Hi everyone!
31st July is the birthday of one of the most famous and beloved fantasy characters- you guessed it right, it's none other than The Boy Who Lived!



In celebration of Harry's birthday, we have a fun challenge for you! (Let's participate for Harry, okay? The poor boy didn't celebrate for ten years.)
