They may have shot her to look tall like, Robbie Contrane's Hagrid as well. Haven't seen the movie either yet, but notice from the way it is shot, in the previews, Imelda looks taller than she is, apparently. For instance, when Harry is before the Ministry of Magic, she seems to be seated as part of a rising stack(stadium seating)of officials, and in other previews appears to be standing when others are sitting.

I've seen her in a lot of stuff; she often works with Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. She's not at all a tall woman. Positively tiny standing next to Fry and Laurie. 5' even according to the bio information I was able to find. Of course, I haven't watched the movie yet, I suppose they may have put her in heels. andy _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
