Happy Birthday, Harry
No craft content in this post:
Though she has other things to do than read knitting blogs, a happy birthday to author JK Rowling, and to her creation, Harry Potter! Though it's hard to believe, based on the books and movies, Harry is 24 today. This can be calculated based on Nearly Headless Nick's party in the book (not the movie) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. As of that party, Nick had been dead for 500 years, and the date on his cake was October 31, 1492, making the "current" year 1992. Harry had turned 12 on July 31st that year, making his birthdate July 31, 1980.
In honor of the day, here is a quiz, courtesy of Katy.
