure, it happens when a family member or a friend celebrates a special occasion, but we care more about days that are special to a fandom. Fandoms are the ones who truly know how to make random days into holidays that mean the world to the community, and they know how to make it fun.

When it comes to the Harry Potter fandom, boy oh boy, do we have special occasions to celebrate. For years, Potterheads have reported at Platform 9¾ at King's Cross Station in London on September 1st to hear the Hogwarts Express announcement, or made themselves homemade butterbeer to celebrate the international Harry Potter Day on May 2nd, also known as the anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. We love mentioning important dates like Voldemort's birthday, the day that Harry got his first Hogwarts letter, and the release dates for all seven books and eight movies. 

But the one day the Harry Potter fandom celebrates the most is July 31st, which is Harry Potter's famous birthday.

Harry's birthday is a day that has significant meaning in the books, starting from his 11th birthday, which led Hagrid to burst into that shed with a memorable birthday cake and an even more iconic announcement ("Yer a wizard, Harry"), and ending with his 17th birthday, which finally made Harry an adult wizard, allowed to perform magic outside of the school.

Harry has seen some crazy birthdays in his time as a student, and probably some more crazy ones past the ending of the last book, and the Potterheads are here for each one. So, in honor of Harry's 46th birthday this year, we wanted to celebrate in the best way we know of: through some magical memes about the best series in the world. Scroll through them while you're celebrating this awesome day in you're own way.
