"Thus, with the above grammatical reading of the headline, the 
birthday discrepancy for Harry Potter disappears.
Tuesday is July 30th, and Tuesday is Harry Potter's birthday.
Therefore, Harry Potter was born on July 30, 1980."


DuffyPoo:

With one possible fly in the ointment.  JKR has clearly stated HPs birthday is 31 July by posting it on her website calendar last week.  Also, DD said two boys born at the end of July, Harry and Neville.  He never once said their birthdays were the same day.  JKR indicated Neville's birthday as July 30th.

Whether the Daily Prophet is saying the break-in occurred on July 31, or that the investigation was continuing on July 31, HP read it as "the breaking which occurred on July 31" and referenced that to his own birthday.  I think the kid, as much of a dolt as I sometimes think he is, would surely know his own birthday.
