12 years old!

[Aaron McClusky]

hey all
im not at Hogwarts yet but have sent away for sorting, and i was wondering if there was any way Aaron could be 12 just now?
Hermione was 12 when she got her letter for Hogwarts and i was just wondering if that could happen to me too?

 

[Sophia Stark]

Actually, Hermione was eleven when she got her letter. Her birthday is September 19, 1979. Their first year started on September 1, 1991, at which point Hermione was still eleven. She turned twelve eighteen days later.

Oh rite, i thought i read that she was 12 :-?
oh well, can i still be 12 though?

 

[Sophia Stark]

This is a question that should be PMed to an admin. Alicia Barker, Professor Cecily Rambolt, or Professor Nicolas King.

 

[Violet Bellamy]

I'd say no. Violet has been 12 for most of her 1st year, but her birthday is the 4th of September. You could make your birthday the 1st or something, but I suspect not.
But ask the admins though.

 

[Nicolas King]

All first years must be eleven on their first day of school based on how things are set up in the Harry Potter universe and how acceptance letters work.
