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 books or 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 books also never describe them as being younger, so since JKR sinabi 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 madami 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 petsa of birth - 31 decemer c1926
Hagrid's petsa 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 sinabi wizards don't age as muggles do and Hagrid also has giant blood.

well dumbledore was like 114 or something when he died, so they do live longer than muggles dont they?

Hagrid was in his 3rd taon 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 you 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 mga kabayong may sungay blood and making Horcruxes and all that funny stuff so he probably doesn't age like normal humans or 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), or Dumbledore who died (prematurely) at 115 or 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 ! :

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 or 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????

Hagrids half giant so he probaly doesn't like us and voldemort split he soul

ya i always wondered about that.....

well, I think that you have to see that Hagrid is a half-giant so he could live madami than a normal wizard and Voldemort was inmortal so maybe he was held in a minor age

The books aren't set in this period. In was in the 19??

that is because they can live longer than people god at least try to act smart!

Thats because the Harry Potter books are not set now, they are set when J.K Rowling was a kid.

u r so right! voldemort*snooorttt* hahahahaha!

since voldemort was "revived" he looked healthier then normal hagrid on the other hand is half-giant so that may have some kind of an effect

no they are not but it would take a lot of time to grow that big of a beard or rip your soul into seven

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.

if you have seen the pelikula hagrid is greying and is kind of wrinkly you can't tell how old volde~ oops i mean the dark lord is cause he died and came back with horcruxes but you can tell a little.

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

i think voldemort didnt age because he drank unicorn blood and because hagrid is half a giant.

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.

Ive been wonderin that to!
and sometimes i think
'Huh? how does voldemort have the power to even walk?'
I guess we'll never know :(

Wizards age differently to us "muggles" they can live to a great age so i guess that's why or they just take care of them selfs

Well, Voldemort did lose a lot of hair...
