On this picture he seems shorter than Cattermole :-). They all don't look like I imagined them, but their appearance is not that important, IMO :-): <snip links>

Hm. A witch and two wizards who actually know how to dress like Muggles. I hope they have Ministry robes somewhere even though the men don't even have briefcases and the woman's purse is rather small--otherwise, HRH will have to strip them (and dress like Muggles at the Ministry!). I realize that it isn't very realistic to have them dress in robes in the book with no more Apparition or Floo travel (except for the higher-ups) into the Ministry, but, still, I wish the films wouldn't change so much! they don't even look magical! 

They don't look like I imagined them, either, but I guess they didn't want to get a big tall guy for Runcorn. It might make Harry's transformation awkward as it did in the book--hard to hide his big feet under the Invisibility Cloak, etc.

Carol, who doesn't want the wizards to look like Muggles with wands
