Sometimes, the birthdays of characters from our favorite shows or series are not listed in the books or movies but are still known. Authors will release tidbits or make an announcement on their birthday. This isn’t something that every fan will know though, unfortunately.

To make it easier to find some of your favorite character’s birthdays, we have compiled a list. That way, you can celebrate the birthdays of your favorite character, and maybe see if you share the same birthday as someone else.

For those that watched the movies, you may have seen that his birthday was during the summer when he was away from the wizarding world, but you may not know the exact day.

22 Superman - February 29th

     Warner Bros. Pictures

Superman has been around for a long time, shown in a variety of TV shows, movies, and comics. While his birthday has certainly been mentioned once or twice, it makes sense that unless you are a die-hard fan that has read and watched everything, you could easily miss it.

Or maybe you have never thought about him having a birthday. Though he is from a different planet, he was born like everyone else.

For those wondering, Superman’s birthday is on February 29th. This means he is a leap-year baby and only gets to celebrate his birthday once every four years!

However, as Clark Kent, he has a different birthday, which is June 18th. We assume this is the birthday he celebrates most often, but it is interesting to note that he has two.

21 Batman - April 17th

     Warner Bros Pictures

Unlike Superman, Batman doesn’t have two birthdays. However, as Bruce Wayne, he does have a day he celebrates his birth.

This is April 17th. For those curious, this is the same day as Daffy Duck. Unfortunately, it seems that Batman’s creators haven’t been super consistent with his birthday. While some reports say it is in April, the superhero calender and other reports say February 19th. In the comics, Bruce says his birthday is sometime in October, while writer Frank Miller says it is sometime in November.

This means that it is up to the fans to celebrate which day is actually his birthday. What we do know for sure, however, is that Batman likes to celebrate his birthday by pushing himself to his absolute limit.

20 Malcolm Reynolds - September 20

     20th Television

Those who watched Firefly are often left heartbroken with how little they know about the characters. The series was canceled far too early after a series of time slot changes. While fans worked hard to create a sequel in movie form, it didn’t answer a lot of questions.

One of which might be what everyone’s birthday is. While we might not know everyone’s birthday on the ship, we can tell you the captain’s. It is on September 20th.

19 Edward Cullen - June 20th

     Lionsgate

With Edward Cullen from Twilight being an immortal vampire, he likely stopped celebrating his birthday long ago, if he even still remembers it. We don’t know if Bella decided to start celebrating it or not, but we are sure that at one point or another, he did have one.

But when was it? According to the writer, Edward Cullen’s birthday is on June 20th.

18 Ash Ketchum - May 22nd

     OLM, Inc.

There are jokes throughout the Pokémon community about whether Ash Ketchum even ages. After all, since the show was first aired in 1997, Ash has still been the perfect 10-year-old boy.

Despite somehow magically never aging, Ash does have a birthday. It is on May 22nd. This means, for those curious, that he was 10 years, 10 months, and 10 days old when he first started on his journey with Pikachu. For those even more curious, he was born in 1987, which would have made him 35 when the series ended in 2022.

17 Wonder Woman - March 22nd

Wonder Woman comes from a unique part of the world, the fictional island of Themyscira. She was born in 3000 BC. This makes her well over 3,000 years old. At some point, she probably forgot her birthday, or mixed up the dates. After all, calendars worked a little differently and the dates didn’t quite match up from 3000 BC to now.

However, according to the comics, her birthday is listed as March 22nd. Whether that was her original date of birth or just the date she picked, we don’t know, but it is when her birthday is listed. It’s a popular date, and she shares it with Captain Kirk from Star Wars and Kenny from South Park.

16 Bella Swan - September 13th

     Summit Entertainment 

While Edward Cullen and the rest of his family may be long-living vampires, Bella was just a human at the beginning, and likely celebrated her birthday like most other people her age.

So when is her birthday? It seems to be on September 13th. Strangely enough, she was born the same year as Ash Ketchum, which would have put her at 35 years old in 2022. However, now that she is a vampire, she is stuck at 18 forever.

15 Draco Malfoy - June 5th

While Draco Malfoy wasn’t the main antagonist of Harry Potter, he was definitely the person Harry hated the most. However, many fans of the series ended up liking Draco as the bad-boy character.

For fans of the angsty teenager, you can celebrate his birthday on June 5th. Though, he is no longer a teenager. As of 2022, he would have been 40. That puts him a bit older than many of the fans of the book. Interestingly, he was born in the same year as Harry Potter, so he is just under two months older than the main character.

14 Dean Winchester - January 24th

Fans of Supernatural know that Dean Winchester is the older brother of the Winchesters. However, since they grew up pretty much raising themselves, he doesn’t go through a lot of effort celebrating his birthday. He usually focuses on his brother, Sam, and his birthday, which was on May 2nd.

But Dean deserves just as much love and attention on his birthday as his brother. So when is it exactly? Dean’s birthday is January 24th.

For a little extra tidbit, he was born in 1979, while Sam was born in 1983, which only made him four years older than his brother whom he basically had to raise.

13 Indiana Jones - July 1st

     Paramount Pictures

The Indiana Jones movies and comics are more about action and ancient archeological sites, so much of the history of Indiana Jones himself never gets mentioned. We get enough to get his backstory, but that is about it.

However, in 1992, a show was created about this beloved character, specifically focused on his time as a younger version of himself. We see him usually between the ages of 16 to 21, with some other ages included as well.

The show, known as The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles covered a lot more of his history, including when he was born, and his middle name, which happens to be Walton. As we can see in the show, his birthday is July 1st, and he was born in 1899.

12 Sherlock Holmes - January 6th

     BBC

Sherlock Holmes has been a beloved character for many decades now. There have been books, movies, comics, and TV shows about the legendary fictional detective, and he has even changed the game for actual detectives with the way he went through his deductive process.

11 Scott Pilgrim - September 27th

     Universal Pictures

Scott Pilgrim was originally a comic that was adapted into a movie called Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World. The main character Scott is pretty relatable and funny to many men around his age, as he is awkward and nervous. However, he ends up being the hero and saving the girl, which is pretty amazing.

Many comic fans know his birthday, but those who have only watched the movie may be unaware of Scott’s birthday. For those wondering, it happens to be September 27th, which we see in one strip of the comic.

10 Ginny Weasley - August 11th

Ginny Weasley is the youngest of the Weasley siblings, which makes her the younger sister of Ron Weasley. Later, she becomes a love interest and eventually gets together with our main character Harry Potter. Though she is the younger sibling, she isn’t all that young, only a year below our main trio.

One big disappointment for fans of the book was this character. In the book, she is bold and funny and has a strong personality, while in the movie all we see is some love-struck little girl. We don’t get to know anything else about her including her birthday. However, it happens to be August 11th.

9 Katniss Everdeen - May 8th

Katniss Everdeen is from the Hunger Games series. Though a lot going on in the books and movies, and her birthday never really gets celebrated, we do get told in the very first book that her birthday is May 8th.

In fact, her birthday is pretty important to her mindset. She was not yet 12 at the time the book started, which would be when she could go and get a job to feed her family. On the day of her birthday, May 8th, she signed up and started her first job.

8 Seto Kaiba - October 25th

     TXN

Seto Kaiba is one of the primary antagonists in the animated series Yu-Gi-Oh. Despite being a bad guy and getting in the way in almost every arc of the show, many fans came to love him.

A lot of this was because of his devotion to his little brother and his rough past. His birthday is important to him because it is when he was given his percentage of KaibaCorp and told to use the money however he wanted, which started his life plan in motion. But what day was that? According to the series, his birthday is on October 25th.

7 Neville Longbottom - July 30th

Those who watched the movie or read the book series closely know that despite his relatively minor part in the series, Neville Longbottom could have potentially had a big role in the story.

According to a prophecy, because their birthdays were so close together, either Neville Longbottom or Harry Potter could have been the one designed to defeat Voldemort. But how close were their birthdays? Only a day apart, with Neville’s being the day before on July 30th.

6 Ron Weasley - March 1st

Ron is the middle child of the golden trio. Harry is the youngest while Hermione is the oldest. He is the youngest son of the Weasleys and the second-youngest child overall.

As for when his actual birthday is, it is March 1st. This puts him about six months younger than Hermione and five months older than Harry. We don’t get to see his birthday until the Half-Blood Prince book though when he comes of age and gets a bunch of presents.

5 Doogie Howser - September 21st

Doogie Howser M.D. was a show about a young kid that was incredibly intelligent and earned a medical degree. He eventually became a doctor and saved many lives.

But how old exactly was Doogie Howser, and when was his birthday? Interestingly, the pilot episode was aired on September 19th and was when we first see Doogie’s birthday being celebrated. According to the pilot episode, his birthday was September 21st, two days after the pilot actually aired. And he was shown turning 16 on that day.

4 Frodo Baggins - September 22nd

Frodo Baggins is the main character in the Lord of the Rings series. We see him interacting with Bilbo Baggins on his birthday before he heads out with the ring to go on his adventure. But when is Frodo Baggins’s birthday? According to the books, it is on September 22nd. This also became Hobbit Day, to be celebrated by people around the globe.

Those that watched the movies or read the book may know that there is a 17-year age gap between when we see Frodo at Bilbo Baggins’s birthday party at the beginning and when he set out on his adventure. He left on his 50th birthday while at Bilbo’s birthday party, he was 33.
