Harry Potter day
Chapter 1
On this day, in 1998, The Battle of Hogwarts was fought and Harry Potter defeated Lord Voldemort! ... So wishing you a happy International Harry Potter Day!
Every year, on May 2, people all over the world honour Rowling’s book series by celebrating International Harry Potter Day. The tradition began in 2012 when British Prime Minister David Cameron officially designated the day.
“There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Ms Rowling’s work has had a huge and undeniable impact on the literary world as we know it,” Cameron said in his 2012 statement. “In order to fully commemorate and immortalize her work, we have to decide to officially declare May 2nd as an official international holiday, in honour of the date that protagonist Harry Potter conquered the main antagonist of the series, Lord Voldemort. We hope that children and adults alike will be reminded of Harry Potter’s strong and courageous character on this day, as well as of the true credit that Ms Rowling has made to society.”
As Cameron revealed in his statement, May 2 was chosen because it is the date the Battle of Hogwarts takes place in the Harry Potter series. It was on this day that Harry and his friends finally defeated Lord Voldemort. In the books, it was the day the world was finally able to go back to normal.
