When were James Potter and Lily Potter born in the Harry Potter series?
In the Harry Potter universe, James Potter was born on March 27, 1960, and Lily Potter was born on January 30, 1960. Their birth years place them in the same Hogwarts cohort. They were both Gryffindors, and their relationship blossomed during their school years, despite their initial animosity.
James was known for his mischievous nature, often bullying others, particularly Severus Snape. Lily, on the other hand, was kind-hearted and talented in potion-making and charms. Tragically, both were killed by Lord Voldemort on October 31, 1981, while protecting their son, Harry Potter, from Voldemort’s curse.
