Discussion: Aging in the Wizarding World

[hpgoldenage_mod]

Time for our first discussion post. :)

What does canon tell us about aging in the wizarding world and what is your own head canon on the topic? Feel free to cite canon examples as well as reference fanworks, perhaps a favorite fic that matches your head canon or made you see aging in a whole new way.

Well, right, exactly. It's what the average Muggle would have. My husband has dark brown hair and I remember when I could count the grey hairs. LOL But Harry's a wizard who "has a longer life expectancy than Muggles". That's why I am side-eyeing it, not because I don't think he'd be dead sexy. ;)

Ah, yeah, I suppose what I was trying to say is that I think "a few" grey hairs at 34 *is* ageing later than usual!

But, yes, sexy. *happy grin* I don't know why I always imagine Harry being an absolute knockout as he gets older. I can imagine that more easily than when he's young, tbh.

Well, quite honestly I just think a 30-45 year old man is a totally different kind of sexy and that interests me far more than 18 year old boys. LOL

*uses 17-year-old in icon just to be difficult*
