Revision as of 14:11, 17 September 2009

A Deathday Party is a celebration thrown by ghosts to commemorate the day they died. What seems to be a typical Deathday Party entails a candlelit dinner of rancid, moulded food, the smell of which would gag a normal living creature. The reason for this is apparently the claim that a ghost can "almost taste" seriously spoiled food.

Deathday Parties seem to the living to be rather gloomy affairs. Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger attended Sir Nicholas de Mimsy Porpington's 500th Deathday Party in 1992[1]. Sir Nicolas was deeply touched that the three students made an appearance.

The only people normally invited to a Deathday Party are no longer living, as noted once by Hermione Granger.
