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.

How fortuitous! Hiddleston is really tall, but you can't always tell with some of the people he shares the screen with in Avengers.

I went through years of my life thinking that Patrick Stewart was a little short when he's actually 5'10 because Jonathan Frakes is six foot four (and his hair probably added an inch).

A Height Comparison Tool? Wow! You know even more about your characters than I realised! :)

Oh and thanks again for the link to the Molly icons which I immediately made use of.

Man the internet is chock full of useful things.

This reminds me of an article that talked about James McAvoy and Dan Radcliffe getting cast in the new Frankenstein and how the article's author speculated it was due their similarly less than tall heights.
