Potterheads are going crazy as their favourite titular character Harry Potter turned 39 !

The much-loved and celebrated character has seen Daniel Radcliffe as it's human counterpart since the first film from the series 'Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone' hit the big screens in 2001. And since then people have lived with the character along til the last film from the series 'Harty Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2' released in 2011.

The wizard boy started his journey as an 11-year old boy who is sent to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and spanned through eight films ending his trail as an adult seeing off his children at the station just as he left once.
