trying to get into the swing. I took the obession quiz, and sadly 
enuf, am only 51% obessed, but I feel that I have an unfair 
disadvantage of not being in london. My sister mentioned another 
quiz, how can I get to this one?<<<<<<<<<<<<<
 
You're very welcome, Steph.  Oh...someone posted a link days ago, it 
was for a kid's quiz.  Can anyone help Steph with the URL?  I know I 
took this quiz, got 50%, but I don't have the slightest idea where it 
even is.

> On a different topic, I just finished reading CoS for about the 4th 
time and picked up on something. (big surprise! Something new every 
time! :) I wondered how old Hagrid was. I mean, I always pictured him 
as a younger wizard, but if it was before our time and draco says it 
was 50 years so it was before his fathers time too so if Hagrid was 
in school then he and was at least 13 then, (it was his third or 
second year? can't remember) then how old is he?

I see Rita has already answered this, and I agree with the info she 
gave; though in my mind, HP's world hasn't reached the year 2001 
yet.  I think it's still '95 there until OoP comes out.  So, 
according to me <g>, Hagrid's still 65 (and Voldy's still 68.)  
Steph, if you are interested in dates, years, ages, etc., Steve has a 
fantastic site with a very informative timeline.

I also like the theory that someone put forth that Lucius is a 
contemporary of Molly and Arthur.  This seems very likely to me; 
Lucius' and Arthur's enmity parallels that of James and Severus, and 
Harry and Draco.
