Lily's Height

[Lilac]

No: HPFGUIDX 51294


I've always had the impression that Lily was short, and I think I got that from this picture, drawn by JKR herself:

http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/lst click on the second folder, called "Harry Potter and Me".  Click on the Mirror of Erised picture.

This probably doesn't count as canon, just like interviews may or may not count as canon, but to me it shows that JKR envisioned Lily as not very tall.  This goes along with Elkin's theory that Harry is more like his mother than his father.  Yeah, he got his dad's hair, but he got his mum's height.  Just thought I'd throw that out there.

~Lilac, who has a few filks in the works, but her muse is on vacation in Majorca or something, so the creative process is taking a lot longer than expected...

"Professor, can you show me that blocking thing again?"

Lockhart cuffed Harry merrily on the shoulder.  "Just do what I did, Harry!"

"What, drop my wand?"
