April 1, 1978 — April Fool's Day — is the birthday of Fred and George Weasley, the twin pranksters of Hogwarts who founded Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes and devoted their considerable magical talents to chaos, laughter, and making school life slightly more survivable. J.K. Rowling has confirmed the date was entirely intentional.
