How do you figure?

I see wizard as a sort of halfway stage between normal human and not human anymore. There was a woj that Charity ages normal but would not have done so if she had not stopped using her magic. Magic slows aging, more magic slows it even more until you get so much magic that your nature get fixed. Something like that.

Dina:
I don't think Maggie was 40 but much more and I agree with Mira, fertility for wizards is longer than for normal humans.

Griffyn612:
We know Eb's wife died in/around 1810, per the timeline.  Assuming that was Margaret's mom, then she was born no later than then.

That means she was at least 165 in 1975 when Harry is presumed to have been born, give or take a year. 

By comparison, Donald Morgan was born in the fairly late 1800s. In SF he's described as being "about fifty years old". Luccio was born in 1800, 10 years earlier than the late Margaret age, and in DB she's described as a solid old matriarch. She would have been 205.

What does all that mean? Who knows, probably nothing. But if Harry is as powerful as his mother, and she aged better than her peers, then Harry should probably slow down on his aging now that he's around 40.

The_Sibelis:
Didn't harry mention his aging slowing down soon to the body he'd have for most of his life? In either PT or BG, I just got BG as an actual book,(I despise audio books for usage as a reference..)so hopefully I'll be able to pin point where things are better soon..
