Harry Potter’s Birthday

Harry Potter’s Birthday is no ordinary birthday; it’s about a completely fictional character. So, buy a magic wand and mantle and have a magical party. The author, J.K. Rowling, also has her birthday on July 31.

History

The story of Harry Potter is perhaps the most successful in modern fantasy literature. The books describe the life of a boy over 11 years, during which time amazing events happen to him – he ends up in a school of magic, finds friends, fights a terrible evil wizard, and, of course, finds his love. J.K. Rowling came up with the boy and the story about him while waiting for a train from Manchester to London in 1990. She worked on the manuscript for 5 years. Many of the episodes were written in Edinburgh cafes.

Interesting Facts

  • The first 500 copies of the book were published on June 26, 1997. From that day on, the magic began. This book has sold over 450 million copies worldwide, and Harry Potter has become a real addiction for children and adults.
  • Few people know the story of Harry Potter appeared in the year J.K. Rowling’s mother died. The author so acutely experienced the tragedy, she decided to make the main character an orphan.

How to Take Part
