I consider real to be what a character would do. But at the same time characters are fluid and can have both good and bad days. I normally consider real for a character like the first year that is my character anything that a normal 11 yr old with the background I gave my character to be able to do. Then I extend upon that knowledge gained by being in the school.

However it is likely easier for me than some as the background I gave my character was very little knowledge previous of the wizarding world. I would expect a notion of real would be harder to portray for those with pure blood characters. But there are some spells I have seen used by age levels I would not have expected them from. Which is fine as the game is set in the future where there may be more at home learning.

However I definitely feel like some of the emphasis on character romantic relationships in the younger years is a bit played out.
