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.

Isn't it though? There is even a website devoted to celebrity heights, and not just reporting what the celebs have stated as their heights, but with full on debates and evidence to prove a quarter or half inch either way, as though it were some great conspiracy.

Though I confess that most actors are shorter than I would have guessed, I imagine because of shoe lifts and apple boxes and trick photography to make them look better.

Still, it's wonderful for my detail obsessed self.
