First off, I love the idea of this thread. It's amazing. Yes. <3

So I have more thoughts on this (I tend to ramble a lot too) but not the time to write them down right now so all I have is this:

Yes, I agree with whoever said that it's hard to go back to remembering what we were all like at the age of 11/12. I think it's even more than that for me personally because when I went to school I went there for an average of like 8 hours a day, then went home to my parents. Our charries don't have that. They're at a new place 24/7 for almost 4 months until they get to see their parents/family again (for Christmas break). Yes, they have friends at school maybe, they have a new "family" at Hogwarts but obviously this is not the same.

I feel like this is somewhat important too. They're separated from their parents at the age of 11/12 so this could go either way. They might be more insecure/childish/whatever than we were. Or they could be 'forced' to grow up even faster, being more mature than we were at that age. I don't know. Of course this could have no impact whatsoever on their maturity/behavior but personally, I feel like this is also an additional difficulty for me when RPing. Because I don't know what that's like.




....and now I'm officially scared about playing my charrie after Olly. xD
