Neville Longbottom Birthday Facts and Notable Birthday Moments

Birthday quick facts

Birthday: July 30, 1980

Age note: Turns 46 on July 30

Canon note: Lexicon lists July 30, 1980 for Neville Longbottom and notes the date through Order of the Phoenix era canon and Rowling confirmation. Source

Neville Longbottom’s birthday falls on July 30, 1980, just one day before Harry’s. That makes it one of the most significant birthdays on the whole page because it links directly to the prophecy about the child born as the seventh month dies.

Neville’s date is interesting not because of presents or parties, but because of possibility. The series asks readers to imagine how differently events might have unfolded if Voldemort had chosen Neville instead of Harry.

That gives Neville’s birthday page a wonderful mix of canon fact and character insight. It is a simple date on the calendar, but it opens up one of the biggest what-if questions in the story.
