Harry received the most awesome life changing news on his 11th birthday from our half-giant friend, Hagrid, not to mention a pretty tasty cake.
He then got to go to a pretty sweet wizard boarding school and basically be the envy of every child in the world.
Just remember, Voldemort destroyed all of the records of muggle-born witches and wizards born between 1985 - 1998, so there's still hope for us!
