The very best of days to JK and Harry both. They deserve it!


Posted by srose2270 Jul 31st 2007

yeah, it does sounds like one Chelleybutton, lol. well happy birthday to both, both of them deserve it SO much for being apart of the best book series ever. i didn't cry in any of the books except for 7, omg, it was horrible. i almost cried 3 times (when a certain house elf died and a certain red-haired twin died and in the beginning of "the forest again") and actually did cry twice (upon discovering the death of the, ehem, 'new parents' even though it was just a little, and DEFINATELY in "the forest again" i was seriously crying. it was kinda bad, lol)

Happy birthday Jo and like many people have said, thank you for writing such wondrous pieces of literature...Harry and the wizarding world will not just live through the pages upon which you have written but through the hearts and souls that you have touched. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!:)

Happy Birthday, JK Rowling + Harry Potter! xxx


Posted by fudgecrackers34 Jul 31st 2007

Happy Birthday, Jo and Harry! I wish I could give you heaps of presents for all the hard work you have put into your writing, but alas, I can't think of any that are worthy!! lol :)


Posted by myHPobsession Jul 31st 2007

Happy birthday dear J.K.Rowling and Harry Pooter, happy birthday to you! And many more! Both have made an impact on my life as well as my own birthdays!

Happy Birthday Jo & Harry! And many Happy Returns!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO AND HARRY!!!!! We wish you many more years of happiness!!


Posted by Hpfanatic5566 Jul 31st 2007

Happy Birthday Jo and Harry! Should Harry be 37 though? If he was 17 during his 7th year at hogwarts and the epilouge was 19 years later shouldn't he be 37 not 27. 17+19=36 and it's his birthday so he's 37


Posted by gryffindor_lion Jul 31st 2007

Happy birthday Jo!!!! I hope Neil, Jessica, David, and Mackenzie are extra niice to you today!! Happy birthday Harry!!!!! Ginny, James, and Albus better get you a good present! (Lily isn't born yet) And talk about spoiling the book. "Ginny and the kids". What about all those people who haven't read the book yet? (I did, obviously.)


Posted by MrsGeorgeWeasley Jul 31st 2007

I have to agree, that initial post was a spoiler. If I didn't finish the book, and was just checking up on some things, it would have ruined it for me. But, I can't complain because MuggleNet has done the best job keeping spoilers under control. You guys rock. But, anyways, HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO!! You have made the literary world a more interesting place....for sure!! And Harry---You should have married me. That is all. lol

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FROM THE WEASLY FAMILY AND REST OF THE POTTER FAMILY HARRY! AND TO JKROWLING WE LOVE YOU AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU ALL!


Posted by srose2270 Jul 31st 2007

i just have to post again to echo what fudgecrackers34 said. there's honestly no gift possible that can reciprocate what jo's given us. seriously, what present out there would be great enough to give to the person who gave us harry potter?


Posted by ida_ym Jul 31st 2007

Happy Birthday to Jo and Harry!! :D


Posted by Popsy Jul 31st 2007

Otanjoobi omedetto! (just learnt that in Japanese today...) Many happy returns to both of you! And we think... we now have a perfect record of the events of 31 July 1997... exactly 10 years ago... YIPPEE! You both deserve it!


Posted by Audrey Jul 31st 2007

Happy Birthday JK Rowling!!!! And, of course, Harry!!!!! Wow, it's been a while, but happy happy happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope it's amazing for all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!


Posted by valray Jul 31st 2007

happy birthday you two! jo, i hope you're enjoying it now that you'll have some time off!


Posted by Hpfanatic5566 Jul 31st 2007

Yes, I do agree that "Ginnny and the kids" was a spoiler but not a particulary bad one. I think it was safe to assume that most people thought Harry would end up with Ginny if he survived. But if they had not read the book it might have given up a couple plot parts.


Posted by Kitty09b Jul 31st 2007

Happy birthday Harry, happy birthday Jo! It's been awesome reading the series, I can't believe the last book has come out already! I remember after the 6th book came out, I thought, "Only two more years until the end. . ." I had no idea just how right I was. I hope that JKR and Harry have the best birthday ever!


Posted by padfootandme Jul 31st 2007

Happy Birthday Jo!!! Happy Birthday Harry!!! Hope you both spend a wonderful day with your families :)

Happy Birthday Jo and Harry! We owe them both so much. Ginny and the kids......that is wonderful to hear. Happy Birthday to the writer and character that has done so much for us!


Posted by Wotcher16 Jul 31st 2007

A very happy Birthday Jo and Harry! Hope it is peaceful and relaxing one as you both quite deserve :) We absolutely adore you!


Posted by PrezLeefun Jul 31st 2007

Happy Birthday Jo. Thank You for the books. I really have loved them. Great Job.


Posted by lizatheloser Jul 31st 2007

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JO! Thank you for creating the most wonderful series of books that I will ever have the pleasure to read. I hope you (and Harry!) have great days. And "Ginny and the kids" was not a spoiler. 1. If you haven't finished book 7 by now, you're probably not a real Harry fan anyways, so what are you doing on MuggleNet? 2. We ALL knew it was gonna happen anyways! =] Happy b-day Jo and Harry


Posted by chaibabachai Jul 31st 2007

Happy birthday Jo and Harry!!!!!!! nothing but the best wishes for you two!! hope your day is extra special!


Posted by ajrome Jul 31st 2007

Happy birthday to you both! And thanks so much to Jo for introducing us to Harry and, for many of us, the entire world of books.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JO AND HARRY!!! You have revolutionized literature! We salute you! *takes off hat*


Posted by ChocolateChip09 Jul 31st 2007

oh, andrew, kinda let off a spoiler there. ah well. all I can say is, thank heaven that JKR was born! Happy birthday to them both.


Posted by Miss_Obliquus Jul 31st 2007

Happy birthday Harry! You deserve it! And to Jo, a heartfelt happy birthday as well. Although I would highly doubt that either of them will end up reading this comment. :P
