How old?

I was doing a time line base on the 2nd book (so to not confuse many people)... The bold sentences are the one that I've been pondering upon.

- 50 years ago Tom Marvolo Riddle (Voldemort) was 15/16 years old. That will make Voldemort around 65 when Harry was 12.

-50 years ago Rubeus Hagrid was 13 years old and expelled. Hagrid then became the Hogwarts gamekeeper because of Dumbledore BUT Dippet was still the headmaster that time. (Is that right? Or did Hagrid have to wait for Dumbledore to be headmaster before he became the gamekeeper? And if so, how long?) Anyway, that will make Hagrid 63 years old in the 2nd book.

- 50 years ago, how old were Molly and Arthur Weasley?

- 11 years ago, Voldemort faces his downfall because of 1-yr-old Harry Potter. Voldemort was 53 years old that time. (How old were Lily and James Potter then?)

Voldemort was 42 when he started gaining power (according to GOF, he gained power steadily for 11 years until he met his downfall with Harry Potter.)

When Voldemort was 17, he graduated from Hogwarts and killed the Riddles the summer after the school year ended (I'll assume this because it says so in GOF that it was summer night when the Riddle family was murdered).

When Molly and Arthur was still at Hogwarts, Dippet was still the headmaster because according to Molly they had a different gamekeeper when they were at school. (Where was Hagrid? I'll assume that he's younger than Arthur or Molly, because he wasn't the gamekeeper then...?)

How old is Bill Weasley? (Charlie Weasley was 24 in the 2nd book, because according to POA "it's been 7 seven years since they've won the Quidditch cup, since Charlie Weasley had left school"😉 I will now assume that Bill is around his 30's. And that would make Arthur and Molly at least 50 years old if they had Bill when they were 20.

Dumbledore BECAME headmaster just when Remus Lupin, Snape, and the other Marauders came to Hogwarts. Obviously, the Marauders and Snape is younger than Hagrid and the Weasleys. How old are the Marauders and Snape???

Ok... umm... so yeh... this is a lot confusing than I thought. I'll come back when I clear my mind... LOL.

huh?

LOL... I'm confused... I dunno.. I've just been wondering about Molly and Arthur Weasley... How old are they? And surely, they've gone to Hogwarts with Tom Riddle, or NOT?? They're a bit older, that's what I'm assuming.

Yeah by the sounds of it i think they might of weird

youve done that very precisely!

Remus, Sirius, James, Pettigrew and Snape were born in 1960.
So they started at Hogwarts in 1971.
So they left Hogwarts in 1977.
Harry was born in 1980, so James, Lily, Remus, Sirius, Pettigrew and Snape were 20.

I've been wondering about Snape's timeline.
He leaves school in 1977, when he's 17.
Voldemort (shut up, Ron!wink1) faces his downfall when Harry is 1, in 1981.
Dumbledore said that Snape left the dark side before Voldemort's (Ron, stop it!wink1) downfall. Did he join the dark side when he was only 17??? Why did he change his mind?

He joined the dark side when he was 13 😉 😆
well no he was interested in the dark side.
sure he could join at 17 years of age

Yeh.. still, all the same. I've been wondering about Arthur and Molly. They're obviously a lot older than lots of them because Dippet was still the headmaster when they were back at Hogwarts. So I was wondering, did they know Tom Riddle then? And how old are Arthur and Molly? They sound and seem younger than what I expected them to be. I thought for sure they'd be around their 70's if Hagrid is younger than them (because Hagrid wasn't gamekeeper yet that time Molly and Arthur was at Hogwarts)... and are the Weasley couples older than Tom Riddle? Possibly...?

About Snape, well he's been evil since... LOL.

Yeah, the dark side thing I wrote was really "starwars-ish". I can't write as fast as my thoughts come into my mind, so it's hard to express myself. I always forget all the things I want to say. Sorry. starwars

Ok...Kind Of Confusing, Yes.

I've found a mistake about the Weasley's age (possibly?)!!!

Is Bill Weasley older than Charlie Weasley, or not?

Charlie was for sure 25 in the 3rd book (Charlie Weasley was 24 in the 2nd book, because according to POA "it's been 7 seven years since they've won the Quidditch cup, since Charlie Weasley had left school"😉.

Bill's age was never mentioned, but Bill Weasley mentioned in the 4th book that it's been "5 years since [he] was back at Hogwarts (17 yrs. old + 5 years = 22 years old)" (pg. 616 of GOF). Which would make him 22 years old in the 4th book... SO, is he younger than Charlie because Charlie should be 26 when Bill was 22 (ages based on the 'Goblet Of Fire'😉?

But here is what's bothering me; I remember quite well that Ron said Bill is the oldest of them all. Was it a mistake? Anyone want to bother explaining this?

I just wondered...
when do you think that Lucious Malfoy was on Hogwarts?

Maybe he could've been there when the COS had been opened..
he did tell Draco he knew who'd opened it last time, and it was also the time Riddle was at school, and i mean who knows? How old does Lucius look? Cause if he was there when COS had opened, he'd be about 60 😕

But then again, wizards live to be very old sooo

perhaps Bill means its been 5 years since he last visited hogwarts, or since his services where neaded there...
And by the way, I dont think that Arthur and Molly are older than Hagrid... I just think he didnt become gamekeper right away....

i agree with razul, it just said since he was back at hogwarts

well, he always seems to regard hagrid as a contemporary.... so that would link to him being there at the same time as Riddle, but probably in a lower year...
