Harry Potter Day

Harry Potter Day is held on May 2. This event in the first decade of the month May is annual.
Harry Potter Day occurs on May 2 because it's the date Harry defeated Voldemort in the Battle of Hogwarts. In the fictional story penned by J.K. Rowling, Harry and his friends took on Voldemort and his Death Eaters on the grounds of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the early hours of May 2, 1998. While many people think Harry Potter Day should go down on July 31, a.k.a. the titular wizard’s birthday, there is a very specific reason why it occurs on May 2.
In 2012, fans around the world cheered Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron’s declaration that May 2 would be known as International Harry Potter Day.
Total revenue in the entertainment segment is projected to reach $27.86 billion in 2022. The emergence of such holidays on many national or international calendars, only underscores the growing demand in this area. Audience interest in high-quality products has long been a cross-national phenomenon, and this is a profoundly positive sign of the development of our real civilization.
