Incorrect. Dumbledore was born in 1881 Dark Knight Send a noteboard - 10/08/2010 02:47:17 PM
the guy that Dumbledore defeated around the same year that Hitler died. He's mentioned on the chocolate frog card in book 1. Voldemort was born around 1935 I believe. (IIRC Voldemort was around 60 years old in the mid 90s/book 4).


There's one thing I never thought of before though. Dumbledore was born around 1840. Why did it take Grindewald 80 years from 1860 to come into power? It *felt* like while reading it that he started coming into power soon after he left Dumbledore. I'll have to read again to find out why it seemed that way to me.


According to Jk Rowling herself. Check out the wizard of the month section on her website
Formerly Mat Bloody Cauthon on Wotmania, blessed be its name

Yeah, there's something that doesn't seem right there, alright. Legolas - 10/08/2010 02:24:37 PM 412 Views
do you know why you thought he was 150? Deadsy - 10/08/2010 02:53:01 PM 432 Views
Dumbledore's age was never mentioned in the book. And Harry was joking in the movie *NM* Dark Knight - 10/08/2010 03:01:12 PM 256 Views
but I'm asking Legolas because he thought the same thing, and I don't think I thought it from HBP Deadsy - 10/08/2010 03:03:13 PM 365 Views
Ah got it. Btw I remember her saying he was 150 many years ago in an interview *NM* Dark Knight - 10/08/2010 03:10:29 PM 157 Views
maybe I did read it and then just forgot about it and it stuck in my brain as being from the books *NM* Deadsy - 10/08/2010 03:17:23 PM 170 Views
