Well..... this got long. LOL! It's Sunday afternoon, and I'm avoiding chores. Thanks for enabling that. :D

In my mind, Harry is (forgive the US measurement) around 5'8". Maybe 5'9" in Auror boots. A very nice height for a man (I'm biased here) and reasonable to me based on the details you mention and the circumstances of his childhood. I don't see Harry as remarkably tall, but no one's gonna underestimate him based on height, regardless of his fame.

I distinctly remember the two Weasley body types and always assumed the tall came from Arthur and the short from Molly. Don't remember any blue eyes, but I honestly couldn't even tell you what color Ron or Ginny's eyes are, much less the rest. I'd have to google if I were going to mention it in fic.

Louis is mini-genderflipped fleur.
HUBBA HUBBA. Although I do love a red-haired Louis. Or at least strawberry blond. As you know.

Adopting your James HC as canon. Check.

Agreed on the red hair for Rose simply because it's fun. And no distinct headcanons for George or Percy's kids except that Fred II is absolutely built like Charlie. But bigger. :D

That art is a true gift to fandom! I've spent at least a total half hour just staring and sighing over it this week.

I don't know how much gender plays into preference across the spectrum, but FWIW I identify as a cis female and tend to care less about physical description and more about cerebral tension. Writing physical description is rather a slog for me unless I'm 100% into the physique as part of the cerebral tension (e.g. Charlie is hot because he could literally crush you to pieces; Daphne is hot because it's alllllll about the femme fatale aesthetic). I tend to shy around physical description in minor character fic because of that, and also because I want avoid stepping on the reader's potentially set-in-stone headcanon. All that said, being a bisexual and having few set-in-stone preferences myself, I absolutely devour in the physical descriptions in your fic and salute the novel and integral ways in which you present them. Read a Literotica piece sometime, and you'll know what I mean.
