In J.K. Rowling's universe, Harry Potter isn't a giant but he's eventually described as slightly taller than average as the series progresses. So what did the actor who's become synonymous with the wizard think of playing a character whose proportions don't quite match his own? [artist id="264615"]Daniel Radcliffe[/artist] tells MTV News he wasn't too concerned -- but with some conditions.

"I didn't get particularly worried because as long as Emma [Watson] and Rupert [Grint] weren't shooting up too quickly either, I'd look [fine]," he told us earlier this month at the opening of the [article id="1641785"]Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios[/article]. "We'd all look relatively [the same height]. It was all going to be OK," Radcliffe added.

Still, Radcliffe admitted he wouldn't mind adding a few inches to his real-life frame.

"I was worried on a personal level because I wanted to be slightly taller than I am, ideally," he explained. "But I've now accepted it. Basically, I've came to the conclusion a while ago that you can either be really bitter about it or you can make loads of funny jokes."

What kinds of jokes, we asked.

"When I meet people now and they all say, 'God you're so much shorter than I expected!' I always say, 'No! I'm actually slightly further away than you think,' " he smiled, adding, "Which confuses them."
