Harry's Seventeenth Birthday

PAGES: 113-114

Harry celebrates his seventeenth birthday, reveling in the fact that he is now free from the Trace. He practices magic casually, enjoying the ability to cast spells without restraint. Ron gives him a book, *Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches*, as a birthday present, and Mrs. Weasley gives Harry a family watch, a traditional gift for wizards coming of age.
