When I go through my spurts of trying to post everyday these are the kind of things which come out:

So can anyone bare me out on my suspicion that 21 would still, in general, have been too young for a man in the Victorian Era to have been a practicing lawyer with a four year old son? I've always had the impression of the Era that women tended to marry younger than they do now and men were around the same if not older than today.

This random-ish question is coming from the fact that I watched The Woman in Black over the weekend and while I very much enjoyed it -- particularly for the whole horror-ish movie genre, I couldn't shake the feeling through the entirety of the movie that Daniel Radcliff was really too young for the part.

Also, possibly equally as random, would doing a set of icons of HP actors in period clothing be more or less weird than doing a set of actors and characters who are fellow capricorns? I don't know why I feel the need to have themes -- it is apparently just the way my brain works -- but there you go.

That would be my impression too? I feel like I should know this but history was never my strong point. But thinking generally, women did marry younger than they do today, but the (upper class) men had to get all of their travelling, their experience and their education in first... Would have thought that 21 was about the time when a man would be starting to look for a wife, perhaps?

I think that Daniel Radcliff is too young for that part as well.

A set of icons of HP characters in period clothing has a more obvious link to them than Capricorns, not to say that one theme is more/less valid than the other.

I felt the same way. I don't know much about Victorian occupation patterns, though.

Also, this impression is probably exacerbated by the fact that DanRad looks extremely young.

I tried to see woman in black when it was in the theater and there were so many obnoxious high schoolers in the theater that we just walked out :x
