Over eight celluloid , we were introduced to a mass ofHarry Pottercast member . There were , of class , the three main members of the tyke mould who were fundamentally unknown when they were cast , and the many well - known faces of the teachers , expiry eaters and order members .

There is a fair second of height divergence in that form , so we ’ve ranked the five tall and five shortest members of the cast based on their altitude at the end of the serial .

TALLEST: Young Hagrid - Martin Bayfield (2.13m)

By far the tallest person ever drop in aHarry Potterfilm is Martin Bayfield . The ex-husband - rugby actor is n’t an doer and has only appeared in a handful of films , mostly thanks to his enormous altitude .

InThe Chamber Of Secrets , he plays a untested version ofHagrid . He does n’t speak and his face is hardly seen , so this vagabond choice seems to be almost exclusively down to the need for a tall mortal to play the half - giant .

Nearly Headless Nick - John Cleese (1.96m)

You might not await it , but one of the most influential and famous members of Monty Python is also almost 2 metres tall . Next to his Python friends , you could sort of severalise , but as he float around Hogwarts already several infantry off of the ground in his spectral variant of Nearly Headless Nick , it is n’t so clear .

He appears in every account book ( and has a major role inThe Chamber Of Secrets ) but we do n’t see anything of him from the third cinema onwards , which is a shame .

Igor Karkaroff - Predrag Bjelac (1.95m)

He was one of the creepy figures inThe Goblet Of Fire(even though he actually never ended up reprising his Death Eater ways ) , and this was probably aid by his impressive altitude .

Bjelac play Igor Karkaroff perfectly , breeze through both his threatening fear in the flashback and his newfound innocent desires in the present twenty-four hour period . We wish he had returned in later motion-picture show .

Dean Thomas - Alfred Enoch (1.93m)

Interestingly , one of Seamus ’ best friends was also one of the tall members of the cast .

As his part was slightly underplayed in the films , we did n’t quite get to revalue how tall he was , but Ginny ’s once - boyfriend was reckon down on almost all of the adult cast , as well as his dependable Hogwarts friends .

Pius Thicknesse - Guy Henry (1.92m)

Standing at almost two meters marvellous , the fifth tallest somebody to take on a major role inHarry Potteris Guy Henry who playsPius Thicknessein the last two film in the enfranchisement .

His type is a Ministry functionary who has been put under the Imperius hex so that he can become the Voldemort - surrogate Minister For Magic .

SHORTEST: Seamus Finnigan - Devon Murray (1.57m)

We might recognize Daniel Radcliffe as one of the most amazingly short actors in the world , but he was being consistently exceed by Devon Murray during the entirePotterfranchise .

Seamus Finnigan was diminutive when we were first introduced to him , and remain as such throughout . He was , at the same time , one of the most logical sources of humour throughout the serial publication .

Professor Sprout - Miriam Margolyes (1.55m)

Miriam Margolyes is known for landing some telling roles in her long vocation . InHarry Potter , she plays Professor Sprout .

Her role as herbology teacher and head of Hufflepuff planetary house was consistent throughout the entire serial , whether she was mock Neville for neglecting his earmuffs or choose part in the Battle Of Hogwarts .

Dolores Umbridge - Imelda Staunton (1.52m)

Themost mean , most heartless and hateable characterin theHarry Potterfranchise ( probably outranking Voldemort , to be honorable ) was Imelda Staunton ’s , Professor Umbridge .

The fact that she was so short in all likelihood added an excess level to her threat , as she was capable to have such control condition and encroachment over Hogwarts , even when every other scholarly person and teacher tower over her .

Professor Flitwick - Warwick Davis (1.07m)

As Warwick Davis has a rarefied form of nanism , he is only around 1 G marvelous . He first germinate to fame by play Wicket W. Warwick inStar warfare : Return Of The Jedi(a role he reprize inThe Rise Of Skywalkeralmost forty year later ) , and landed legion roles inHarry Potterthanks to his placement as possibly the greatest dwarf thespian of all time .

He is most known for his role as Professor Flitwick , but he also played Griphook in the first ( through voice only ) and last films .

SHORTEST: Verne Troyer (0.81m)

If there is one actor who embrace their height as part of their life history , it is Verne Troyer . He became well - known through his part as Mini - Me in theAustin Powersfilms and stood at less than 3 ft marvelous . As such , he take on the very interesting role as the strong-arm form of Griphook the first prison term he appeared on our covert , even if his vocalization was played by Warwick Davis .
