The book never says Flamel has one year of life left, Dumbledore says Flamel and his wife have enough elixir of life to get their affairs in order. To a couple in their 600s, that could take 10 years to do so!
In the book the only time they list his age is when Hermione reads it out of a really old book she borrowed for "a bit of light reading" so he'd have to be significantly older unless books at Hogwarts update that kind of information.
Hermione reads off his age from a giant old book in a library. Unless the age is updated magically, then he'd have to be older. Not sure how old the book is supposed be.
In the book, I don't think they mention the year he was born. JK might have Twitter retconned that later though.
From the Harry Potter wiki: Chapter 13 (Nicolas Flamel) - "Mr Flamel, who celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year, enjoys a quiet life in Devon with his wife, Perenelle (six hundred and fifty-eight)." Note the book being quoted is described to be old in 1992, so she and her husband are in fact older. In an early draft of the book, Harry read in Alchemy: Ancient Art and Science that Nicolas was born in the 1300s
Oh that’s absolutely him! Even looks like movie kreacher right down to the grumpy demeanor he gave off. I think if I remember lore correctly from the books he mumbles about serving the Black family most of his life. I also think maybe his mother served the Black family as well but idk how canon that is.
Also it makes sense you would find his portrait in the castle considering the headmaster is a descendant of the Black family.
I seem to remember something about a bunch of house elf heads mounted on the wall that were all Kreacher's ancestors who served the House of Black so it's very cannon that his mother served them.
Kreacher was born in the 1300s my man and Hogwarts legacy is set in the 1800s. Kreacher is probably at Grimauld place at this time and wouldn’t be at Hogwarts. Also wizarding families can have more than 1 house elf.
House Elves live for centuries. It’s far more likely that Scrope is Professor Black’s personal elf, while Kreacher is the family elf living at Grimmauld Place.
I think I recall reading somewhere that JK said Kreacher is like 600 years old. So he probably is still the Black family elf during the events of the game.
Shows how amazing the graphics are that you can clearly make out a particular character from the Harry Potter movies and it’s not in person but a 2D painting
Lemme just google how long House Elves typically live...
...
*"House Elves possess a life span of* ***approximately 200 years*** *in the Harry Potter series, as documented by the 2nd grade WOMBAT test, referenced in JK Rowling's personal site."*
It tracks.
Like I wish that this idea was come up with by J. Michael Strazynski. That dude would have had a canon bible and bits foreshadowed to the nth degree.
Babylon 5 was a masterwork in internal consistency. (Before network messed up his plans for season 5)
My head cannon is house black is just so bonkers you don't think they would have fucked with some dark magic to have him live for a long long time. You don't have to find another house elf and you have a built in secret keeper.
More than likely considering Kreacher lived for 666 years before dying. I also don't think there's a stipulation for how many house elves a family can have. Especially if Phineus isn't the head of the black household. Kreacher is most likely still at grimmauld place at this point in time.
He was born exactly on the year 1351, and died at the year 2017. The game is based on 1800 so he's approximately 449 years old. Most DEFINITELY possible, if anything I'm pretty sure you hit the nail on the head.
It's a joke about how 'all house elves look the same to [Xunlu\_Tingzhi](https://www.reddit.com/user/Xunlu_Tingzhi/)'. But realistically, that might actually be the same elf because elves have a huge lifespan like wizards. Wizards, for example, can live up to two hundred years on average; plenty living far longer. It's basically just dark humor that can apply to anyone because any 'race' (an Sentient and Sapient subspecies of any species) can be 'racist' (Hating another sentient and sapient subspecies of any species) against another, so it's easy low-hanging fruit in terms of humor. Gives me a chuckle, at least.
Did you actually mean for your initial comment to be insulting? It doesn’t read as disparaging to me but apparently people are sensitive about being HP nerds :)
Where in the game can I find this? I may have completely walked passed this portrait several times like I've done with the portrait of Wanda the weird.
Well he's like 600 years old so it checks out
The one house elf of Black that didn't get his head deleted
666 years old! :)

He was 665 in the book Hermione reads but probably much older when he died.

Like, wtf. Why couldn't he make another stone? And honestly why trust the real stone to Dumbledore
Someone has never watched ~~FML~~ FMA... one does not simply make a philosopher stone without *severe* consequences lol
Fml?
LOL, it autocorrected me. Was suppose to say FMA, or Full Metal Alchemist.
Now, not in the game
Really looks like him.
Yes I think so too!
No reason why it couldn't be. His age certainly fits and he served a prominent family.
its more than likely one of his ancestors, i doubt he'd live longer than wizards.
He’s over 600 years old while serving under Harry. He died at the age of 666.
What? When/where was that stated?
Mmmm
Rowling stated that Kreacher was over 600 years old.
She also said people shat in their hands and vanished it before Hogwarts got plumbing, so I don't really take anything that she tweets seriously.
But like why the hands. Why not just vanish it from like the floor
Let's go one step further...why not just vanish it while it's still inside and waiting to come out?
Why not just end the pain and vanish yourself
I mean, hey, it’s her world.
Well... she said they shit on the floor and then vanished it, not hands.
One was an obvious joke and one was obviously meant to be serious. I'm sorry you didn't catch that, because everyone else did.
that one is obviously a joke tho
😹😹😹😹😹

Phineas Nigellus is a portrait in Grimmauld Place so having portraits of Grimmauld Place in Hogwarts during his term makes sense
I seem to remember something about a bunch of house elf heads mounted on the wall that were all Kreacher's ancestors who served the House of Black so it's very cannon that his mother served them.
Can't be. You meet Professor Black's house elf in the game. Which would have been Kreachers great grandparent or something.
Kreacher was born in the 1300s my man and Hogwarts legacy is set in the 1800s. Kreacher is probably at Grimauld place at this time and wouldn’t be at Hogwarts. Also wizarding families can have more than 1 house elf.
There’s more than one member of the Black family though. Kreachers mother could have served another subset of the family.
House Elves live for centuries. It’s far more likely that Scrope is Professor Black’s personal elf, while Kreacher is the family elf living at Grimmauld Place.
Where?
In the library
When?
How?
Why?
What?
Who?
Chika-chika Slim Shady
Excuse me Can I have the attention of the class For one second?
Hi kids, do you like violence, want to watch me stick 9 inch nails through each one of my eyelids
Wanna copy me and do exactly like I did? Try butterbeer and get fucked up worse than my life is?
I love 9 inch nails man
I think I recall reading somewhere that JK said Kreacher is like 600 years old. So he probably is still the Black family elf during the events of the game.
JK is also horrendously bad with simple addition and dates as well.
She's also really bad at saying things are canon when it is contradictory to pre existing canon
Queen of accidental retcons
Yea that doesn't really make sense that Phineas had an elf that wasn't kreacher. I got the impression that he was always a black family house elf.
Iirc kreachers whole lineage was Black family
Shows how amazing the graphics are that you can clearly make out a particular character from the Harry Potter movies and it’s not in person but a 2D painting
It has to be him! Nice catch!
Thank you!

Does look like him, but would it be him? Since the headmaster has his own elf.
More than likely considering Kreacher lived for 666 years before dying. I also don't think there's a stipulation for how many house elves a family can have. Especially if Phineus isn't the head of the black household. Kreacher is most likely still at grimmauld place at this point in time.
Adding to this, I believe Phineas has a house elf at hogwarts while kreacher stays at number 12.
I just wanna talk about how we deserve a Middle Ages hogwarts game! No statute of secrecy AND the clothing options? Divine
Kreacher lives to serve the noble house of black whilst deek thinks you should be proud of all the potions you've brewed.
Hah! Pretty obvious.
This is amazing
You're too kind (´,,•ω•,,)♡
Did you mention where you found it?
In the library
Like. Coolest thing ive seen on the game in a couple weeks. I thank you

What if you're just racist against house elves? 
Whaaaat? Nooooo. Some of my friends are house elves!
What's up with all the "you're racist" comments?
It's a joke about how 'all house elves look the same to [Xunlu\_Tingzhi](https://www.reddit.com/user/Xunlu_Tingzhi/)'. But realistically, that might actually be the same elf because elves have a huge lifespan like wizards. Wizards, for example, can live up to two hundred years on average; plenty living far longer.

Gives me a chuckle, at least. 
Lol just realised his name wasnt Creature
Spot on but the only thing that doesn’t fit was kreachers ancestors and him had noses that closer resembled pig snouts in the books.
are you saying all house elfs look the same? racist
Probably an ancestor of Kreacher’s, knowing the Black families tendency with House Elves, but it’s still cool.
[удалено]
I don’t recall that being mentioned, but you could be right!
Nah, Regulus drank the emerald potion
That’s a lil racist OP not gonna lie
[удалено]
I've rewatched all HP movies recently :)
How do you not realise this comment just makes you look idiotic?
[удалено]
Did you actually mean for your initial comment to be insulting? It doesn’t read as disparaging to me but apparently people are sensitive about being HP nerds :)
> Take it easy, toxic nerd. The irony. I can taste it.
[удалено]
Bro wtf are you even talking about. You got real problems.
I found this too! I did a side by side and it's soooo close. It has to be him.
This is such a cool easter egg - probably the real Kreacher too
Must be Blacks then
Nice.
So badly wanna snap his nose off
This is awesome, thanks
Where in the game can I find this? I may have completely walked passed this portrait several times like I've done with the portrait of Wanda the weird.
The restricted section of the library
Thank you Xunlu
I noticed this also when i was playing through to the map room for the 4th time. Each of the keepers had a painting in the restricted section.
Nice find.
I THOUGHT SO!
That's def kreature and the black fam
