10 Oldest Characters In The Harry Potter Universe
8. Bathilda Bagshot
Age: 124+ (now deceased)
Author of popular novel A History Of Magic, Bathilda Bagshot lived a long, fruitful life at her home in Godric's Hollow, where she was neighbours with both the Dumbledore family and the Potter family at various points in time.
It's unknown exactly when she was born or exactly when she died, but we do know that, in 1890, she was already an adult living in Godric's Hollow. So, that would make her a minimum of 17 years old, placing her date of birth in 1873 at the latest.
Bathilda apparently went senile in her later years, retreating from society and rarely being seen by anyone. That changed when Harry and Hermione came to visit in December 1997, only to discover that the old lady was already dead, and had been turned into a puppet for Voldemort's snake, Nagini.
