Harry's birthday cake

Illustration of the cake based on the novel

"Anyway — Harry, a very happy birthday to yeh. Got summat fer yeh here — I mighta sat on it at some point, but it'll taste all right."
Rubeus Hagrid[src]

This birthday cake was given to Harry Potter on his eleventh birthday in 1991 by Rubeus Hagrid. It was a large, sticky chocolate cake with "Happy Birthday Harry" written on it in green icing.[1] The next morning, Hagrid, feeling a bit peckish, said that he wouldn't say no to a bit of it, there being some leftover.[2]
