In PoA Wood said, if I remember correctly, that they hadn't won the 
Quidditch-Cup for eight years. And because they hadn't won since 
Charlie left, Charlie must have left eight years before PoA. PoA 
played in 1993/94. That means Charlie came to Hogwarts 1987. He came 
with eleven, that makes his birth year 1966. I lent the book to my 
aunt, so I can't look right now, and I suppose I had a mistake 
somewhere in this. Maybe Wood said that they hadn't won the cup for 7 
years, that would make Charlie's birth year 1967. But I know it was 
something like this.
