The height question...

[Mary Korth]

"Whether or not Harry is shorter than Ron is
irrelevant, as long as Dan remains thin-framed - "

I have to agree.  When we see him in the Mirror of
Erised, James Potter is described as being a "tall,
thin, black haired man."  Seeing how Harry is so much
like his father in every other way, why can't he be
tall, too?  Doesn't it say somewhere in the beginning
of CoS or PoA that Harry has to go to Madam Malkin's
for new robes because his old ones were several inches
too short?  So we know that, once he's out of the
Dursleys house and into a world where he belongs, we
he's growing physically as well as personally.  

Besides, if Daniel hits his growth spurt before
Rupert, who cares?  it's not as if it's anything
either of them can do anything about.  They're still
very talented young actors and I can't imagine anyone
else in their roles.  I'm more than willing to suspend
my disbelief.
