I just wanted to know
How old was Bellatrix when she became a Death Eater & When she married Rodolphus Lestrange?

Its for a RPG i'm joining

Fallowing information is from Wikipedia:

QUOTE

Bellatrix Black was born to Cygnus and Druella (Rosier) Black in 1951.

QUOTE

Bellatrix married Rodolphus Lestrange after leaving Hogwarts "because it was expected of her" to marry a pure-blood.

So I guess when she was 18 or so when she got married to him.

Confusing numbers! We know Hagrid is definitely over fifty because in CoS he was at least 11, and that was fifty years ago!

The whole Charlie thing is a good question. I was wondering this when I was reading the epilouge in DH. It's nineteen years later and Fluer and Bill's kid is only 11.... Same age as Ron and Hemriones and Harry and Ginny's. And we know he's at least 7 years older than Ginny.

But Tonks is quite young, because in OotP, it says that Tonks wasn't old enough to be in the order first time round, and I'm guessing you had to be of age. And the old one was 17 years ago, so I'd say mid-twenty's. PLus she's really cool. Key factor!

The thing about Bill and Fleurs child only being 11 years old, James (Harry's son) said that they were snogging. Forgive me if I am wrong but, an 11 year old snogging a 19 year old seems odd.

Well, according to the Harry Potter Lexicon, Hagrid was born in 1928, which would make him 63 at the time of the first book, if my maths is correct.

That would also make him nearly 79 today. According to Lexicon his birthday is December 6.

Also on Lexicon it says that Tom Marvolo Riddle was born in 1926 on December 31. That would make him 65 during the first book and 69 in June 2005 when he rose back to power.

Hope that makes sense and helps...

But he didn't rise back to power in 2005, it would have been 1995 cos DH is set in 1997!!!!

Ahh so sorry, what was I thinking?! My mistake, I meant 1995, I worked out the age for 1995 in any case I just wrote the year down wrong.

And yep, it is said in earlier posts but according to the Harry Potter Lexicon Tonks was indeed born in 1973.

As for Victoire, it says on the Harry Potter Lexicon that in September 2017 she is in her seventh year of Hogwarts, so being 17 in 2017 means she must have been born in 2000. When the epilogue takes place, 2017, she is 17 and Teddy Lupin is 19, an acceptable age gap.

Hope this helps

This is an excellent explanation, but JKR said in an interview that Victoire's birth date is May 2nd 1999, the first anniversary of

So in the epilogue, if Victoire's birthdate is correct, she wouldn't even be in school anymore! Perhaps JKR got mixed up between the years 1997 and 1998 (She did mix up the year of

on her official website.

Perhaps we can figure out someday.

I have always been curious about this and I was wondering which twin you thought was older. I personally always thought George. He seemed more careful for some reason. And aren't the older ones usually more careful and wiser? I think so! Okay then, vote and discuss.

that's a good theory.. I am the oldest at home and I'm not exactly the type who jumps in 3 ditches.

But I can't see which twin is who..

I've always imagined George being the oldero one. I don't know why. Very good reasons Luna♥Lover. He did seem to be more careful.

Yes, good one!

I always pictured George older though, I don't know why... Maybe because he's more mature and calm, more than Fred, at least!

If I had seen this earlier I would have told you that we already have a thread to discuss how old is?????. Since a few of you have already posted, I will merge these posts into that thread.

how old would hagrid be in the 19 years later thing...

im guessing

when harry is in 2nd year he is 63 coz he was in his 3rd year 50 years ago
add years left of harrys time at hogwarts 68
add 19 = 87

my math is rubbish

am i about right????

Jun 30 2008, 07:01 PM

yes you are right. you're math is correct. so does that mean that in the wizarding world the age affects the person differently than in the muggle world? like for wizards it takes longer to age even though you can be about 100 or more?

She's old enough to bear a child. (spoiler) However I wouldn't think she's over 30 years old, probably in her mid-twenties. She's very cheerful and happy most of the time and definitely hasn't reached her "cat-lady" stage yet, which leaves her in her mid-twenties.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that she was about 21, but I'm not 100% sure.
