"Of course, his birthdays were never exactly fun– last year, the Dursleys had given him a coat-hanger and a pair of Uncle Vernon’s old socks. Still, you weren't eleven every day."
— Description[src]

Harry Potter's tenth birthday occurred on 31 July 1990.

History[]

This birthday, like all others with the Dursley family, was not exciting or enjoyable, since the mean-spirited and miserly Dursleys gave him very lacklustre presents: a pair of Vernon Dursley's old socks and a coat-hanger. Harry recalled this birthday on the 30 July 1991, while somewhat looking forward to his eleventh birthday that would occur the next day, whilst he and the Dursleys were about to travel to the Hut-on-the-Rock.[1]
