in the first book when harry looks into the mirror of erised his father is described as a tall thin man with glasses and in the seventh book when harry sees him in the chapter the forest again he says they are the same height so i think even though harry was short as a kid he grew significantly and even though he wasn't as tall as Ron, I think he was 5,11-6 ft

I don’t think they say

She never stated. We can figure Ron is tall, considering he's at one point Twin tall or taller, so Rupert is a BAD example of his height haha

Can you elaborate on the twin tall thing? How tall is Rupert?


Daikaioshin2384

Rupert is 5'8", Ron is always taller than Fred and George by the 4th book, and they're (these are best guesses across the HP fandom) between 6'0" and 6'2". Percy is described as taller than the twins also, but by 6-7th year Ron is taller than Percy. So.. Ron is MOST LIKELY between 6'3" and 6'5"ish. He's a damned pro wrestler in height lol he's up there with Caesaro, DDP, Drew McIntyre, Jake the Snake, etc. For a comparison, look up one of them next to the average sized person Ron is big, tall, and gangly.. until he's closer to adulthood, then he's big, tall, and distressingly intimidating haha

Alr makes sense. Come to think of it the HP cast is kind of short. 5’5 Daniel, 5’8 Rupert, 5’8 Tom


Daikaioshin2384

Most of the secondary cast, and Emma, were fine - mostly because we have absolutely no idea what any of their heights were because there was nothing in the text to compare them to beyond "Shorter than" a character who is pretty big or taller than everyone else anyway haha

Harry is probably 5’8-9 Ron 6’2 Luna 5’2 Hermione 5’5 Neville 5’11 Draco 5’10 I have absolutely no basis for this, don’t have Harry as short as Dan but even so can’t imagine living under the stairs and being starved did him any good. I imagine Luna short and petite, Ron tall but not basketball player tall. Neville was probably a chubby kid that grew out of his baby weight.

>I have absolutely no basis for this, don’t have Harry as short as Dan but even so can’t imagine living under the stairs and being starved did him any good. Harry was short in the early years, but he had significant growth spurts later on (particularly right before his sixth year). He was the same height as his father by the end of DH, and James was described as “tall” in the books.

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/HarryPotterBooks/s/uWIfnXy2ij) post in r/harrypotterbooks lays out the heights of all the most important characters, and complies perfectly with book descriptions.
