Why is Harry so Tall?

<< < (3/5) > >>

Bad Alias:
Tyrone Curtis "Muggsy" Bogues was 5'3". He's the one from Space Jam.

Just Al:
Please remember, genetics isn't necessarily deterministic. There is always an element of chance in any recombination of genes being passed to an offspring.

Many years ago, when I was a high school teacher, I had a student who was "Harry Tall" (6'9" IIRC). His parents were about my height (5'10").

Thank you, sort of remembered the name, Muggsy, but I didn't want to say it and be wrong. Consider though, he was Murphy size and a star in the NBA>

That was the case in my family, in fact a friend of my father, who hadn't seen him in many years, actually did not believe my father was the father of my brothers because they were both "Harry Tall."

BrainFireBob:
Observation:

Among the Fae, height indicates power.

WAG:

Harry's mother spent a lot of time in the Nevernever while pregnant. Benefit: It enhanced Harry's power and incidentally made him taller.

Intent: She was targeting his birthtime exactly by using a mix of slower-time and faster-time locations. Thomas was the dry run, hence his birthday on exactly Valentine's. By changing her subjective timeline relative to objective time, she could ensure Harry's birth at the optimum time to produce a starborn. Side effect: He's tall.

The_Sibelis:
Not just the fae, but those with the blood of the NN, harry is tall because his heritage is important. The more important your role, the taller you are. MW is described as the tallest shadow, because she's the most important next to MS. Not sure anyone surpasses them.
*In the order of reality, of course there are things possibly bigger. But they don't have a role inside.
I'm more interested in say Nic and Eb being so short. Eb especially, it's not a lack of power..
