Harry Potter Stirrup Queens Harry Potter Birthday Celebration Contests and Programme 2011
');  JK Rowling may be a muggle, but her ability to write 7 page-turning Harry Potter novels is that of a wizard. At only 46 years old, she's one of the richest women in the world. Get all the details at Astrology.com! Happybirthday, JK Rowlin

Harry Potter turns 31 today. He was luckily born the same year as my brother, which is also a nice round year on the calendar, so it’s easy to keep his age straight (thank you, Ms. Rowling). Which means that the great battle took place in June of 1997.

I wonder if he had a birthday party that year. I mean, despite the good that came from that, his world was also shattered with all the loss; with what he witnessed. I wonder if he felt like digging into some chocolate cake a few weeks after that fight.

Which made me think about where I was on Harry Potter’s birthday back in 1997; what was happening in my life as he was recovering from battling Voldemort.

I was living in Massachusetts, working at a camp where I taught art. I lived in a co-op for free in exchange for being the handywoman/point person. My grandfather died, and I was heartbroken. I stopped weeding our co-op’s garden and the strawberries overtook the plot of land. I had just completed my translation project for graduate school. I had a crush on a boy named Pete, but we would have been terrible together, so we didn’t date. I babysat a lot. Dave Matthew’s video for “Crash” seemed to always be playing when I turned on MTV. I ate vegetable sandwiches pretty much for every single meal that summer so I must have also had three on his birthday.

A really ordinary life. You juxtapose that with the birthday Harry Potter must have been having. Were people lining up to give him presents, grateful for all that he did for them? Was Ms.Weasley holding up her hand and saying, “I know it’s your birthday, Harry, but my heart just isn’t capable of whipping up a cake and streamers for you just now
