Today we celebrate the birthdays of two of our favorite fictional and non-fictional people: Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling. If we tried to explain how much they’ve meant to us all here this year, we’d fail. So, as has been tradition here on Leaky, we bring some celebratory artwork instead. This year our dear talented friend Frak has done the honors, depicting our trio in a very special spot applauding their creator:

Have a wonderful day in Scotland, Jo, and have a wonderful day in fictional whereverland, Harry. :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HARRY POTTER! What a wonderful thing that you lived, married that red-headed spit-fire, and have a wonderful, happy family. Lift an Old Ogden’s Firewhiskey to the man who lived.

Happy Birthday, Jo! My twin sons turn 17 in three days, just as Harry did at the beginning of Deathly Hallows. They have grown up with Harry and are, in their own words, the “Harry Potter Generation.” I thank you for the gift you have given them and all of us . . .

Happy Birthday to the both of you! To Harry, enjoy your well-deserved “normal” life. To Jo, thank you so much for changing our lives in such a magically positive way.

Best wished from America.
