Happy Birthday Sirius Black!

Last month J.K. Rowling tweeted that she would give us Sirius Black’s birthday if Scotland won their rugby match. The Scottish were victorious, and today we are able to celebrate Harry’s godfather’s birthday!

Sirius Black was an amazing character. He was the father figure Harry never had growing up at the Dursley’s. In addition to his warmth and bravery, after enduring the cells of Azkaban, the cunning Animagus was able to escape the high security prison.

Though his name was not cleared of his wrong imprisonment until after his untimely death, we all knew Sirius to be valiant and true of heart.

In honor of his birthday, Pottermore shared a piece of Sirius concept art…art that may make you shiver. While J.K. Rowling shared her favorite piece of Sirius fan art, which will bring warm fuzzy feelings and perhaps a few tears to fans’ eyes.

Please joining us in wishing one of the Potter fandom’s favorite characters a very happy birthday!
