Full Version: How Tall Do You Think Characters Are?

Do we know how tall any of the characters are? JK Rowling throws around the word "tall" an awful lot when describing characters, but to my knowledge no one's exact height is set in stone. So exactly how tall do you vision certain characters stand (at their peak height)? Here are some of my estimations, feel free to add more characters.

Harry Potter: 6'0"/1.84 m
Draco Malfoy: 6'1"/1.86 m
Albus Dumbledore: 6'6"/1.99 m
Ron Weasley: 6'4"/1.93 m
Tom Riddle: 6'2"/1.88 m
Rubeus Hagrid: 9'0"/2.75 m
Severus Snape: 5'8"/1.73 m
Sirius Black: 6'3"/1.91 m
Remus Lupin: 5'10"/1.78 m

I thought Harry was like 5'11 but in the book it says that he was 6'0. It also say somewhere that bellatrix was taller than him. weird.

Really? This is how tall I always thought the characters were. (by the end of the seventh book, that is)

Harry - 5'9"
Ron - 6'3"
Hermione - 5'6"
Dumbledore - 6'5"
Sirius - 6'2"
Lupin - 5'10
Peter - 5'5"
James - 5'10"
Snape - 5'8"
Draco - 5'11"
Hagrid - 10'
Tom Riddle - 6'2"
Arthur Weasley - 6'3"
Fred/George - 5'11"
Ginny - 5'7"

Harry's height is particularly confusing because in the books it always refers to him as "small and skinny for his age" so I would be led to believe that he would be like 5'8". But then Rowling describes James as tall, like above 6' or so, and in the seventh book it says that Harry is the same height as his dad, so I dunno...

Ron - 6 4
Hermione - 5 7
Fred/George - 5 9 Way too tall in the movies.
Dumbledore - 6 2
Snape - 6 3 Tough one. I always pictured him towering over everyone

Bellatrix - 6 2
Voldemort - 6 6

This is a very intersting thread smile.gif

Harry: 5'10 (1.77 m) - I think he is smaller than 5'11 because of a statement he made when he transformed in Runcorn.

Hermione: 5'5 (1.65 m) - Just like Emma Watson smile.gif

Albus Dumbledore: 6'2 (1.88 m) - I think he is smaller than Riddle

All I know is that Ron is taller than Harry and Hermione. Remember he was the first one to get to the Lovegood door because he was so tall and he had to be the one giving Harry a boost when trying to reach the cup.
dchristen03
Yes, I agree with AryaForce. Ron's pretty tall, and Rupert fits him very well. He's so fit wub.gif ...Sorry. But anyway, I think Harry in DH would be about 5'6, Hermione 5'6, Ron 5'9.
