The soon-to-be legend Harry Potter was born on July 31st, the same day as his creator, J.K. Rowling.
-
Lord Voldemort murdered Lily and James Potter, orphaning a young Harry. Through the magic of love (cheesy but true), Harry survived being attacked by Voldemort, with only a scar on his forehead in the shape of a lightning bolt. Voldemort's curse backfired, basically causing him to be in a ghostly state for many years. This event in history gained him the nickname of "The Boy Who Lived" in the wizarding world. Sadly, Harry was sent to his Aunt and Uncle, who wanted nothing to do with wizards.
