True, when I started reading them I was eleven (I didn't realise till years later that the book had been out about two years at the time!) and I was convinced Harry was born 31st July 1988 just two days after me and thus *right now* Harry was at Hogwarts. XD

There's still a little part of me that will always believe that Harry was *really* born in '88. Despite dratted canon! :P
