Porcupines have the same dimensions in the important parts. Giants and humans might not.
TheOtherDave was alluding to a joke that goes like this:
Q: How do porcupines have sex?A: Very carefully.
My answer makes sense even if I knew the joke. Which I do. Was it ever addressed in canon? How tall are the Giants?
Something like twenty feet tall, if I remember right.
I thought it was more like fifty feet, but I checked my copy of OotP and you’re right.
Ah, I had a totally wrong mental image. In many movies giants are like: bigger.
[I happen to be about 2 meters (6 and a half feet for the non-metric users), so maybe I need more size to perceive someone as a giant.]
He’s human on his dad’s side and giant on his mum’s, rather than vice versa. I imagine that made things easier.
