Corrected entry: At first in the movie, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all think Lucius Malfoy opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years earlier. They all saw him in the bookshop, you think they could tell that he wasn't about 65 years old.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002)
Correction: Wizards show their age at a much slower rate than normal. It is entirely possible that Lucius Malfoy is much older than 65, and all three characters would have known this.
Correction: They don't find out the Chamber of Secrets was opened 50 years ago until Harry reads the diary, and they don't suspect Lucius after that.
