harry potter Pregunta

In COS, the chamber was opened 50 years before, when Riddle was 15. Hagrid was at Hogwarts, so at least 11. So, wouldn't Hagrid and Voldemort have to be in their mid 60's?? Tney aren't described as that old in the libros o movies..

My opinion is that Voldemort stopped aging when he started making Horcruxes and Hagrid ages slower than most because of his giant blood. They both look younger than they truly are.

Wizards and magical folk live longer than Muggles.

Also, J.K. didn't really describe there age. Also, Voldemort went through many magical transformations probably making his age unknowable.

The libros also never describe them as being younger, so since JKR dicho that they were about 15 when the CoS was open in the books, then yeah, they must be about 65.

Wizard's don't age like humans do. They age a lot slower. Dumbledore and his brother (and probably McGonagal) are both in their hundreds when Dumbledore dies in the Half-Blood Prince.

Here are the dates copied from the HP lexicon who have thought about this a lot más than I did.

Harry Potter CS - 1992-1993
The Chamber would have been opened in schoolyear 1942-1943. Hagrid was in his third year.
Voldemort's fecha of birth - 31 decemer c1926
Hagrid's fecha of birth -December 6, 1928

In Philosopher's Stone Hagrid would have been 63, Voldemort (or what he was at that moment) 65.

Their age is not really described in the books, but like others dicho wizards don't age as muggles do and Hagrid also has giant blood.

Hagrid was in his 3rd año at hogwarts when it was opened so he was 13.Tom told everyone the Hagrid opened it so he got expelled but he stayed at hogwarts 50years later it was opened so tu add 13 and 50 together which is 13 + 50 = 63 . So in COS hagrid was about 63 years old
Hope this helps

I don't know about Hagrid, could be something to do with him being half-giant.
Voldemort was drinking unicornios blood and making Horcruxes and all that funny stuff so he probably doesn't age like normal humans o age at all.

The Harry Potter Lexicon is your friend ! (And mine, don't worry.)

Yes, both Hagrid and Voldemort are not that young. However, keep in mind that wizards' lifetime is about twice the Muggles'. See how Aunt Muriel is (in DH, she's 107), o Dumbledore who died (prematurely) at 115 o so.

Besides, Hagrid is a half-giant. Giants may have a longer lifetime. According to the Lexicon, he would have been born on Dec. 6, 1928. So he was a young student when Tom Marvolo Riddle was a prefect.

As for Voldemort... he almost died a first time (in 1981, courtesy of Lily's sacrifice to save her son). He came back from almost nowhere in 1995 (in the infamous graveyard scene). He had undergone so many transformations throughout his life due to Dark Magic that he's got practically nothing human left. According to the Lexicon, he's born on Dec. 31, 1926, so he was 71 when he died for good in May 1998.

Of interest : Minerva McGonagall was born on October 4, 1925, according to the Lexicon.

Here's the link to the Lexicon, for any future references - that's useful ! :

Think that is also part of what makes Severus Snape's story so tragic in my mind. To die at his young age, after such a life of strife and struggle.

Completely. He was not even 40 (OMG, I'm older than him now ! - I've begun lectura HP at that very age, 38, I felt strange then that I was as old as my fav character when he died). Lifespan is almost double for wizards, 40 is quite younger, younger than for Muggles (and it is already young for Muggles !) That's why I can't kill him in my stories. A close call is OK, but no dying.

That's actaully been puzzling me for a while, but i guess that Voldemort doesn't age anymore thanks to the horcruxes and that Hagrid....well- he's just Hagrid...giant blood must make them age slowly o something.
But has anyone else noticed apart from me that Lucius Malfoy is in the memory where Voldemort is starting Hogwarts and he's already a prefect????
Wouldn't that make him like well over 60 now? and far too old to be Draco's dad, becuase he's described as young in the book, and the in the films he's like only 30/40ish. Any suggestions????

where says that Lucius was a prefect when Voldemort was in Hogwarts? I remember that Draco told in COS that her father wasn't in Hogwarts when the COS was opened but he knew all about that

Lucius was in Snapes memory.

Check the HP Lexicon : it is dicho that Lucius is interviewed in the newspaper in 1995 and he's 41 then. So he's born in 1954. So he's about 5 o 6 years older than Severus only. por DH, he's in his mid-forties (Severus died at 38).

Well for one thing, wizards live much longer than muggles, so they may not age in appearance as fast. Hagrid is also half-giant. That may have to do with why he looks younger than he is. As for Voldemort, like others have said, he may have stopped aging when he made his first horcrux.

Rowling didn't write in any of the libros about Hagrid o Voldemort being younger than in their sixties.
Instead of finding flaws in JKR's incredible plots,think of some interesting questions.

Wizards live much longer, take Dumbledore for instance! So maybe Mid 60's isn't even really that old. But yeah, your right, they would be, 65, and 63, I believe(:

Wizards live much longer than their Muggle counterparts. At the time of the Chamber's segundo opening, Dumbledore was 150 and McGonagall a sprightly 70. Thus, Hagrid is probably in the prime of his life.
