Happy Birthday, Albus

J.K. Rowling has never revealed Albus Dumbledore's birthday. HP Lexicon speculates that it must fall some time in July or August of 1881. In the three years (!) since I've started doing these birthday posts, I have found that character birthdays, when read in The Secret Language of Birthdays by Gary Goldschneider and Joost Elffers are often an obvious match by title alone. Using those two criteria (the speculative date and the title similarity), I am guessing Dumbledore's birthday as August 1.
