The BFG (the Big Friendly Giant from Roald Dahl’s story) is described as about 24 feet tall , which is roughly 7.3 meters in height.

Basic size facts

  • The BFG is said to be “twenty-four feet” tall in the story and related commentary.
  • A height of 24 feet converts to about 731–732 centimeters, or about 7.3 meters.

How that compares

  • At about 7.3 meters, the BFG would be over four times the height of an average adult human (around 1.7–1.8 meters).
  • In Giant Country, 24 feet is considered small, as other giants are described as at least twice his height and width.

In-story perspective

  • Within the book’s world, the BFG calls his own size “puddlenuts,” meaning he feels relatively small compared with the other man‑eating giants.
  • Those other giants are described as “double” his “royal highness,” implying heights around 48 feet, making him the more modestly sized, friendly giant of the group.
