We all want to know... how old ARE Hiccup and the others exactly?
In the chapter book and I Can Read! books they are clearly called teenagers and Gobber calls them teens a couple times in the movie.
Judging by how they look they seem older than 13, but definitely not 18. The way they act makes me think they are between 14 and 16. Maybe 15 is a good guess given it is in the middle.
Your thoughts?

Here's what I think.
Hiccup, Astrid, Fishlegs: 15 Snotlout(rite?): 16 Ruff & Tuff: 17

I read some article somewhere that Hiccup was seventeen. Forget what article it was, though...

Them being in their mid-teens makes sense. Seems to be an appropriate age to learn the fine art of Not Being Eaten By A Dragon. XD
Oddly, I do not see Hiccup as the youngest. I figure he's probably been getting into mischief for quite some time. So that article seems fairly spot on, mayhap?

I always thought Snotlout would be either be the youngest or eldest, Astrid and Hiccup being the same age somewhere in the middle. I thought they were 15 or 16 the entire time.
Hiccup looks a TAD young for 17 or 18 though, that's why I was guessing a bit lower. I'll stick with 16 for me.
But apparently... if you look CLOSE enough in the last bit... HE HAS CHIN FUZZ. XD

LAWL!!!! CHIN FUZZ!!!!!! ... Chin fuzz!!!!
I got the impression that they were all about 15-16... Just they all seem like that they've all known each other for a long time, y'know? Almost like they've been taught together before (basic knowledge), or perhaps they played together as children, hmmm... Anyway, that's why I think they are about the same age, give or take a year's difference.

I'd say they're all 14-16... Simply because their voices sound around those ages. They're obviously all in the process of hitting puberty, as well. XD

Well...I'm inclined to say mid-teens...fifteen at the youngest, seventeen at the oldest. Because in the males' cases (especially Hiccups), it sounds like their voices have already changed, so they can't be THAT young, and Astrid already has...erm...nice assets. ^^; Yet they're clearly not full-grown, and if they're just starting in dragon-training...Erm...
I'm gonna play it safe and say about 16. =/

Here's what I think.
Fishlegs: 15 Hiccup, Astrid: 16 Snotlout, Ruff and Tuff: 17
Fishlegs just seems like the youngest to me even though he's the biggest. Snotlout is a little too forward with his come-ons which is why I made him older and more into the sexsexsexsex on the brain mindset, I was almost tempted to make him the oldest at 18 but lowered it because I find one of them being 18 unlikely.

This thread is making me feel awkward for having a crush on Hiccup. I'm thinking 17ish for them all, except Astrid (she seems more like 16 to me) and maybe Fishlegs (no idea here for his age ^^ .

*pats angel624* Don't feel awkward, we all seem to have minor crushes on people we shouldn't have crushes on. XD
After seeing the movie again today, I hold true to my estimate of 16 now. Just after puberty, but not quite done with it yet for Hiccup. I also think Fish is 15, the twins 16, and Snotlout 17. Maybe for Snotlout, that's a BIG maybe.

I'm also in the boat of thinking 14-16, mostly because most of their voices sound in puberty, and Hiccup's voice cracks a lot. And at certain angles he looks a bit younger, so I always assumed he was at that scrawny age. For some reason I thought Astrid was a year older than him, since she's taller, which I know isn't fair since girls hit their growth spurt first, but still.
I find it hard to believe they're close to 17 simply because none of the kids look or sound it, but I guess in comparison to the gruff and muscular adults they just seem younger.

Mokyn, I didn't compare them to the other Vikings, I compared them to the voices of adults I know and how my friends sounded as (young) teenagers.

First time seeing the movie, I just guessed they were all young-ish, like 14, but then I started to notice how freakin' tall they are! You can't compare them to each other, but if you compare them to the background and the such, they are freakin' tall. Therefore I'd say Hiccup and Astrid at 16, Fishlegs, 'bout 15, the twins 16 borderline of 17, and Snotlout at 17. I dunno, just random thoughts. :/

I read some article somewhere that Hiccup was seventeen. Forget what article it was, though... I'm latching onto this statement. Mostly because I think it'd be damn hot if Hiccup was already 17 (which I find quite believable actually). Wish I could find that article though.
