Rob, you should propably add his role in The Queen's Gambit as Harry Beltik.

He looks a lot taller than 5'9.25", in the photo with Rob. Depending on his shoes, he might be 5'10".

His face is unrecognizable due to drastic weight loss from the last time when He played Dudley Dursley aka Harry Potter's big and fat cousin from Private Drive # 4 from HP movie series. As he looks more skinnier than decades ago, it makes it easier for me to guess the height that you listed this page... Little more than solid 5ft 9 as I can see at least...

Rob, this listing is spot on!
I was actually stood right next to him for about 10 minutes on a Jubilee line train last week!
I'm 5' 9.25" (176 cm) at my low and had 1.25" dress shoes on - so I looked like a 5' 9.5" guy.
He wore Nike Air Max that are about 1.3-35" and looked 5' 9.5" to maybe 5' 9.75". So take away the boost that these trainers give and he's a textbook 176 cm - just like me. Looked exactly the same height as I do in my Air Max's.
The floor surface was flat and I mirrored his posture too. Height twins!

Editor RobYeah, I also don't think Melling is as tall as 5ft 10 in person, but somewhere in between that 5ft 9 to 10 range.

Would he be 5'8 3/4 or 5'9 if he had a smaller head

Editor RobHe might look taller with a smaller head.
People can sometimes glance at photos take in cue points like eyes/nose/chin and filter out a little the top of heads.

It has been years I didn't watch a Harry Potter.I thought he was easily around 230 since he was really overweight.Looks definitely average built now.
Rob,is it me or his interpupillary distance seems very small?

Editor RobYes, I would say about 52mm for Harry's pupil distance, which is at the lower end of the range. Usually 60 to 65mm is common. Over 70 very wide, under 55 very narrow.

@Christian-6'5 3/8
What you say is correct but I think you're unusual amongst people of your height. Most people of well over 6ft would regard 5'9" as short. Height, as with most things in life, is relative.

@Bobby
I've seen and heard some people say 5'9" is short, which is ridiculous. These people have no idea of how a legit 5'9" looks like because so many people exaggerate their height. They probably see a true 5'7" as being 5'9" and a true 5'10" as being 6'0".

@Dream: I know right! Legit 6’5 and 6’5.25 guys are often guessed 6’6/6’7 or even 6’7. Lol Christian will vouch for that! And even for me I’m guessed 6’5 often and 6’5/6’6 still sometimes. It takes me in casual like shoes to be guessed 6’4 and by an honest person but prob because I don’t come down all the way

@Hans Meiser, unbelievably short? 5'9.25 is actually above average height even for a man, average height globally is only 5'8, and in most countries, a stature of 5'9.25 is above average outside of Europe, and some parts of the U.S, he'd be average to above average in Canada, which is where I live. Again, how is he short if he's average height at worst?

Not a single chance he is this height in 2014. Met him today he was 1 foot fr and he was at the very least 178-179cm. He must be leaning in robs photo. But then again I have just met Jessie J who he has listed at 174cm and she is no more than 172 MAX. So there is even margin for error even by the mighty Rob.

Editor Rob he looked about the same height in person as Jenny's 176cm sister! He certainly didn't give a 5ft 10 impression, unless I was to include hair.

french guy, child actors are usually children picked who are smaller/shorter than their age. It has nothing to do with the lifestyle. They routinely pick children 4 and 5 years older than the role they are playing for. Reasons for this are because of acting regulations (an older child - or maybe even adult in the case of 18 year olds - can legally work more hours), or because the child may already be a seasoned actor so its an easier movie to make for them.

i believe that many harry potter's actors did not reach their potential which could explain why many are short(ish), or atleast below average, like many child actors( malcolm and his brother, anakin skywalker in star wars 1,mom i missed the plane) .Maybe due to a lot of stress which had slowed their growth down.

hey koursh and rob no offence guys, but i dont see how that method works, because different people have different sized heads. like my uncle for example my body and limbs are like a quater of an inch longer than his my shoulder is a above his shoulder slightly, and my eye level is above his eye level. yet he has a large forehead, whereas i have a small one, which makes him taller than me, even though my eye level is over his. and i think he does look 177cm, so a very strong 5'9.

rob why his eyelevel is at your middle of forehead? because thats how a 5'10 person would be look like next to 5'8 person. Because if he was 176cm his eyelevel would be at above your eyebrow but its slightly higher than that.

Editor Rob in person he looks in the 5ft 9 range, I think with thick hair he could possibly appear near 5ft 10 to people I guess, his slim build could help nowadays.

Lol, I like how the tallest actors in the Harry Potter films were the Weasley/Phelps twins. But I guess even 5'9.25" is enough to dwarf 5'4" Daniel Radcliffe... Radcliffe is extremely small so they had to make everyone else smaller to match :P.

I guess this listing is correct but it's kind of hard to tell because he has so much hair advantage. His eyes look too close to each other.
