Everyone ages regularly in harry potter. There some that end up living for a fairly long time. If I am not mistaken Dumbledor was into his hundreds. This is true with a lot of older witches and wizards. Nicolas Flamell lived well past that, but he has the philosophers stone to allow that. Other than that I can not think of anyone who doesn't age appropriately, at least the ones that were human.

Actually, only ONE person lived for centuries in the Harry Potter series. Everyone else aged regularly. Nicolas Flamel is the only wizard that had lived for centuies on end (Almost 700 years!) and that is because he was the inventor of the Sorceror's, or Philosopher's Stone, a highly magical (and highly fictional) substance that turns any metal into purest gold, as well as making someone immortal if drunk in a potion.

Dumbledore was only a hundred and change. Wizards and Witches as a rule live longer than muggles (if allowed to die of natural causes, of course). Like the others said, the only one mentioned as centuries old is Nicolas Flamel. The others (Dumbledore, Aunt Muriel, Bathilda Bagshot) are old, and look old, don't you agree?

I'm not sure what you mean, because everyone ages normally. with the exclusion of Nicolas Flamel but he had something that helped him (the Sorcerer's/Philosipher's Stone) Many wizards were older but even humans in our world can live to 100. Lots of people have.

They never really go into aging so much. But Dr. Flamell had the elixer potion to last forever. And besides they have all their potions and stuff. There medicine would be way ahead of ours. It wasnt like Dumbledore was 300 years or something.

I think the only wizard you are thinking about that doesn't age normally is Nicolas Flamel from the philosophers stone. The stone keeps him alive, until he decides to abandon it and lay to rest.
Only in the Philosophers Stone, and Deathly Hallows, I think is Flamel mentioned...

I think they all age regularly...but great wizards like Dumbledore, may have created a spell for himself to live longer. He was fairly old. No one else was quite that old

Everyone aged normally, unless you're talking about Nicholas Flammel, who was around 600 years old in the first book. But he had the Sorcerer's Stone which made him immortal, for the most part.

I suppose we could assume that those older wizards stop aging due to their extreme magical skills. :)
Also, they may be in possession of a magical object which prolongs their lives, like Dumbledore's old friend Nicolas Flamel and his Sorcerer's Stone.
I hope that helps! :)

They all age regularly, they just have a longer lifespan than what we're used to in the muggle world.
