July 31 is always a big day for Scholastic employees and fans: it's the birthday of not just beloved author J.K. Rowling, but also of her most famous creation, Harry Potter himself!
We've been celebrating Harry Potter all throughout July in preparation for today's big day. ICYMI, check out our Harry Potter Memory Wall, where dozens of readers have shared incredible memories of their favorite Harry moments. We Pinned some of their words to our Harry Potter Pinterest board, and today, there's even a Harry Potter Readathon happening on The Stacks! Plus, Michael talks about waiting (or not) for his kids to read the series, Nadia took a trip to London and had some fun Harry moments, and Mike rounded up our childhood book patronuses.
