Closer to 5'7"? Oh God. You enjoy this, don't you? Talk about laughable! I mean, in less than a year he's grown almost two inches at age 18? I think it's safe to say it... Dan is 5'5" during the day and closer to 5'4" at night. He obviously loses height at night. Recent night events have really started to show how much shorter he is than he claims. But I do think 5'5" during the day is probably accurate. (And mainly because Emma seems pretty much 5'5" herself...)
Maya says on 2/Jul/08
Anon I posted some very recent photos of Dan and Richard Griffiths on 17 June. Dan looks no more than 5'4" "tall" there. He hasn't grown.
i luv short guys says on 2/Jul/08
Dan looks great at 5'5" which is supposedly his height.Though,I have a strong feeling he can't b taller than 5'4"...& mind u,my gut feelings r ALWAYS CORRECT.
Anon says on 1/Jul/08
Has anyone got ANY new photos? You can see some of Dan from the Tonys (at which he, clearly, looked taller than 5'5"), but I have seen nothing of Rupert or Emma.....?
Anon says on 29/Jun/08
This is no joke actually, have you seen recent photos of him? He attended the Tonys and was taller than an interviewer, something I've rarely seen and he just looks different. His voice is deeper as well, I dunno, he's had a late spurt or something, but I'm banking on a strong 5'6" at the least. He's pushing 5'7" no doubt.
Robbie H says on 28/Jun/08
He look the same height as julie walters, maybe smidge taller- i thinks hes probs closer to 5'4
umad80 says on 28/Jun/08
A strong 5'6". lol Oh Anna, and you even were the one to bring up the video of him saying he's 5'5" and he's said it several times after that. More like 5'4" in the evening and 5'5" during the day. And the reason people call Dan short is because, well, he is. Why deny it? For a guy, he is short. Is it bad? No, there are plenty of actors who are his height or around his height. Michael J. Fox, Seth Green, etc. And even these guys will admit they're short. I mean, 5'5" is the average height for a girl. A guys average height is much taller. I don't think anyone is being rude with stating the obvious - one that Dan even agrees on.
Anonymous says on 26/Jun/08
Alice, being short is not bad at all (being short myself, thought not as extremely as you, I'm 5'3") and, as you said, Dan is not "so short" at all. At the very least, he is 5'5" (in the evening) and, in my opinion, he looks a strong 5'6" and some as of late. Does anyone know why we are hearing nothing about the HBP film?
Alice says on 25/Jun/08
why are people say "omg he's so short" im here to say that you guys no nothing about short. I'm a girl and im (sort of) proud to say im 18 years old with a height of 4'11". now thats stressing. especially since i have a face of a 12 year old. if Dan is 5'5" its not so bad my dad is the same height.
MJlover says on 19/Jun/08
Aimie: ''He wouldn't be as adorable if he was 6 feet tall.'' -Right!
umad80 says on 17/Jun/08
I'm still convinced that Dan shrinks at night. I've just noticed that every night event he goes to he looks 5'4" but during the day he always looks taller. Not much, but definitely closer to the 5'5" he claims. Although that is if Richard Griffiths is not 5'9"... he could have measured himself at 5'9" with that particular posture and we wouldn't exactly know it. lol
Anonymous says on 17/Jun/08
I think Daniel is about 5-5, emma the same as Dan and Rupert about 5-6 to 5-7.
What's with these ridiculous rumours about Rupert being 5-9 or 5-10??? LOL
Maya says on 17/Jun/08
Here are some new photos of Dan and Richard Griffiths (Uncle Vernon in HP): Click Here

Dan looks really really short there, about 5'4" max, since Richard Griffiths is only 5'9" and has a rather poor posture due to his obesity.

hey even Sharapova is only 6'2, 6'6 is way over

well to me dan is around 5'4 no more than that. i met him the other days and hes shorter than me 2 inches. im 5'6.
Leon says on 2/Jun/08
I don't like how Lauren's taking the piss out of Daniel's height. I think I'd rather be three inches below average height for a guy than FOURTEEN inches above average height as a girl.
Aimie says on 30/May/08
He probably is 5'5 tall without shoes. He wouldn't be as adorable if he was 6 feet tall.
Marty J says on 28/May/08
Re Mischa: My first proper girlfriend was taller than me and nobody seemed to care. I've had a lot of subsequent girlfriends who were taller than me and it was actually them who were hung up about it. I'm pretty sure a millionaire like Mr. Radcliffe won't have much of a problem.
xxx says on 27/May/08
i tthink he's really really short. he has the same height as me!
Jules says on 24/May/08
Is it just me or did he look rather tiny in Order of the Phoenix? o.0 When he was standing beside Dudley, he looked extremely short, unlike in Goblet of Fire he seemed around everyone in his year's height.
umad80 says on 23/May/08
I was thinking that he's probably pretty close to 5'5" during the day and closer to 5'4" at night. Every time I see him at an event at night, he seems so much shorter than during the day.
Anonymous says on 22/May/08
I think he's 5'5 at most or maybe 5'5.5 but that's the maximum possible. In Harry Potter 5, he didn't look taller than 5'4 to me. It was quite obvious in the scene when he's alone with Neville, talking about Neville's parents. He was like a full head shorter than Neville and Neville was 6'0 at most.He was shorter than almost everybody. Maybe he has grown up a little bit since then. So 5'5 may be right for him. Let's say 166 cm in the morning and 164 cm at night. But then,maybe I'm generous.
umad80 says on 22/May/08
I don't think anyone was saying it was wrong (or right for that matter), just that in our society it is more visually appealing to see a tall man with a short woman. I don't think anyone is "against" either way. Just that they are being truthful about a fact of life. I mean, hell, how often do you see redheads in leading roles? Not often, if at all, and I think that sucks, but it's the way that it is... So Dan will have to fight because of his height. Rupert will have to fight because of his red hair. And Emma will actually have to fight to get decent roles because of her beauty. I mean, let's face it, Hollywood would be willing to cast her in roles for looks rather than anything else giving her terrible movie choices... So everyone has their crosses to bare, so no need to get all "society this!" and "society that!" It sucks, but it's life.
Mischa says on 21/May/08
Who is to say it looks wrong for a tall female to be with a shorter male? Do people think it's "visually appealing" to see a tall man and shorter woman because society has not yet accepted the fact that males do not dominate anymore? Society has these set images that no longer apply to modern day, yet there are those who still hold it back, that the male is viewed as the dominate and the female is just this little fragile thing that shouldn't be stronger or taller than her man. When will people learn that "visually appealing" is just saying that all we should care about is the appearance, nothing more?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a tall woman and shorter man being a couple.
Lauren says on 20/May/08
I was kind of exaggerating when i said that. Haha.

I'm just saying, if i was a celebrity THAT short and had a relationship with someone at least 5 inches over my head, i would expect the tabloids to somewhat mock me.

But, hey, maybe i'm wrong.
Anonymous says on 19/May/08
hahaha, true TJ. He's really not that short, I would even say 3 inches below average, but I dunno.
umad80 says on 19/May/08
I was going to say, Dan isn't my favorite but I would seriously doubt he'll have a lackluster career in Hollywood due to height. I'm not sure he'll achieve great status due to height, and certainly not what he has with Harry Potter, but I doubt he'll be hindered that much. I think he'll be doing what he's doing now... the lead where he plays complex characters with possible romantic connections.
TJ says on 18/May/08
Laughing stock of Hollywood Lauren? I think you're rather overstating that. He is short yes, but many stars in the past have been who have done ok with romantic roles. Michael J Fox is shorter and was never a laughing stock. It's true to say that he'll probably not be paired with a taller woman, but there are lots of female actors in the 5ft to 5'4 range, some of whom are very big stars. Incidentally, while laughing at Radcliffe, take a moment to think that you're 14 inches taller than the average female height and he's 4-5 inches below average. Think it's clear which of you has the most unusual height.
Anonymous says on 18/May/08
Lauren, how?
Lauren says on 14/May/08
Hahahaha. I'm a 6'6" girl. I've met him before. His head is, like, right up to my breasts. It's soooo funny! My extremlely long legs are soooooooo different from Radcliffe's little ones.

You can see the same thing in pics with his girlfriend. She's, like, two inches taller than him. The guy's a little munchkin compared to a amazon like me.

I don't see him hooking up with Maria Sharapova or ANY tall girl soon. They'd, like, tower over him. He'd be the laughing stock of Hollywood.

rob how much chance is there that Dan is over 5ft 6in

[Editor Rob: about as much chance as me wearing a glasgow rangers top.]


Hiya Rob, as you might know Manchester has been invaded by 100000 Rangers fans wearing the said tops and royal blue tartan kilts - but they don't carry placards saying "Dan Radcliffe is 5'6" either! :D
umad80 says on 5/May/08
Yeah, that's why he looked like a munchkin next to Daniel Day Lewis. Yes, certainly looking taller.

Give it up, Anna. Dan is not getting taller. And Emma is nowhere near 5'7" or even 5'6".
Anonymous says on 2/May/08
*short guys are adorable.....anyway, I'm telling you, Dan is looking taller lately. Check out shots from behind the scenes HBP filming, you will see what I mean.

MAYURAKSHI(BDMI) says on 1/May/08
I AGREE WITH YOU TOTALLY,UMAD80.IT IS VISUALLY APEALING TO SEE A TALLER GUY WITH A SHORTER GIRL AND SINCE DANIEL IS SHORT, WE CAN EXPECT TO SEE HIM WITHOUT AN ACTRESS IN FILMS FOREVER
umad80 says on 29/Apr/08
Actually, it's visually appealing to see a taller guy with a shorter girl. There are disadvantages for sure. But that's why they have apple boxes. But the people mentioned, along with the likes of Seth Green, rarely get leading men roles. It's a tough business and being a certain height helps tremendously.

Any ways, recent photos prove that Dan is not above 5'5", especially at night. And Dan obviously has people telling him what to say or is suffering from sort of short term memory loss because ever since the Order of the Phoenix photocall, he's been adamant that he's only 5'5". And Dan is not taller than Tom Cruise. Cruise is around 5'8" according to Rob, and there is no way Dan is near that mark. lol I'm sure this Newton fellow was joking because everyone wants to say Cruise is short, but he really is the height that most directors want for their leading men roles. Though right camera angle, shoes, etc. can make anyone look taller.
Anonymous says on 28/Apr/08
Dude, John, I totally agree, I think cute guys are adorable; however, being 5'2" is a slight advantage when it comes to my liking compared to other girls. Anyway, Dan really is not that short and, honestly, if he can act, he will definitely make it in show business. Also, as Terry points out, Ross says that Radcliffe is really not that short compared to some people and Newton even says Daniel is taller than Tom Cruise. I think Dan has got taller, look at recent photos.
JohnDoe says on 28/Apr/08
Sophie you sound like an idiot, if Micheal J Fox and Danny Devito can act then so can Daniel Radcliffe,there is nothing wrong with being short,i don't understand why people don't focus more on the advantages of it,especially girls, yas don't have to break your neck kissing a guy closer to your height ya know,but hey if you wanna break your neck go right ahead.
terry says on 27/Apr/08
in an interview with Jonathan Ross he claims 5ft 6,...also Ross reassures him that he's not small, by asking another guest who claims he could be taller than Tom Cruise..
umad80 says on 21/Apr/08
I think Dan tends to get smaller at night. I've noticed that during the day, it's not so crazy to think a legit 5'5" (or there abouts) is hard to swallow. But the last few night events he's attended, he does seem more 5'4".

Anna, what are you talking about?

Mass, there is a theory that the hot lights from working on a set all day tends to stunt your growth. Whether this is true, I don't know. It could be lumped in with smoking and drinking coffee does that, which isn't at all true. lol But at the same time, there are lots of child stars who never grow quite as tall as you would imagine them to.
Andre says on 21/Apr/08
Rob, Daniel doesn't look like a 5'5 looking at the pictures posted, seriously he seems 5'4. That's more likely isn't it? Or why do you give him a 5'5?
Anonymous says on 21/Apr/08
I actually think he looks taller in recent photos with a pizza man, who I know to be a strong 5'6". Dan's wearing tennis shoes and looks a good inch taller!
mass assasin says on 19/Apr/08
does anyone else think it's weird that loads of child actors end up tiny ? for example there was that guy in that nickelodeon show who was also in american pie , that guy from home alone , obviously dan , and i think it's that guy from the bill cosby show he's also small there are probably loads of other examples to , then at the opposite end many basketball players have another growth spurt after they turn 18 . personally i think it's a mind set a b-ball player will get it into his mind that if he is taller he will play better and his life will be better , and so his pituritary gland acts accordingly and releases a large amount of human growth hormone child actors are constantly being told that they're child actors . so they get it into their heads that they can keep this up if they stay small perhaps the brain thinks no child acting =bad life? i know it sounds ridicoulous but hey the brain is capable of much stranger things.

his legs are short as hell, when he gets on a tv show for an interview his feet can't even touch the floor, i've never had that problem and i'm only 5'6, i thought he was shorter than this, or maybe he just has short legs even for his height
Anonymous says on 10/Mar/08
I've never seen any info on him being 5'8, could you send the link please?
But then again I would like him to be 5'8 because that would make Tom Felton 6'1.

you're kidding me, right? 5'5'' he seems taller in the movies and pictures.
but i read in his website he's 5'8''. He's totally going to stop being my crush, since i'm 5'8' and a girl. he's to short...

hes easily 5'5"
Leung says on 26/Feb/08
Evanna is right, even in the photo that favours Radcliffe he is still midget next to Day Lewis.

A few months ago I was fooled into thinking that Radcliffe could be 5’6” after his appearance on Rove television show. But now I know the truth that he is only 5’5”.
Anna, I remember Rove asking Daniel to pull up his trousers and show him his legs and wanting to check how hairy his legs were. Now I think the truth is that Rove was shocked that Daniel was similar height to him and wanted to have a closer look at Daniel’s footwear.

Anonymous (i.e. Anna) you never give up, do you?! Weird camera angle, are you kidding me? How about this one: Click Here - the straightest shot possible, and Radcliffe is even closer to the camera. And he still looks like a shrimp. As Leonari has pointed out, it was very generous of Rob to give him a full 5'5".
Anonymous says on 24/Feb/08
I said his Dad is 5'9" to 5'11", which implies that I'm not quite sure how tall he is, I've just heard that, so please don't freak and please don't call us "folks" retarded because though I am not, it is offensive to people who are, have you never been taught manners before? But honestly, go to JustJared and search Radcliffe and there are photos of Dan and his father who is, at the very least, 5'9" and Dan's not looking that much shorter at all and Drad's wearing tennis shoes. It's not that crazy. And if you think him so short, why not post a photo (recent, might I add) of Dan and someone other than that Daniel Day-Lewis or a photo rather than the one that was posted. Right? Sorry.
leonari says on 24/Feb/08
thee is the most bull**** here on the Radcliffe section. He is 5'7", he is not much shorter than 5'11" dad..OH my god!! Are you folks retarded or are you trapped in a potter universe?? This guy is really short. I think Rob is very generous by giving him a full 5'5" which in my opinion he is not.
Anonymous says on 23/Feb/08
Sorry, had to add something...i saw pics of Dan and his father (who's 5'9"-5'11" i've heard?) and he honestly did not look much shorter. in my opinon, he's been looking taller and his footwear honestly doesn't look that sketchy, the daniel lewis thing was just an angle issue. perhaps
Anonymous says on 23/Feb/08
Amy, I think it's somewhat possible. Come on, he's not that short. He seems 5'6"ish-5'7", Rupert 5'8"-5'9", and Emma around Dan's height, perhaps slightly shorter or taller. Dunno though, it's hard to compare people with such different builds.

rob how much chance is there that Dan is over 5ft 6in

[Editor Rob: about as much chance as me wearing a glasgow rangers top.]
Stephanie says on 22/Feb/08
I agree w/Rob. 6' is adding on 7 inches, which would definitely be noticeable.

Dan is shorter than Harry Potter, though. I remember one of the books describing Harry had grown like a foot or half a foot over the summer or something like that. Harry is probably about 5' 10". He is tall enough but not too tall.
the shredder says on 22/Feb/08
Rob , just asking ... What is the TALLEST a 5 ft 5 guy can look with big heeled shoes with lifts inside ? ... Can a 5 ft 5 guy look nearly 6 ft tall with the biggest lifts out there without ANYBODY knowing ??? ... What do you think MAX a 5'5 lift wearing guy can get away with ?

[Editor Rob: without anybody knowing, I think he could if he had impeccable posture and a boot that did have 3-inch lifts 5ft 8-9 range.]
G-MANN says on 21/Feb/08
Radcliffe is a little guy, simple as that. In fact it's probably fortunate for him he didn't turn out to be a six footer, that wouldn't be right for Harry Potter.
Anonymous says on 20/Feb/08
well, is that angle a little off or is it just me? i looked at other photos of the two and he didn't look that short at all...check getty, i think it's a weird angle, but that's my opinion.
TJ says on 20/Feb/08
Why the big deal over the pic with Daniel Day Lewis? To me, Dan actually looks a strong 5'5 in that. Look at it again with a line across Click Here Top of Dan's head comes to Lewis' mouth, which would make him no more than 8 inches shorter. Rob has Lewis at 6'1.25, which would make Dan 5'5 or a touch over.
al993 says on 20/Feb/08
I'm 5'8" and I look obviously taller than Radcliffe next to my 6'1" friend. If Daniel Day Lewis really is 6'1" too, then Radcliffe looks more like 5'5" .

G.,
You obviously haven’t seen the photo with Daniel Day Lewis. Scroll down and click on the link posted by Evanna and you will see that there is zero chance he is 1.70
G. says on 19/Feb/08
I think he could be a little bit taller... maybe 1,70 m? Or it seems taller because of his weight (he's thin)? Mmmmh...

Yeah I got the little guys mixed up.

Leung that was Elijah Wood in LOTR, and Danny Radcliffe is Harry Potter lol. But they are lookalikes indeed, and apparently exactly the same height.

He is getting demolished next to Daniel Day Lewis. That's amazing. In LOTR he didn't look as short as he does in that photo.
Evanna says on 11/Feb/08
In any case 5'5" is his absolute maximum, 5'6" is out of question.

This is Danny boy next to his namesake Daniel Day Lewis, at the BAFTAs: Click Here
What do you think Rob? Could he be under 5'5"?

[Editor Rob: you could never rule 5ft 4.5 out, but I think for the moment 5ft 5 is ok.]

just saw him at baftas he could possibly be under 5ft 5

Saw the red carpet at the BAFTAS and he was standing next to Ryan Seacrest. Seacrest kinda towered over the guy :S

I guess 5'5 is about right.
Anonymous says on 27/Jan/08
Yeah, I dunno, at times they look like they given him slightly more height than Dan's and Emma's Converse-esque shoes, but we could be completely misled seeing as we have no way of seeing the shoes in person. I just find it curious that they don't put Rupert in normal tennis shoes, but I suppose the other shoes fit the Weasley character better. As for Dan, I still think he is a strong 5'6", nothing under. He has definitley been looking taller later, although I've not seen MBJ, so I've no idea if he did look like a midget or did not; in the promotional shots and the trailer he did not look short, but I could be completely wrong....And in the HBP videos he's been looking not much shorter than MIchael 6' Gambon (well, obviously shorter, but definitely no more than 6 inches, actually looks closer to a 4-5 inch difference) and he's been looking much broader, another sign of physical growth/height gain.
umad80 says on 24/Jan/08
Rupert's shoes in the HP films aren't sketchy. They're probably a half inch more than what the others are wearing. Possibly. It's hard to see the sole of the shoe. Plus it's very little difference (shoe-wise) between him and Dan when the boys are in their Gryffindor uniforms. It's not like Rupert is 10 inches taller in regular clothes compared to Dan in the films. lol

Dan had filmed December Boys long before admitting that he was still 5'5. In his most recent drama, My Boy Jack, he looked like a midget.

Kal says on 22/Jan/08
Rupert looks about 4 inches taller than Daniel. Rupert actually looks almost 6 foot in the harry potter movies thanks to camera trickery. I met Emma Watson when I went to london and she was about 10 inches smaller than me (I'm 6'3"). Daniel is definitely really small, I never realised how small Rupert is before.
umad80 says on 21/Jan/08
Dan himself has said 5'5" after saying 5'6". So is he lying about his height and wanting to make himself shorter when he was trying for awhile to make himself taller? lol Again, camera angles will make someone appear taller. And if they want to make the guy taller, they can do that easily with a trick of the camera.
gabbyf says on 20/Jan/08
I can't agree with 5'5''. in december boys he is a midge taller than teresa palmer and teresa is 5'5 3/4'' almost 5'6''. I would think 5'6''

Anthena, no offense, but you need better eyesight! LOL There is no way that Emma is 5'2" in heels. And there is no way that Rupert is only an inch taller than Dan. I'd rather believe Rob's estimate of 5'7.75" before even thinking 5'6". Besides, Rupert was marginally taller than me in 2005 when I had shoes that I think put me over 5'6" (normal height is 5'5"). But Dan is very definitely around 5'5".
Laurien says on 10/Jan/08
Sigh. I'm taller than Dan and that's depressing.
Athena says on 9/Jan/08
I met Daniel and gang at a premiere and was surprised at how short they all were. Emma Watson looked my height in heels...well, maybe a bit taller...she looked 5'2, Rupert Grint looked 5'6, and Daniel Radcliffe to my surprise looked 5'5. I couldn't believe it was almost like we were eye to eye...well, I guess he couldn't be Harry Potter standing at some 6' or something...lol.

Sophie says on 22/Nov/07
We know Harry is meant to be tall, though. In book 7 we are told that Harry is exactly the same height as his dad...and James was always described as a tall man. I think Harry (by the end) is meant to be around 6 ft, and Ron a few inches taller. Obviously this isnt going to happen in the films, but seriously...they need to give Dan lifts! He's not taller than either Hermione or Ginny, and looks so small next to evryone else! He's a great actor now, but this (IMO) detracts slightly from his performance. I know its not his fault, but i really think they should start giving him elevator shoes! :)
umad80 says on 19/Nov/07
No, I don't think that's right... I know Molly says Harry and Ron got taller in the 6th, but she hadn't seen Harry in 3 months and was fussing over him, so he could appear taller to her. But in any case, heights are NEVER mentioned, so there is no way to know for certain just how tall Harry is suppose to be. So I think Dan at 5'5" is fine. But I do agree that he should be a little taller than Emma's Hermione and Bonnie's Ginny. lol I think Bonnie might be just a little taller than the both of them...
rip says on 18/Nov/07
But umad, Harry was also supposed to be much taller than Hermione which is clearly not the case. Infact in the sixth book it was mentioned that Harry is getting very tall. Of course Rupert must be taller than Harry. Probably the tallest boy. But Rupert is not a main character as Dan is. So special attention must be given to his height. Height of a person migh ruin a character. It is just my opinion. No hard feelings.
allana says on 15/Nov/07
i've met him cause i know someone who went to city of london sch w/ him. he's hella short! i'm 5'9 and he's def. 5'5.
Evanna says on 11/Nov/07
Final burst of growth?! Then he'd better start popping some HGH pills soon, before his growth plates have fused. At least he can afford the treatment...
umad80 says on 11/Nov/07
Heh. Is that true about 21? I know for the longest time it was 18, but it seemed a lot of guys are consistantly growing beyond 18 these days. So was the age changed?

Rip, I don't think that is right. I'm not sure 5'5" is accurate for Harry, but it's never been anyone's opinion that he should be in your height range thoughts. It was always Ron who was suppose to be the tall one. In fact, Ron is suppose to be really tall and the twins are suppose to be short and stocky. So if anyone, it should be Rupert in lifts. lol So obviously they just let it be natural because you can't help this. But if anything, Ron is suppose to be a LOT taller than Harry in the way it's written.
uma says on 11/Nov/07
i'm very surprised to know that Dan is only 5'5''..so that means if we compare him to Katie Leung and Emma Watson, no major difference then..just an inch or so..hmm..i always thought he's 5'7'' but,oh well...:)
anonymous no-name says on 10/Nov/07
anonymous, he has never stated himself as any taller than 5'6", and at the london photocall for OotP he said he just measured himself that morning and was 'still 5'5".' I suppose a lot of people just want him to be taller than he really is.

[Editor Rob: in the paper the other day he'd said someone told him boys don't stop growing till 21...so he hopes for a final burst of growth.]
Anonymous says on 9/Nov/07
So if he's 5ft 5in then how come nearly all the sites give his height as 5ft 8in? An increase of 3 full inches seems a little unlikely even if he is a male movie star so likely to lie a bit. He must be at least 5'6-7 surely.
rip says on 9/Nov/07
Dan is 5'5" max. He is 0.5"-1" shorter than Emma. Whenever you see a picture of both of them together, with Emma not bending her knees, she is taller. So given Dan is 5'5", Emma is 5'5.5"-5'6"(more likely).

And Dan's height does not fit the height of "Harry Potter". It is quite surprising that film director does not use lifts to make Dan look taller. He is easily the shortest guy in the film. Ideally, Harry should have been
5'10"-6'.
Gia says on 9/Nov/07
He is small. Definately not exactly 5'6. Maybe 5.5 1/2.
umad80 says on 7/Nov/07
Yeah, and if you read the article, she bashed every single potter actor (and even a non-potter actor). So I don't really trust her intelligence to begin with. lol I still firmly believe that a weak 5'5" is most accurate. Just because I think if that boy is willing to go from 5'6" to 5'5" in a matter of a month, he'd be willing to admit lower.

So Stan is 5'10"? He just doesn't look 3" shorter than Rob Pattinson at that one premiere they attended together. But proof enough that you can't trust every photo you see.
Evanna says on 7/Nov/07
Haha Rob, you're a genius! :D The celebheights dance of accuracy, now that's something worth seeing... I imagine it as a mix of pogo and Pete Crouch's robo dance...
Evanna says on 7/Nov/07
Do you mean Stanislav Ianevski, Rob? You already have him listed here, and your 5'10" estimation is obviously correct. Doesn't that make you at least a bit proud when you meet someone in person and realise that you've guessed his height right? ;)

[Editor Rob: yes, Stan. Close means he could be 177cm ;) Yes, I'm so proud that I do the celebheights dance of accuracy...]
Evanna says on 7/Nov/07
Yeah I know umad80, that's why I said I was unsure whether the "reporter" should be trusted (she's a gossip columnist, innit?). Still I found it funny. I guess we won't know whether Radcliffe is a strong 5'4" or a weak 5'5" until we measure him! (Doesn't make any difference, he's pint-sized either way).
The weird thing is that when they filmed the first HP movie, Radcliffe was approximately the same height as Felton, Grint and Lewis, although they were all older than him. But obviously he had an early growth spurt and was done growing very early, by the age of 16 at best.

[Editor Rob: oh, I saw another minor potter character the other week there, the Bulgarian fellow from goblet who once held the honour of growing from 2cm to 184cm in a day elsewhere :P

I thought he was close to 5ft 10.]
umad80 says on 6/Nov/07
Oh, Evanna, I don't really pay attention to those sorts of things. Because people tend to forget shoes too. For all we know she could've been wearing heels. Because he doesn't look barely two inches taller than Devon Murray who is 5'2". At least back in 2005 when they were photographed together, Dan was definitely at least 5'4" then for sure. I still think a weak 5'5" makes the most sense.

JK, 7" but a weak 5'5"? According to this site, Parkinson is 5'10" so 7" would make him 5'3".
Evanna says on 6/Nov/07
Look at this, it's a report from the OotP DVD launch (not a very flattering one btw), but here's what the journalist had to say about Dan's height: "In person, he is very much still a child. He is small, he is my height. I am 5 ft 3 and 3/4...on a good day. To me, that’s wee. More than that though, he still has the mannerisms of a boy." Etc. Click Here
I don't know if we should trust the reporter, but it kinda backs up Dan's tiny weeny appearance on Parkinson.
JK says on 5/Nov/07
I definetley agree with Evanna, that difference was close to 7 inches, it makes me doubt if he is even 5'5'', id still say he is a "weak" 5'5'' though
umad80 says on 4/Nov/07
I dunno Evanna. I think 5" shorter is right. With Parkinson's head down a bit, it looked 4", so I'm saying about 5" looks more accurate. Give or take of course. Probably a weak 5'5".
Evanna says on 4/Nov/07
There's a video of Radcliffe on Parkinson: Click Here About a minute into it, Radcliffe and ol' Parky shake hands, and although the camera focuses on Parky's arse, the height difference is at least 5-6 in. I keep saying that 5'5" is generous for Radcliffe.
serval says on 3/Nov/07
saw him on parky tonite

parkinson was one hell of a lot taller

i give daniel 5'4"
marklin says on 3/Nov/07
dan,i'm afraid that you'll not be getting taller anymore..you are 18 now..i've seen december boys, you are not really tall,i can see the three boys have opportunity of being taller,you are just that tall..and even Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione(Emma Watson)was much taller than you are..she was born in 1990, right?..well, dan, this is just a matter of genetic,u don't have to worry much about this,u r still a person and u can be always a successful actor...
Sarah says on 25/Oct/07
Heys guys,Idon`t think dan is growing any more He`s over 18 now..He`s only 5ft5 in..It means he`s as tall as my!! I`m a girl & Iam from KSA I think UK Boys are more taller.
umad80 says on 8/Oct/07
In that particular photo? I think it could give an inch or so spiked up like that. But the hairstyle he was wearing in LA probably wouldn't give as much as it's not as radical. So probably a half inch or so in LA imo. Just a guess though cause it's hard to tell. But his hair definitely is poofed up a bit compared to the straight hair styles that Emma and Rupert wear. Which is why I'd give Emma around 5'5.5" at the most.
Leung says on 7/Oct/07
I watched Rove last night and Harry Shearer was similar in height to Rove McManus. Rove was only very slightly taller. Rove is looking real short these days, definitely nowhere near the 5’8” he claims.

Harry Shearer is listed on this site as 5’5.75” and was clearly closer in height to Rove compared to Daniel Radcliffe.
Before I thought that Radcliffe was possibly 5’6”, now I have to say that 5’5” seems right.
Anna says on 7/Oct/07
umad80, how much height do you think his hair gives him after viewing that photo, if you did? And you still have not seen those photos I posted? They are on getty and, if you haven't seen them I'll send a link, but honestly do not really want to, Getty is so slow for me, it's ridiculously annoying. rob, how tall do you think D-Rad's father is?
umad80 says on 7/Oct/07
Emma's never looked 1-2" taller than Dan. If you don't count his hair which it is quite obvious that he wears a flattering hairstyle for his height and Emma might be closer to a half inch or so, but who knows. I haven't taken a rule to his head to see how tall his hair makes him. lol
Anna says on 7/Oct/07
And, I just had to mention this, Luke, note that he is a male, says he is 5'6.5" at night (which is his shortest height) yet when people ask him how tall he is, he says 5'6" because he feels like he would cheat them if he were to round up to 5'7". Now, I am not saying this with 100% authority, but when one thinks of it, could this not be the case for someone like, let us say, Emma Watson? She may really be 5'6.5" or over 5'6" at night, but she doesn't want to round up to 5'7" or list 5'6.5" (again, that would make her look really stupid in my opinion) so she puts 5'6" on her official page? I mean, if a guy does this, then the possibilities of Emma, being a female and looking slightly uncomfortable with her height, doing the said are quite plausible. I mean, just when you think about it, it makes sense and plus in photos she looks easily 1", if not 2" taller than Dan. I posted some barefoot photos of them and Emma looked to be 1 to 2 inches taller when both stood properly. And this was not even considering Dan's hair, which, if you look at this photo by enlarging it Click Here seems to give him about 1 to 2 inches easily. Yeah? Nevertheless, have you seen his eyes? Wow, they are amazingly blue and gorgeous.
5'3" Aix says on 7/Oct/07
Yes Anna, 5'10" or more. At max, 6'2.5"?
Anna says on 6/Oct/07
His dad looks suprsingly tall, even if his mum is 5' (could be taller you were saying?) the dad still looks 5'10" or more. Yeah?
umad80 says on 6/Oct/07
I don't think Dan is growing any more. He's over 18 now... not that he can't of course, I think guys can grow beyond the age of 18. But it doesn't matter who is what in a family. I've said before that my family, everyone is 5'10" and under but my brother was like 6'3" to 6'4". And the only person who came remotely close to that was apparently my great grandfather on my father's side. But my dad is (was?) only 5'10" and my mom is (was?) only 5'5.5". I'm 5'5". So it doesn't matter...

Glenn on here said that in 2005 Dan looked 5'4" which I thought he looked short too when I saw him from a distance that year at the GoF premiere. So if he's only 5'5" in 2007 that means he's only grown an inch in two years. So unless he has a major growth spurt alluvasudden, I don't think he'll grow much beyond 5'5".
5'3" Aix says on 6/Oct/07
Generally, he's 5'5" but still can grow taller. He mentions in the Ellen show that his mom is 5'2" (more like 5' to me though). But I saw in one pic that his dad is tall. Dunno, but looks like his mother is taller than he says. I just found this picture somewhere Click Here which text says that it's his parents. Yep, his dad looks tall, well, taller than my 5'8" dad.
Luke99 says on 5/Oct/07
Hmm, I'm 5'6 and a half at nighttime (my very shortest) and when people ask I say 5'6 because I feel like I cheat if I round up to 5'7?

I wonder if in celeb world I would be considered 5'7/8?
Anna says on 4/Oct/07
Kie, yes, UK guys are usually taller, Dan is just on the, how shall we put it, shorter side. He's somewhere between 5'5" and 5'6" and the average height for a guy in the UK is somewhere between 5'9" and 5'10". Just as a note, it says the average height for females is around 5'3.5" to 5'4".
umad80 says on 4/Oct/07
Dan doesn't seem the type to short change himself. He's been saying 5'5.5" since GoF and then tried to say 5'6" and then admitted to 5'5". He seemed to want to make himself taller, so I don't get why he'd round down. I do think that the reason he looks taller is posture and shoes. Oh, and hair! He stands very, very straight. There is some talk about his shoes possibly being dodgy. Plus he has a really flattering hairstyle. I think all three factors tend to make him look taller than the 5'5" he even admitted to being after initially saying 5'6".
Kie_Jenx says on 4/Oct/07
Hey! He's only 5 ft 5 in?? It means he's as tall as me! I'm a girl and I'm from Indonesia, I think UK boys are more taller! He's 18, right?
Anna says on 3/Oct/07
yeah, people, search youtube for that Rove appearance and maddie, I kind of feel what you are saying. I mean, yes he indeed does look short, but he looks taller than people I know of who are 5'5". I dunno.
Leung says on 2/Oct/07
Hey guys,
Search Youtube for ‘Daniel Radcliffe on ROVE’.
maddie says on 2/Oct/07
i dont think daniel is 5'5. lots of my guy friends are 5'5 and just by looking at him in ordinary pictures, he seems maybe an inch or so taller.
umad80 says on 1/Oct/07
I've said numerous times that he wears lifts. He might be "ok" with his height enough to joke about it... but I don't think he likes to be dwarfed any. I'm not sure he was wearing lifts that night. He just seemed shorter than normal. Emma was like two inches taller with her large heels. Rupert was at least 3" or more taller than him. And we know that Matt had to be at least 7" taller. Bonnie was in the same boat as Rupert as she only seemed a half inch shorter than Rupert. I think only Evanna was shorter than him. LOL But if he was wearing lifts then... it throws a monkey wrench into everyone's height because it'd make everyone taller.
anonymous no-name says on 1/Oct/07
They have indeed a very high front, about 2"? They must be pretty hard to walk in haha. I don't know how high Radcliffe's lifts are, but he seems to be wearing his 'normal' dress shoes (I suppose he has a slight lift build in?) Compared to Rupert it looks like it gives him more than normal dress shoes, but I'm not a 100% sure.
anonymous no-name says on 1/Oct/07
Click Here here is the link to Mirren presenting the award to Dan. In the video she looks at least 2" taller, not at all the same height! Her heels give her what? 4"? Dan's lifts got to give him about 2"? That would make him 5'4"! Or maybe he is wearing regular dress shoes wich give him 1", or Mirren's heels give her more like 5" (not very likely?!) either way, Dan is probably really not more than 5'5".

[Editor Rob: they've got a thick front, 4.5 inch they'd give. Radcliffe wearing lifts?]
umad80 says on 30/Sep/07
So if she was 5'7" with them and noticably taller than Dan than he wasn't wearing lifts? But it puts him at 5'4" really... depending on how much taller. But maybe he shrinks at night because he looked 5'5" everywhere in LA. Although I think I'll have to agree with Anna on this and say that Helen is bending her knees. It's a bit noticable in high-res pics. See: Click Here

Also, I know Rupert is a bit more forward in this pic, but if you measure the top of Dan's hair to Rupert... Rupert has like 3" inches. Click Here So if he ends up 5'6" in dress shoes Rupert would be at least 5'9".
Evanna says on 30/Sep/07
Thanks, Rob. I guess that pretty much clarifies the situation.
Evanna says on 30/Sep/07
I watched the award ceremony yesterday (well, some bits of it) and I have to agree with Rob, I think that Mirren actually did take her shoes off for the photos, because she was notably taller than Radcliffe when she presented him with the award.
I still believe that the photos of all three of them barefoot are the best for judging heights, because we can never know how much they actually get from footwear. Rob please enlighten us here, how much would heels like these give Click Here ? I'd say about 3 inches, but I'm not sure, I'm no expert on high heeled shoes.

[Editor Rob: they look above average, I think they would give a good 3 over barefoot.]
Anna says on 30/Sep/07
You are from Maryland, US or something, correct umad? I think I remeber that because I thought you were from Los Angeles, CA because you said you went to the LA premiere of OotP, but you just flew across the whole US of A to attend. Dedication, nice.
Anna says on 29/Sep/07
Actually, I think what happened is she bent at her knees. Could this be it? If you look at the photos, it looks like that is what she could be doing. Nevertheless, in a video I watched where both were standing up properly and they looked essentially the same height. So, that would mean Dan would be 5'7" or 5'7.5" in those shoes, right?
umad80 says on 29/Sep/07
Uh, there were no photos of Dan looking as tall as Rupert. He looks 3 inches shorter most of the time. I'll have to go with Rob and say that Helen Mirren slipped of her shoes so Dan didn't look so short. Which might be why you see photos of her showing off her shoes.

But there you go again, Anna. You look at a photo and don't even check to make sure. I drew a line for you. Click Here - Rupert is clearly taller by at least an inch and they're both leaning into people in that one. She looks a little taller than Dan with that lean. If Dan is definitely not wearing any dodgy shoes, then he is 5'6.25" in them. She looks like she's got close to an inch on Dan even with that lean. Maybe a little more as Dan's hair is a little wild so it's hard to tell. I put her at 5'7.5" with that lean. Rupert is leaning to and still an inch taller putting him at 5'8.5" or there abouts. This meaning standing up straight puts him closer to 5'9".
Anna says on 29/Sep/07
haha, yes I "claim" to be from the UK. Just to let you know, I've been saying that I am from London ever since I came to this site, so I guess you just generally do not read what I say? Just joking, but honestly, that's a good idea. I'll just waltz into her house and measure her, that sounds like a great plan. All I have to say is I hope her brother is there, I don't care if he's young, he's sexy. But, yeah, I really don't know what is up with those Helen Mirren photos, but I don't think she has shrunk anything considerably because I believe she was just added to this site after the making of 'The Queen', am I right Rob? But I think Dan may have been wearing some intense lifts because in some photos he looked nearly as tall as Rupert and the angle does look to be blatantly favouring him. Here it is. Click Here As for your change in opinon umad, I am guessing you now think Emma at least 5'6" because, if you think Rupert is 5'9" and he would be "closer to 6'" and Emma would be "in the 5'9" range", then in actuality, Rupert would 5'9" and Emma 5'6". Dan would be 1 inch shorter than Emma as well by your conclusion. Nice.

[Editor Rob: I've not been paying attention but just looking at radcliffe and mirren, I'm certain she has slipped out of her heels. He probably joked 'yer making me look short with those hooker heels ma lady!' or something.]
umad80 says on 29/Sep/07
Helen Mirren is listed as 5'4" here. There are photos of her showing off platform shoes. Easily giving 2-3 inches. So either Dan is wearing major lifts which would make every single person very tall. You know, putting Matt Lewis around 6'3", Rupert closer to 6', and Emma in the 5'9" range... or Helen has shrunk below 5'4". I think the later seems to be more true.

I think Maggie Smith, at least in 2004/2005 - for when GoF was filmed, or the shoes she could've been wearing? We never see what McGonagal is put in really. Anyways, I think she was 5'7". And in 2005, Rupert was not 5'9". That's rediculous. That's the time I was talking about with Maggie Smith. And Emma is nowhere near 5'7". Since you now claim to be from UK, go look for her so you can measure her. lol
Anna says on 29/Sep/07
So umad80, how tall do you think Maggie Smith is? You seemed to think her taller than her 5'5" listings because, surprise, rupert didn't look 5'9" next to her if she was that height. I'd say she is 5'5" at the very least and 5'7" or 5'8" in normalish sized heels, like she was wearing in OotP. LIke I said, Emma looked at the most one inch shorter than Maggie whilst Maggie was in heels and Emma in flats, so that puts Emma Watson somewhere between 5'6" and 5'7". What I find quite interesting is that Emma actually looks taller compared to people when the other members of the trio - Dan and Rupert - are not in the picture. Examples being Maggie Smith, Evanna Lynch, Bonnie Wright, and Emma Thompson, just to name a few. I think what happens is she actually stands up straight because she doesn't care if she's taller than other ladies, whereas she doesn't want to tower over guys like Dan and Rupert. It could be total rubbish, but I think it may be true. I know people hate it when I say this, but she looks close to 5'7" when standing next to the said people and her brother, Alex Watson, who is actually quite tall as well. Rob, come on man, you have got to upgrade her. She's no longer 5'5", I think everyone has come to realise, some people are just to stubborn to put it into words.
Anna says on 28/Sep/07
Okay, so I was just looking at some photos from the 'national movie awards' that took place today and was quite suprised by some of Helen Mirren and D-Rad. Click Here You can see more on Getty if you care to do so. Now, here's the deal. Helen is listed on here as 5'4" and, if you look at other photos from the event, is wearing 2 inch or so heels that would make her about 5'6". Now in the photos both look to have good posture, yet even with Helen's footwear advantage, Dan still looks about an inch or even two inches taller. How can one explain this if he is only 5'5"?
Anna says on 28/Sep/07
That's probably true, although I think he was closer to 5'5" when the film was released and probably a solid 5'4" during the filming of GoF. Like I've said before, he was probably 5'4.5" or 5'4.75" and then grew 1/2" or so from there. And Emma was probably around 5'4.5" during the release and grew more than Dan - nearly 2 inches or more one could argue.
umad80 says on 27/Sep/07
I think Dan was 5'3"/5'4" in 2004/2005 because Glenn said he saw Dan and thought he looked 5'4" back in 2005. When I saw him, I thought he looked short too but I thought maybe it was one of those things where someone looks taller on screen. Plus he was pretty far away from me. My guess is that he was probably around 5'3" or so when they filmed GoF. (You can really see how true this is when you see him next to Robert Pattinson or even Maggie Smith!) And then when it was released he probably was closer to 5'4". And probably grew his final inch between 2005 and 2007. That's not too out of the realm of possibility. I think he's pretty much a solid 5'5" just like Emma is. But as I said, she's probably just slightly taller.
Hugo says on 27/Sep/07
My OPINION of Dan is that I think he could be at the tall end of 5'3" so I'm not exaggerating Leung--because it's my OPINION. It is a fact that he wears lifts and has military posture and is still shorter than some of the cast. Umad80, I did no such thing of the kind of "spun what Dan said." What I read was(I can't find it--what someone wrote), was someone wrote something like this,"Dan is 5'5" IN THE MORNING." <-----The person even emphasised capital letters, so that people on this site could see that Dan is 5'5" "in the morning." But I will say, I do find this site rather annoying in the sense of everyone's entitled to their OPINION--yet noone will let the person have their opinion. It's like, I could say in my opinion my favorite color is brown and someone would disagree with me and say,"no, it's not! The best color is red." That's like me saying I think Dan is at the taller end of 5'3" and that's my opinion, yet some people don't agree with that. They have to comment on my OPINION and tell me I'm exaggerating or my opinions are absurd and then going to tell me I'm "getting fussed." It's not like I'm writing it's a FACT everyone, Dan is 5'3" and that's that. No, I'm saying, I BELIEVE he's at the taller end of 5'3". It should be I write my opinion and the next person write theirs without depicting mine, but then again this site probably wouldn't operate if everyone kept to their own opinion and didn't judge the next persons opinion. I just gotta say it's ANNOYING and if you believe everything you read I'm 6'7".
Anna says on 27/Sep/07
Yeah, I think that's essentially correct umad, I think Dan could actually be 5'5.5" or 5'75.75" in the morning though, and thus a 5'5" or 5'5.25" in the evening. And I actually do not think he even said morning, I think he said today, which is why I'm wondering where one gets that he's 5'5" in the morning. And does anyone know if Dan and Seth Green took a photo together? I know Seth went to the LA premiere of OotP. I wonder if they took a shot together.
umad80 says on 26/Sep/07
Oh. I can clear that up for you Hugo. I think you inadvertantly spun what Dan said. In an interview during the photocall he said, "Everyone says 'my how tall you've gotten!' but I just got measured this morning and I'm only 5'5". It's quite dressping really." I think that might be slightly paraphrased... but the point is, he said he got measured in the morning, but that doesn't mean he wasn't up and walking around and was measured at a correct 5'5". He looks 5'5" to me. As does Emma. They're both a solid 5'5" imo with Emma possibly having a slight advantage. And Rupert is more in the 5'9" range for sure.
Leung says on 26/Sep/07
Hugo,
Daniel is a short dude but you are really exaggerating, 5’3” is getting into Seth Green territory.
Anna says on 26/Sep/07
In no way am I trying to say your opinions are terrible, absurd just sort of came out. I'm just kind of used to speaking that way without people getting fussed, sorry. You are totally entitled to your opinon, I'm just thinking that Emma would most likely not upgrade her height by two inches. If she cared, she could stand up straight. Right?
Evanna says on 26/Sep/07
Hugo, it's just Anna, she's always like that, she's been around this site for more than a year urging for Watson to get upgraded.
Anyway you might actually have the point; the reason why I came back to his forum is because I had a chance of meeting Mr Pedja Bjelac (Igor Karkaroff in GoF), and he said that Radcliffe was really small, barely over 5'3" when they filmed GoF. At first I found that weird (especially coming from someone as tall as Bjelac, I guess everyone looks short to him), but it actually made sense, sort of a put things in a new perspective. And Radcliffe surely doesn't look like he's grown much in the past couple of years. He could well be 5'5" in the morning on a good day, and closer to 5'4" for the rest of his living. Emma Watson might be slightly taller than him, but only up to quarter an inch, and she's surely not over 5'5".
Hugo says on 26/Sep/07
Firstly, I'm not going to going scouting to find who said this, but someone said that in an interview, Dan admits to being 5'5" IN THE MORNING. Secondly, it's my OPINION that I think Emma is a little above 5'4"--with Dan being shorter. Now, if that puts Danny boy into the 5'3" area, so be it. Lastly, Anna, I don't know why my opinion of Emma and Dan's height bothers you so much that you have to say my opinions of their heights are "absurd." I'm not being sensitive, I'm just wondering why you can't handle the fact that someone(me) might find them to be shorter than what they are posted for?
Brent says on 26/Sep/07
on the ellen show she made a joke about him standing oon a chair to talk to a tall girl in the audience.....................bitch
Anna says on 25/Sep/07
Did Dan actually say 5'5" in the morning? Because I highly doubt this, I would actually have to see and/or hear the interview to believe this. I'd say he is easily 5'5.5" in the morning and shrinks down to just over 5'5" in the evening. As for Emma, we all know she is easily 5'6" in the evening. And it's just blatantly absurd to say 5'4" for Emma and Dan shorter than that (although you have got the Dan being shorter bit right). If Emma were 5'4", Dan would be 5'3" or below and Rupert would be barely 5'6". None of the said are remotely true in my opinoin.
umad80 says on 25/Sep/07
I don't think Dan is 5'5" in the morning. I think he's 5'5.5" in the morning. I know that one interview took place and it was obviously early, but we don't know how long Dan was actually up. But having seen them in person, they're both definitely 5'5" with Emma possibly being taller. Nothing more than a half inch.
Hugo says on 25/Sep/07
If Dan is 5'5" IN THE MORNING, he will shrink from this. How much shrinking, I don't know, but whatever it is he's shorter than Emma. I believe Emma is a little above 5'4" with Dan shorter.
Anna says on 24/Sep/07
Yeah I know Rose, I care not if Dan is short, just so long as he is not under 5'3" (like I am), which I highly doubt is the case. Unless he shrinks absurd amounts.
Rose says on 23/Sep/07
thats ok. im short 2 so i no how u feel. i have a girl who is 3 years younger than me and she is taller than me. =p but hey, dan is still taller than me.
Anna says on 23/Sep/07
Yeah, I guess that's logical umad, but do you not also remember how he said all of the cast are taller than him now? I mean, I know he likes to joke about his height, but I am quite sure he wouldn't be saying that EW was taller than him if she really wasn't. Do remember that the 5'5.5" came from the "1/2" taller than Emma Watson". At least that is what I've heard. It's just ridiculous to say that he's still taller than EW. I'm sorry, but it is.
Evanna says on 23/Sep/07
Folks, Editor Rob saw Harry Melling (Dudley) couple of weeks ago, and confirmed that Melling's only about 5'9", and he absolutely dwarfed Radcliffe in OotP. Conclusion: Radcliffe probably wears lifts in his TV appearances, premieres and such. It's never too early for a short actor to start wearing them. ;)
umad80 says on 23/Sep/07
Sorry guys, but Dan has stated in two interviews - one recently being one for December Boys, that he's 5'5". Just prior to that he was giving himself 5'6". Why would he suddenly short change himself a whole inch? I mean, if the actor is willing to say he's 5'5" after trying 5'5.5" in 2005 and 5'6" before he finally admitted 5'5"... I think it's safe to say he's 5'5".
Anna says on 22/Sep/07
Yeah, Rob and viewers of this page, you should really watch that Rove interview, at least the first bit where Daniel walks in - he looks just under 5'6" like Leung said and, surprsingly, Dan's shoes look less dodgy than Rove's.
Leung says on 20/Sep/07
After the Rove appearance I really doubt he is as low as 5'5" flat. Anna knows what I'm talking about. I think he's probably a shade under 5'6"
Anna says on 20/Sep/07
Yeah, I'd say he is 5'5.5", maybe 5'5.75" in the morning and just a tad over 5'5" throughout the day. Actually, I'm guessing 5'5.25" or even 5'5.5" would be perfect listings for him. Also, I think he can get close to 5'7" or 5'8" in special shoes.
umad80 says on 19/Sep/07
Dan is 5'5". In a recent radio interview he apperantly stated this again. I had the link before, but I guess my comment never went through... My guess though is that Dan is 5'5.5" in the morning and just a normal 5'5" throughout the day.
Anna says on 19/Sep/07
I'd honeslty say anything under 5'5" is unreasonable for him, seeing as he looks closer to 5'6" in more recent photos.
Anna says on 19/Sep/07
You saw Equus Aix?? Do tell. And, honestly, how is one going to be able to tell if someone is either 5'5" or 5'4.5" when he is on stage? lmao, look at a ruler, it's a quite small increment. Do you know what I'm on about?
5'3" Aix says on 19/Sep/07
5'5" is him at his tallest, I think. He looks like 5'4.5" barefoot *in equus i mean*.
Anna says on 17/Sep/07
Has anyone looked at those recent photos and recent footage of Dan looking closer to 5'6" than 5'5"? By the way, is Teresa Palmer really 5'5.75"? She's not on this site....
Anna says on 16/Sep/07
No, yeah, you are completely right Hugo. I wasn't trying to offend anyone, I was just saying that it's quite uncanny to think that we are chatting with people who are out of uni and in the real world, I just never really thought on that. It's fine though and I completely understand. And I completely understand where you are coming from with your mate. I have friends who are much older than me, so it is definitely not strange. And, yeah, you definitely, without a doubt, do not need to say how old you are. Quite petty and unnecessary.
Hugo says on 15/Sep/07
First off, I'm not 30 years-old, my buddy is. I do not have to disclose how old I am. Someone can be 39 and have a 60 year-old buddy. Or, someone could be 20 with a 35 year-old buddy. You don't always have to have the exact same age group of friends. People may find they get along better. Secondly, Anna you've just insulted people who really are 30 years-old who come here. You make it sound like they don't have anything to do all day but comment on heights. There isn't an age requirement. Some might say to you, you seem like a teenager, why aren't you doing teenager things like going to the mall, or doing your homework or attending your after school job?.....instead of commenting on heights.
Anna says on 15/Sep/07
JK, I really don't think that's true. The dad being 5'9" is definitely true seeing as I saw the show, but that would definitley not mean Dan would be, at a minimum 5'8" and a max 5'10" or 5'11". His mum being 5' certainly messes things up a bit, does it not? I feel like you are just disregarding that fact completely. And, like others have said, (Chip, are you serious, 5 inches after college? that's ridiculous, but I guess things can vary like that) things are quite unpredictable. You can't really make minimum and maximum guesses, in my opinion. And gyp, I was quite surprised as well when I found that out. When you think of it, it makes sense that not everyone on this site is still in high school or uni, but I just never really thought 30 some year olds would come on here. Quite surreal. And, yeah, I really think Dan is probably over 5'5", more like 5'5.5" or 5'6". I know I keep changing, but with during his recent promotional tour he really does look to be closer to 5'6". And that would definitely make sense because there is absolutely no way Emma is anything under 5'6" (when you see recent photos of her with actors/actresses who aren't RUpert Grint or Daniel Radcliffe), so that would put her at 5'6.5" or 5'7". I am guessing she is a weak 5'7" to be honest, she's barely shorter than the 5'8" Rupert Grint. I wonder what they're going to do to downplay that mistake in casting. And, as for the age subject, I think Dan does indeed carry himself in a more mature fashion than, especially, Rupert, but I think he literally looks older too. And, think about it, in PoA Dan looked easily 15 or 16 years old whereas Emma was struggling to look like a 13 year old. And Rupert looked quite young as well and, remember, he is 2 years older than Emma. And, although I love Rupert, I really wish he would act more professionally like Dan, such as at premieres and stuff. Jeans at a world premiere of your movie, not acceptable...lol. Dan always looks cute and fashionable, props to him.
JK says on 15/Sep/07
Dan said on Jonathan Ross that his dad was 5'9'', So the minimum Dan should really been was 5'8'' and the max was like 5'10'' or even 5'11''
Godyoupeople says on 15/Sep/07
WHAT??????
Oh gosh.
Whoa.
If Hugo's not a teenager, I've been lecturing a (insert age here)-year-old on Buddhism(thianks for the tip Anna)???? Wow. Oh gosh.

Ok, moving on. I think that maybe Dan IS over 5'5.5". That old post from Anna about the Goblet of Fire movie is actually quite realistic, now I think about it. Hmmm.

On the age-related subject: I think the reason Dan seems more mature is because he kind of takes acting more seriously. I mean, with the premieres he wears suits and everything, while Rupert wears jeans or something. Also he acts a bit more serious sometimes, while Rupert and Emma are at times more relaxed. I don't know, it's just my opinion.
Chip says on 15/Sep/07
Lol, Anna, if I could find a tape measure, I wouldn't have gone through all this other trouble. I have no idea why I can't find one lying around.

Anyway, even though Dan probably does want to be taller, he tends to make a lot of jokes about his height. When he was on Ellen recently, he stated that it's a good thing he didn't have a huge growth spurt, or he probably would've been too large for the role. Dan also says that it's a good thing his mother is only 5 feet tall, which is related to the comment on his own height. What I find strange is that Dan never mentions how tall his dad is. I mean, my own mother is only 5'0", and my dad is about 6'0. When I was born, the doctors predicted that I would be 6'3" (I hope that they're right on that one). My birth record says that I was 21 inches long when I was born, which I think is kind of tall for a baby (I know that sounds funny, a tall baby, that is).
Still, it seems that Dan uses his mom being 5'0 tall as an excuse for his being 5'5.5" or 5'6", but how tall is his dad? I know a guy in his early 20s whose mother is even shorter than Dan's. His dad, however, is about 6'4", and he is 6'1". Just because you have a short mother doesn't mean you'll be short, and Dan doesn't seem to know that, lol.

btw, in response to Hugo's statement, it seems that a lot of short people do look young, but there are tall people who look young, too. I'm currently in my first year of high school, and I already see a variety of kids, different shapes and sizes. I wouldn't say I look very mature; I mean, I'm kind of broad in the shoulders and chest, but I don't look much older now than I did when I was in 7th grade. I am taller than I was then, though, and my voice has changed. But anyway, I don't look to young or too old, and even though I'm not tall, I'm actually taller than some of the Sophomores and Juniors. I look older than some of the Sophomores too, because there are some of them who still look and sound like little kids. Anyway, I think I'll still grow; I mean, I haven't gotten perfect sleep in the past, but I overall do sleep well, eat healthily, etc. There are actually some guys who grow about 5 inches after they finish college, and they're not all necessarily late bloomers. Anything can happen, I guess.
Anna says on 13/Sep/07
Yeah, I assumed as much seeing as Rob is definitely not in his teens, sorry, the God just sort of came out. Let me rephrase that, how old are you Hugo? If you want to answer, but if you don't, you need not answer.
Evanna says on 13/Sep/07
Anna, we aren't all teenagers here.
Anna says on 12/Sep/07
Wow, that is quite severe. My God, how old are you then Hugo?
Hugo says on 12/Sep/07
If I had to best describe my buddy's youthfulness, it would be that of Dan Radcliffe in "Prisoner of Azkaban," only skinnier. Imagine Dan being nearly 30 years-old in "Prisoner of Azkaban"....that's what my friend is dealing with. My friend's youthfulness is that ridiculous. He looks 14, but is nearly 30--I kid you not.

My buddy keeps telling me he's tired of people telling him, "You're so blessed. You're going to look good at 50." My friend says that sometimes he thinks he was bitten by a vampire--which preserved his youth--like Kirsten Dunst's character "Claudia" in the movie, "Interview with the Vampire." "Claudia" looked like a child(because she was bitten as a child and could never age or change appearance from that moment on), but was really an adult as the years progressed.

My friend tells me, "People say I'll look good at 50, but what if I have a heart attack in a public place at 50? A bystander will call for an ambulance saying, "There's a teenager having a heart attack!"
Anna says on 12/Sep/07
Well, I have always thought that Dan has looked quite mature for his age. He's looked quite adult-like ever since CoS really. Rupert and Emma have always looked more youthful in my opinion, especially Emma, she still doesn't look like a 17-year-old at all.
Hugo says on 12/Sep/07
Has anyone ever noticed that short men are sometimes youthful looking? Take Dan for example; I know he's still in the process of aging into becoming more looking like a young adult. But for his height, in my opinion, he appears to be youthful. It's like if you're short, somehow it won't age the face.

I have a buddy who's almost 30 years-old and is 5'5". He doesn't have the gene to grow a beard and he's real thin, I mean holocaust thin and he doesn't look a day over 14 years-old. This is no hyperbole. Dressing older doesn't help him either. He doesn't get taken seriously and everyone treats him like he's a teenager. He told me a story that once he was standing in line at the store, behind a busy lane and he looked up and saw an empty lane available, with the cashier coming out from their post to stand in front of the conveyor belt--to look for customers, who are ready to check out. The cashier notices my buddy had 2 items and looks away, instead of telling him that he(the cashier) can help him. Staying in the same lane, it's my friend's turn for service. He places his 2 items up on the conveyor belt and the cashier doesn't even say, "hi". The cashier then rudely throws his items into a bag and then tosses the change into his hand. As my friend grabs his sack, he glanced back to see the next customer in line, who appeared to be a 30-something year-old. The cashier all of a sudden was all smiles and greeted the 30-something year-old with, "hello! Find everything you were looking for?" My friend constantly gets this rude service because of his youthful looks. And his short height doesn't help, either. People distinguish shortness for a kid and tallness for an adult. People don't take teenagers seriously, but people don't realize is my friend ISN'T a teenager--he's a grown man who gets treated like a teenager.

I know I've gotten a little off subject, but it has to do with height--in a way.
Anna says on 11/Sep/07
He was also on the US TV show Ellen and he didn't really look that much shorter than her and she is supposed to be 5'7" to 5'8" (she has actually said 5'8" herself...) He looked around 5'6" compared to her.
Anna says on 11/Sep/07
i think he is at the very least 5'5" and, judging by the new photos and Rove show, he could be closer to 5'6". Honestly, check out the show on YouTube, it's surprising. And the photos with Teresa almer, they're just quite interesting and odd. Is it possible that he could have really been 5'5.5" after GoF and then grew like 1/2" to 5'6"? Or maybe he was 5'5"ish and then grew to be 5'5.5" or slightly over? I know for sure that Emma would be easily 5'6" to 5'7" and Rupert a strong 5'8".
Evanna says on 11/Sep/07
Barely over 160 cm means somewhere between 5'3" and 5'4", and that was in 2004. I do believe he is around 5'5" now, but nothing over it.
5'3" Aix says on 11/Sep/07
Barely over 160 cm? Likely 5'2" or 5'3" you mean? So I guess we have the same height! *LOL* but not likely, he looks like a reasonable 5'4" to me.
Evanna says on 11/Sep/07
Come on guys, Radcliffe said himself that he's only 5'5". And when I met Mr. Pedja Bjelac he mentioned that at the time GOF filming Radcliffe was barely over 160 cm.
Leung says on 10/Sep/07
yes Anna, I was expecting Rove to dominate him but was surprised that there was only a small difference between the two, the difference really was only 1.5”.
Radcliffe looked about 5’6”.
Anna says on 10/Sep/07
Yeah, that's what I was speaking of Leung. Maybe it was only 1.5", thus Dan would be 5'6"-5'6.5"? DOes anyone else know what we are talking about?
Leung says on 9/Sep/07
Radcliffe was on Rove last night, and interestedly he was only 1.5” shorter than Rove McManus.
Anna says on 9/Sep/07
And I forgot to mention that I saw Dan Radcliffe on Rove Live (who is listed as 5'7.75" on this site, but looks and says a genuine 5'8") and Dan was honestly not 3 inches shorter. Both were in dress shoes (although I noticed that Rove's were a bit sketchy looking?) and Dan really looked 2"-2.5" shorter. I was quite surprised by it to be honest.
Anna says on 9/Sep/07
Good for you Chip, how did you come to that conclusion, use a tape measure? haha because I think that would be the way to measure one's self the most accurately, obviously. But, anyway, I've just seen some new photos of Dan and Teresa Palmer (who is listed at 5'5.75" at nearly every site on the internet) and she is wearing about 2 inch heels and Dan regular tennis shoes and he really looks to be taller than 5'5". Click Here Okay, so Teresas would be about 5'7.75" in these heels and honestly, Dan looks only one inch shorter here so if you consider Teresa losing 1" for leaning, that would put Dan at around 5'5.5" or 5'5.75"....is it possible that he really is that tall now or do you think Teresa is lying about her height?
Chip says on 9/Sep/07
I've come to the conclusion that I'm 5'7", but I don't know or care whether it's right or not. I'm just going to say I'm 5'7" from now on until I grow some more.
Anna says on 9/Sep/07
even if you spelt Buddhism wrongly.
