Is it stated in any of the books how old Charlie and Tonks are? I don't remember if it did and i was wondering if anyone knew. I'm writing a fanfic and I wanted to make it as acurate as possible as far as ages and stuff like that.

We know that Tonks is a rookie Auror, so she's probably in her 20s as Phoenix said. Charlie might also be in his twenties. I'm not too sure.

Charlie is born December 12th in 1972 and Tonks is born 1973.
So now in year 2006 they're 34 and 33 years old.

tonks would be about 23 or 24 seeing as she was born in 1973...

but in our time she'd be 33 or 34...but seeing as its about 1996 or 97 i HP time...she'd be in her early 20's

Charlie is two years older than Percy, and Bill is 2 years older than Charlie. I think Charlie's seventh year at Hogwarts was the year before Harry came to Hogwarts, because in the GOF Charlie comments on how he hasn't been to Hogwarts in 4 years.

You can't go by years alone. If we did, Harry would be about 23 now. Plus, those things can be inaccurate. I saw one profile on Sirius Black that said he died in 1996!

If Harry is 17, Ron is 17. Ron is two years younger than Fred and George, who are 19. F & G are two years younger than Percy, who is 21. Percy is three years younger than Charlie, who is 24

It's quite easy to figure out.
In book 2, Nearly Headless Nick celebrates his 500th death day party since his execution in 1492. So, just do simple math.
