While touring Hogwarts Castle at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter two weeks ago, Daniel Radcliffe actually
addressed the issue of Harry Potter's height, and how he never got to be quite as tall as his fictional counterpart.
Quote:
"I didn't get particularly worried because as long as Emma [Watson] and Rupert [Grint] weren't shooting up too quickly either, I'd look [fine]. We'd all look relatively [the same height]. It was all going to be OK," Radcliffe added.
Quote:
"I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally," he explained. "But I've now accepted it. Basically, I've came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes."
"When I meet people now and they all say, 'God you're so much shorter than I expected!' I always say, 'No! I'm actually slightly further away than you think,' " he smiled, adding, "Which confuses them."
