Alla:

LOL! I went and checked again and it still says Neville Longbottom,
born July 30.

I guess you are right,Jen. 7th month dies three times. :o)"

Paula Now:

I checked again just this minute and saw 30/7/04.  Seems to me that you're both right.  Remember that originally, months were lunar; the new month began with the New Moon and mid-month the full moon.  So, the month was considered to be in the process of ending around the fifteenth--as the full moon waned.  Hence, the month doesn't die 3 times, but has been in the PROCESS of dying since the fifteenth.
