Searching for back to school supplies in Diagon Alley? While you’re there - grab something special for Harry Potter! According to Harry Potter lore, the boy wizard was born on July 31, 1980 (by the way, J K Rowling also was born on July 31 - coincidence? I don’t think so).

Of course, time does a number on all of us as we age, so no comments on his butterbeer belly. Thanks.
