SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the optimal age for discovering magical powers, with participants referencing characters like Harry Potter (11), Sabrina (16), and Jesus (12). Many contributors suggest that ages 10-13 are ideal for magic development, while others argue that maturity is crucial for handling such powers responsibly. The conversation also touches on the idea that magical abilities may be innate and that environmental factors, such as parental influence, play a significant role in their development. Ultimately, the consensus leans towards a blend of age and personal growth as key factors in realizing one's magical potential.

Yes, she was, but related through marriage. Not too many people can claim to be related to the hunchback of Notre Dame, Captain Bligh and the Bride of Frankenstein. :smile:
