Off to Newcastle for #SAMvSCO and if lots of you tweet #AsOne to support Scotland, you can have Sirius’s birthday! #RugbyWorldCup

J.K. Rowling, who was cheering on Scotland’s rugby team over the weekend, enlisted some support from her Twitter following by dangling some Harry Potter fun facts.
@jk_rowling @HelenMilburn @JournoStephen more like Sirius Blackmail — Vic (@Hinny_Potter) October 10, 2015
All in good fun, tons of Harry Potter fans, despite their rugby allegiances, tweeted #AsOne to learn when the Marauder was born.
We can definitely still be friends. Thank you for the #AsOne x https://t.co/o53GPLrETq

The Scottish team did end up winning, with witchcraft, of course, playing no part. To no surprise, Sirius is a Scorpio.
WE WON!!!!!! And Sirius Black was born on the 3rd of November xxxxxxxx — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) October 10, 2015
Hey guys, I just realized: Sirius Black’s birthday is right after Voldemort killed James and Lily (October 31st) so he spent it either tracking down Pettigrew or in prison/was reminded of it every year. Aw, ok, I’m going to be sad the rest of the day now.
