Quick, go look.  On JKR's site the calendar says the 29th is 
Neville's birthday!  I checked on the Lexicon and didn't see a date 
for him....so someone go be a witness!

But the DD said Neville and Harry are of same birthday, i.e. July 31.



Dharma replies:

Actually the prophecy says:

"The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches, born to 
those that have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies
"

And then Dumbledore tells Harry:

"...Sybil's prophecy could have applied to two wizard boys, both born 
at the end of July that year
"

Neville could have been born on the 29th or 30th, according to 
Dumbledore's account.  He never gives Harry an actual date.
