Canon Couples and the Random Heights I Assigned Them

Just because I recently re-read this post and it's on my mind. Here's what I think these canon couples' final heights came to be and some justifications behind my thought process, as well as some headcanons. Let's start with my OTP -

Harry (6'1") and Ginny (5'0")

I'm kinda obsessed with the idea that 17yo Harry being the same height as his 21yo deceased father would grow just a couple more inches

Ginny being 5ft fits with her being the noticeably "smallest one" in the DoM during OOTP and with Harry being able to easily look over her head during the infamous First Kiss scene in HBP, putting her head at chest height of Harry (as of HBP)

Ginny is the only one who knows about Harry's petty satisfaction when he ran into Draco Malfoy some years after the war and realized he had continued to grow and Malfoy hadn't

James (5'11") and Lily (5'8")

Because they're both tall enough to be considered "tall", but not the kind of tall that is shocking

Lily being 5'8" makes her tall enough to have to look down at 14yo Harry in the graveyard scene of GOF

Ron (6'5") and Hermione (5'8")

In order for Fred and George to be "shorter and stockier" than 14yo Ron, but still slightly over 6ft so as to shrink to 5'11" in DH, I have to assume Ron's final height came to be one that most people would put in the "Holy shit you're tall" category

I know I'm going to get shouted at for Hermione's height, because she's never described as particularly tall in the books HOWEVER she's never described as particularly short either, just shorter than Harry

This 9 inch height difference give Ron & Hermione the perfect height difference for Ron to comfortably rest his chin on her head without having to hunch over awkwardly like Harry does with Ginny, so I'm sticking to it

Arthur (5'11") and Molly (4'11")

I know the movies made Arthur short and round, but he was described as thin in the books and all the Weasley boys wind up being pretty tall, so they had to get that from somewhere.

Molly is consistently described as short and dumpy throughout the series, and while Ginny is often compared to Molly physically, I just like the idea that Ginny managed to grow that extra inch that Molly never did.

Draco (6'0") and Astoria (5'11")

we know in DH Draco was slightly taller than Harry at the Malfoy Manor scene (p.457, U.S. edition of DH), so if we assume the like linked post above that Harry was 5'11" during DH, then I'd put Draco at 6 foot.

we literally know nothing about Astoria (CC doesn't count), but I picked 5'11" because it is the curse of all tall women to wind up with men roughly the same height

Lucius (5'10") and Narcissa (5'10")

we know Harry and Narcissa are the same height in HBP, so I put her at 5'10"

correct me if I'm wrong, but Lucius is never described as particularly tall, while Narcissa is. And of course, tall for a woman is average for a man. I put Lucius to be around around the same height as Narcissa because I just don't see Lucius' personality allowing him to be with a woman taller than himself.

also, see the curse of tall women above

[rewritingcanon]

people who think scorbus is the ‘new drarry’ are so wacko because they dont realise that scorbus is fr clickbait since they’re literally just ginny and astoria

[darklinaforever]

Sorry, but for me J.K didn't write good romances. We don't know Astoria, Rolf and Hannah. Lupin and Tonks appeared out of nowhere. Jily is undrinkable. Hinny has little or no development over 7 books even though they have really known each other since volume 2. Romione is really not great from my point of view. Don't even get me started on Dumbledor and Grindelwald...

Bill & Fleur are the only ones, among the young characters, that I find cute and even then it's a very secondary couple. Honestly, Molly and Arthur are the only real Harry Potter goal couple in my eyes. And yet, they also haven't seen them much !

[dramioneasks]

All I Wanted - CassieMK - E, 40 chapters, Words: 156,014 - Hermione returns to Hogwarts for an 8th year sans Harry and Ron. Her plans to focus on her studies and process her trauma quietly is thrown out the window when Theodore Nott crashes into her life, dragging the rest of the snake pit along with him. This is a story of a group of teenagers trying to heal after the war and what happens when they must face each other as adults. Part One takes place during eighth year. Part Two features a time-jump to 2005.

[merlinsbudgiesmugglers]

In this house, we support both scorbus and scorose, because draco being in-laws with harry or ron is equally entertaining in my book

[scaramionee]

Just finished Secrets and Masks by Emerald_Slytherin and I haven't been the same ever since. I thought that Manacled was my last straw and then I start reading THIS PIECE OF ART ??!! DRACO AND HERMIONE'S CHEMISTRY ?!! THEO'S CHARACTERIZATION ??!! ASTORIA AND BLAISE'S UNDYING LOVE FOR EACH OTHER ??!! DAPHNE AND HER SACRIFCE ??!! THE FOUND FAMILY TROUPE ??!! MALFOY'S ADORABLE DRAGON ?!! How can I ever go back, I do not think I can ever bring myself to read that fanfic again. It soothed the deepest part of my soul and I'm glad but nope, I refuse to bawl my eyes out all over again. I can never move on from this fanfic, as if all of this happened in the canon, UGH WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[ynandfics]

“Draco nobody literally asked you” Pansy turns to the boy decked out in his best black suit. His dark mark hidden after all these years.

“Y/n tell him he’s dreaming pretty please?” The girls had originally gotten together for one last

“You’re dreaming love, but also interrupting the peace” I waved him away, I heard Hermione giggle in the background.

“Is the bachelor party that boring you decided to check on us via floo powder?” Astoria questioned Draco, sharp as the true Slytherin she used to be.

“Let’s just say, Nott and Zabini would even be a surprise at the wedding cause they’re so drunk. And all the Weasley’s hold alcohol really well? They want to do tequila shots, only Harry knows how to get that though out of us” I laughed with the girls at his pure misery, it didn’t sound bad at all.

“Tell you what Draco? Take this bottle to them and shove off” Ginny handed him a bottle of tequila we were going to have later, but oh well, it was for a good cause.

“Oh uh thank you” Draco slowly walked towards the door and shut it. The second it clicked we all burst out laughing, the moment too funny and best of all it was relived with my best friends.

[magikfish]

You see Ginny and Draco can be friends because neither of them are funny to anyone but each other. Hpcc Ginny could tell a joke and you’d hear crickets but also Draco laughing from the other room. Draco tries to tell a joke to Scorpius and he just cringes but Ginny doubles over. It’s great it’s fantastic. They workshop together of course, and somehow become infinitely worse 🩷

[maxdibert]

What do you think of canon relationships like Romione, Hinny, Draco and his wife (i forgot her name srry), etc.?

Ugh, they seem so boring to me. I mean, Romione was super predictable, and honestly, I never saw it because I’ve always thought Hermione should have dated Ron for a few years, then broke up on good terms, and focused on her own things. But whatever, it doesn’t really bother me, it just seems like a predictable couple, and predictable romantic dynamics bore me, but that’s it. No big deal. Hinny is another couple that’s meh. But well, Romione has development, seven books of development, to be exact. Hinny is something that comes out of nowhere, with no build-up. I mean, one day Harry doesn’t even remember Ginny, whom he’s never really noticed and only acknowledged in the second book, and the next day Ginny is basically the MarySue of Hogwarts, even the Slytherins admit she’s super hot, she hooks up with everyone, and everyone wants to be with her—it’s like ???? And on top of that, not only that, but she’s a textbook tomboy, a pick-me girl with a crappy attitude, and her biggest achievements are basically acting like a guy. She’s the typical "bro" girl in the male sexual imagination. Rowling turned her into a really unpleasant character. But well, I don’t particularly ship Harry with anyone, so I guess it’s fine. I mean, I have nothing against the couple, I just don’t care. It’s a couple that comes out of nowhere and was made because Rowling needed Harry to end up related to the Weasleys, so she created Ginny for that. And instead of giving her decent character development, she decided to sidelined her for most of the series and then suddenly brought her in during the last two books to sell us the idea that she was the perfect girlfriend for Harry. Anyway, bad writing, but it’s Rowling, so it was to be expected.

As for Draco and Astoria, well, I like them more. I like the idea that the Greengrasses are a family of snobby aristocrats, but at the same time, they stayed "neutral" in the war and had a more progressive view without losing their traditionalism. They have that social cleverness to understand that if they want to survive as a class, they need to adapt to the new times, and Draco takes the position of being with someone of his same class (which was predictable), but adopting a low-profile stance and leaning toward a non-interventionist position after the war. I think it’s a good parallel to how many old noble families have evolved over the 20th century to adapt to new social policies, and I think it makes a lot of sense for Draco, considering his character development and the trauma he goes through during the war. They don’t really interest me much, but they’re the most interesting to analyze.

In general, the canon couples don’t really matter to me because Rowling is terrible at writing romance, and the only one she developed was Romione, but that’s because they were part of the Golden Trio and were present throughout the whole series, and even then, I find a lot of flaws in it and think they’re pretty bland. But well, Rowling doesn’t really have much of a hand for that.

Pick + Choose

A sweet Dramione love story set amidst a mystery.

Ten years after the second wizarding war, Hermione Granger is the proud owner of Granger Magical Protection Agency - using her revered skill and intellect to protect the most vulnerable members of the magical community. Despite her beloved public persona, protecting those in-need doesn’t turn a high profit, and her company is starting to crumble under financial pressure.

Draco Malfoy, on the other hand, has more money than he knows what to do with. He’s spent the past ten years reinventing himself into a successful hotelier, and his picture is a constant fix on the cover of The Daily Prophet.

Draco Malfoy doesn’t settle for anything but the best. And when he begins to receive credible threats to his life from an unknown source, he knows he must hire the best - Hermione Granger.

[rewritingcanon]

do you have any headcanons about post-hogwarts scorbus? :)

oh DO i!!

scorpius gets a huge glow-up after hogwarts sometime around his mid twenties and everyone is shocked by it except albus (who always thought scorpius was drop dead gorgeous) and draco (who knew astoria’s model genes would kick in sooner or later)

i think most of nextgen would do better than their parents and not marry as mind bogglingly early as them. all except scorbus, who would probs marry each other at 19 or some ridiculous bs.

would have the weddings to end all weddings too. theres no “small intimate gathering” absolutely not, not with DRACO MALFOY being the grooms father 💀💀 its more fancy than the royals i swear its making headlines.

also albus would take on the malfoy name in my opinion. no hyphenation, just full integration

scorpius will be over at the potters house every second week just to suck up to all of them and win the favour of everyone especially ginny (because ginny is the alpha of the household). hes of the opinion that he cant ask albus to marry him unless everyone accepts him (they all do but scorpius doesn’t believe it for at least eight months).

he also tries to win rose’s favour but she pretends to not gaf just to fw him.

i always go back and forth between their careers, im never set on one. for scorpius i predominantly like the idea of him being a healer and going through the wizard-equivalent of med school because it just feels like something he would needlessly put himself through. i also like him doing a career he’s passionate about, like something to do with history, or working in a really obscure department of the ministry.

i fluctuate with albus’ career the MOST. i can see him working a desk job and hating it and being that guy whos disassociating staring at the clock on the wall waiting for his shift/workday to be over do he can go home and love all over his husband. i also see him quitting it all to go full house-husband/stay-at-home dad when he gets sick of it. but i think he’d like having a muggle career better than a wizard one.

albus does ALL the cooking. scorpius is BANNED from touching the kitchen because he burns everything (poor thing tries his best)

the only reason they didn’t move out immediately after graduating was because scorpius was scared to leave draco alone in the manor. so draco pretended to be sick of albus basically staying over at the manor every night to push scorpius to do what he wanted

i think scorpius and albus would move into a young-adultish flat/apartment when they first move in together, even though they can def afford a proper home 😭😭

they still literally follow each other everywhere. deadass cannot separate them.

ginny goes on solo holidays with the boys 😭😭💀💀💀

scorpius is an early waker and albus will sleep until 3pm if not roused. albus keeps wanting to wake up early to make scorpius breakfast in bed but alas hes not built for it…..

albus has to teach scorpius how to not be so ostentatious when buying things for their home or nursery or whatever. that boy has no idea how to save his money 💀

always go to family functions in matching accessories like ties or watches or socks or jewellery or SOMETHING. they just have to outdo all the other couples there smh.

also always wears matching pyjamas because they’re sickening

albus would be more passionate about following the tradition of naming their kids after stars/constellations than scorpius would be.

albus is very wifey material like he gives scorp the best massages after work, runs him hot baths, cooks and cleans, handles financials, spoils scorpius by buying him lots of things he likes (tbf scorpius is very easy to please), listens to his rants, so whenever scorpius feels hes not doing enough he’ll panic and buy out an entire cinema for a date night or something similarly corny 💀

albus gets the white streaks in his hair that make him a honorary malfoy

albus gets a pot belly when he’s older im so passionate about this

i also like the idea of scorpius needing to wear glasses when hes old too

lmk if you want more scorbus hcs i am always ready and willing to yap about scorbus
