Well, he is a frost giant...

When I was writing my Molly/Alec fic, I was trying to figure out what their height difference would look like. Turns out, Daniel Radcliffe has my back. Dan is 1-2 inches taller than Loo Brealey, but probably about the same as Molly in her shoes.

There is also a useful height comparison tool, where you can enter the height of yourself (or one character) and choose a celebrity (one that matches the height of your other character) and it will do a rough comparison of height.

Now you know.

I had the reverse with Freeman and Cumberbatch. I assumed Martin was a good 5'10 or 11 and so
Cumberbatch had to be 6'2 or more to be taller than him. Turns out Martin is 5'7 and Ben is 6'0, which is still tall, but not scary tall.
