Not an attack on anyone's choices but I don't get how anyone could vote for someone under 6'4" for Harry. I'm decently tall myself and there is a world of difference in being tall vs. average height and it is such a big part of the HArry character that I do not get how anyone could want someone not close to the height.
With 6'4", you could still have inserts to get the character to about 6'5" to 6'6" especially with boots which fits his description better. The height is an important part to me because being tall affects your personality in ways.

they can do it be the way they shoot it, if the camera guy's cant make people look tall, a lot of people in holywood wouldnt have a career, the height is important, they would still have to be about six 2 to pull it off, but its doable with a short person.It's a shame robert downey jr. is so short, he would make a great dresden, sure he might be pretty, but a lot of makeup and not working out and he would be fine.

Harry runs, and he mentioned in Changes that he used to go to the gym. Not to mention his and Murphy's teasing at the very end of the book about the fact that he does work out. Harry may not have Thomas's perfect supernatural physique, but he IS built.
The camera angling thing is a good point, though, it's how they made John Rhys-Davies, Sean Astin, Elijah Wood, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd look so small in comparison to the other actors in The Lord of The Rings.
But I think I agree that it would have to be an actor who is already at least 6'3" or higher. Whoever plays Karrin (I imagine her to be my height, which is 5 feet even) has to be able to crane her neck up and risk neck injury looking at him, lol.
Vash the white:
lol,thats how i imagine murph, the reason i was atracted to robert being harry is because of the singing detective, and kiss kiss bang bang
