The History of The Hobbit, a massive compilation of drafts and notes by Tolkien, does not give an exact height for Thorin but describes parameters for the Dwarves that are consistently adhered to throughout his work. In the early drawings by Tolkien himself of the Dwarves, they are depicted as being quite short. This is his authorial intention and so is the ‘closest’ to an answer for their height that we have.
A film would perhaps choose to make the leader of the thirteen dwarves the tallest of the lot to signify his status. That would be a choice though, intended to serve the purposes of the film. Tolkien used prose to bring out the individual personalities of the dwarves in the book, so the ‘real’ height of the dwarves is that of the book, but the ‘effective’ height of them in films and plays is a choice that serves the medium’s purposes. Knowing the source material and the reasons for changes helps one appreciate a character’s transition from one medium to another.

The big unsolved mystery of the fitness corner of YouTube (along with other great mysteries like What’s in Greg Doucette’s secret sauce? and Is Noel Deyzel a robot?) can remain a mystery for all eternity and we’d never be wiser for it.

My guess would be that he’s about average height for his age, so I could look up the median height for a teenage boy in the US and that would give me a rough idea. However, the range of height for any individual of a given age is huge, so it’s not possible to be more specific than that. He doesn’t look particularly tall or short in the group photos I’ve seen of him. As for the other boy in the video, I have no idea. Perhaps they’ll make a ‘getting to know us’ style video with fun facts about themselves at some point, but I wouldn’t hold my breath. They’ve built their brand on the content they produce, which is much healthier than if they were to build their brand on personal trivia about themselves.

One of the fun little details I thought up for the article is Lara Croft’s height. In the original games she was 5’9″, a very athletic, almost cartoonish, tall and large breasted heroine, made up of many large polygonal triangles that formed her legs in particular. The 2013 reboot of the games started Lara off at around 5’6″, making her movements feel a lot more grounded. The films have her at varying heights. Angelina Jolie’s Lara was closer to the classic Croft height, while Alicia Vikander played her as somewhat petite. While fans of the character have debated over whether Lara should be taller to better fit her ‘indomitable explorer’ type, or shorter and more of an underdog now that she’s been rebooted, I’m just pleased that in both cases her character manages to shine regardless of the decision they’ve made with her physicality, whether that means her leaping up and running off in the distance or crawling through the mud, inches from a deadly enemies’ face.

For those that don’t know, Vin Diesel is 6 feet tall. I’m assuming that’s how they’d measure up Dominic Toretto too. How tall he is doesn’t really matter. The guy must be able to bench press a refrigerator whilst delivering the speech about family. The Fast & Furious films are all about spectacle. That’s why Dom is how he is – a force of nature that you wouldn’t measure in centimeters. A tornado isn’t a thing that you’d measure in centimeters.

Try tweeting the author or artist of the piece you’re discussing. They might respond to a random and polite question. I wouldn’t get my hopes up but it’s worth a shot. Framing your query as a curiosity about the artist’s design process rather than a request for information that they’ve not provided can elicit a thoughtful response. For example: ‘Love your work! Was wondering if you had a specific height in mind for Notti Osama or is that more a feeling that you were after?’ If they do respond, be sure to let us know.

I believe there is a lot of confusion between the book and show canon. In the books, Grey Rohan is never given a height. However in the show, Grey Rohan is literally Jason Momoa, who is 6'4". So this would be the answer to the question in terms of show canon. For book canon however, we have to interpret the descriptions. 'Tower above other men' suggests he is well over 6 feet tall. And since Westeros and Essos are supposed to be below the average height of modern times, then 6'4" would indeed be a giant. So in both cases, his height in the show is consistent with the books. Therefore whether you are a book reader or a show watcher, you can confidently imagine Grey Rohan to be 6'4".

She is around 145 cm (4’9”) tall. Another rare characteristic of hers as one of the main characters. As a powerful thousand-year-old-plus mage, she’d naturally be imposing. But she isn’t. That contrast is part of her charm, as well as part of the themes of the story. The anime frequently makes use of her height in scenes where she is alone, like for example when she is searching through grimoires or gazing up at the sky. Official stats simply confirm what one can already tell by looking at the artwork.

I don’t really connect with Katara in the live-action ‘Avatar: The Last Airbender’ series as I do with the animated version. Her character has been developed with much effort to create depth, mainly regarding her family, but she isn’t as fierce as I would like her to be. In the animated version, she is a very confident person and stands up for herself. I wish the live-action version embodied some of that power and assertiveness.
I really like Katara's determination to learn and her effort in the live-action series. However, I wish she had more of the spunk of her animated counterpart. As it is, Katara does not seem as confident as she was in the animated series. There are moments where Katara seems almost mousy, which is so unlike her character. I really want her to be a nurturer, with all of her strength, and animated with the same amount of passion that she had in the series. I know they are trying to make her work, but they are not quite there yet for me.

Great reminiscence! Magnús Scheving is 183 cm tall and therefore very fit, in a way he is Sportacus. The character was conceived by Scheving who has a fit lifestyle based on his athletic background and his own fitness philosophy. His daily routine at the Magnús Magnusson Studio, where Vikings was recorded, consisted of rehearsed and spontaneous actions and of constant movement and activity.
Together with the movement of play, Magnús likely got different kinds of training. His diet was also strict but included a lot of whole food which gave him plenty of energy to keep going all day long. His genetic predisposition to be tall and athletic, his lifelong involvement in sports and his job as Sportacus all combined to make him the fit man he is today.
