DB2244-as you were overly late I had asked a question which was correctly answered by Serenoli. Would you please delete your question and if he answers with a question within 48 hrs. fine, if not you can repost.

Spock, I'm a girl!!! Isn't my name pretty obviuos that way?

Hmmm... about questions:

Approximately how old is Hagrid?

I'm not very sure about this myself, but count from the end of Book six please.

hmmm, not to a Vulcan-ninja

Could be a talking pasta or a house in Stromboli

I'll make a note.

I, for one, don't know italian, except for a few phrases and have no idea what Spock's saying.

And Wizard from Milan (another Italian, perhaps?):You're pretty close, but could you be a bit more exact? I know I said approxiamtely, but that was before I worked it out, and found you can get an exact figure. Tom Riddle is now 70. How old is Hagrid then?

I speak one language very well, one language moderately well, two languages almost not at all. On the other hand, my spouse speaks five; so I cheat.

Well Hagrid was 62 when HP came to H, so he should be 67 by the latest book.

I got 67- he was thirteen when expelled, exactly 50 years later it was the 2nd year for Harry, and then 4 more years. So, Spock got the right answer.

BTW, I speak two languages well, and another language I understand, but am not fluent in. I'm a bit jealous of Spock, and even more so of his wife! And what does il mio sposo è italiano e spagnolo mean?
