So it's been a while since you answered the Call to Adventure, and you've had some successes. Spectacular successes, even. Everyone has heard of what you've done and everyone knows your name. . . but they don't know what you look like, and you don't exactly look the part. Maybe you're the Kid Hero, Little Miss Badass, Cute Bruiser, Pintsized Powerhouse, a Lady of War with a Tomboyish Name, Really 700 Years Old, or maybe you just lack the movie-star looks everyone associates with a heroic role.
Either way, your reputation precedes you, and every time you introduce yourself, people are going to look at you and say "Oh! I was expecting someone taller...". Or worse, they'll ask if you've met/heard of/know of... well... you. Then you have to say Actually, I Am Him. Or even worse, they'll think your associate is you, and then you have to say Actually, That's My Assistant.
Alternatively, maybe you're just a Dirty Coward with an Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance who happened to be in the vicinity of great events.
Can be Truth in Television — research has shown that people make links between people's height and their perceived success, even if they know nothing about them.
May overlap with Shrouded in Myth, where it's the exaggerated reputation or description that causes the disappointment. Can lead into a Warts and All plotline, where they can realize their expectations are wrongheaded.
If someone is simply commenting mockingly on the height of another character with no reference to their reputation, see Acceptable Targets or The Napoleon.
See also Beauty Equals Goodness, Mistaken Age, Recognition Failure, Badass on Paper, Nothing Is Scarier.
Not to be confused with the Tom Holt comic fantasy novel, Expecting Someone Taller.

Aquaman: Two examples in Arthur and Orm's first duel.
When Arthur hears that he and Orm will duel in "the Ring of Fire", he assumes that the small private chamber with the lava circle is where the duel will take place. Uh... no. That's the green room. The real Ring of Fire is an open water arena with a couple of thousand Atlanteans gearing up to watch their king kick the renegade's half-breed bastard into fish food.
Similarly, the Atlanteans expect Arthur and Orm's Duel to the Death to be a Curb-Stomp Battle. They quickly realize that Arthur is capable of giving his brother a run for his money.

Worm:
Eidolon has this effect when he actually talks to people. Though he is unquestionably the most powerful superhero alive, nobody that talks to him actually likes him as a person, even the heroes that he's worked with for years.
Skitter also has this effect. Clockblocker even comments, during an Enemy Mine, that she's shorter than she looks when she's not covered in a shroud of insects.

Dinosaur Train:
When the kids learn that Eoraptor was one of the first dinosaurs, they assume it's really big, so they're surprised to see that the fully-grown Erma Eoraptor is barely taller than them.
In another episode, when Buddy and Tiny hear Daphne Daspletosaurus' thunderous footsteps, they expect her to be a fully-grown adult, but instead she's a child slightly shorter than Buddy.

Dragon Age:
Random dialogue from a Commoner Dwarf in the original game includes a line that she thought humans/a Grey Warden (you) would be taller. Her image of it must be rather skewed...
In Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening, an imported Warden can get this (somewhat sarcastic) reaction from Nathaniel Howe upon first encountering him in a prison cell.
Inverted in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Cassandra was expecting Hawke to be shorter. Played straight with multiple people, particularly Blackwall, if the Inquisitor is a dwarf.

In the introduction to Dangerous Visions, Isaac Asimov and Harlan Ellison recount their first meeting, when young fan Ellison walked up to the elder author and said, "I think you're (Beat) nothing." Ellison was invoking this trope, although Asimov initially took it as something more insulting.

Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey: Bill and Ted have this reaction when they go to heaven to find the greatest scientist in history, and discover that he's basically a Wookiee who can split into two Ewoks (or is it two Ewoks who can fuse into a Wookiee?). The Grim Reaper asks them, "Did you expect the greatest scientist in history to be from Earth?" which is probably a valid point.

Prince Caspian:
Reepicheep plays the trope for laughs when he and his fellow mice open a door to admit Trumpkin the dwarf into a room of the castle.
Also played by Prince Caspian when meeting the Pevensies, thinking they'd be older. Then again, they actually were older — quite a bit older, actually — the last time they were seen around those parts, due to the fact that they were restored to their original ages upon leaving Narnia, so his expectations were somewhat justified.

The Empire Strikes Back: Luke Skywalker was somewhat surprised on meeting the great Jedi master Yoda, although that's more "I thought you'd be less senile and less likely to steal my lunch." In the storybook-and-record set of Empire made for children, the story is radically condensed in order to fit on a 45-rpm platter. Luke instantly figures out Yoda's identity upon meeting him and says, "I was expecting someone larger!"

At the beginning of Year Of The Griffin, the protagonists' University tutor, getting all his pupils to self-introduce themselves, expects Olga Gunnarsson to be the Emperor's sister (because of her regal manner), and the Emperor's sister to be the Wizard Derk's daughter (for her "humble, almost harassed look"). Wizard Derk's daughter actually turns out to be a griffin.

Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3: Big Bad Shao Kahn is played by bodybuilder Brian Glynn. Kahn is known for his massive, imposing stature, and while Glynn is impressively muscular, he is actually kind of short in real life. In the games it made no difference since his sprite was simply scaled up, but when Glynn appears at conventions, more than one fan was, well, expecting someone taller.

Played with in The Shadow. Shiwan Khan gets into Lamont Cranston's hidden inner sanctum and immediately says, "I saw you as taller." This may be either a byproduct of Lamont's "clouding men's minds", or of Shiwan's mental portrait of Ying Ko, Lamont's former self.

In Dragon From Ash, many Nords are completely dismayed when they finally meet the legendary Dragonborn — it's not so much the height (even if he is pretty scrawny and short), but rather the fact that he's a Dark Elf.

Trigun:
In at least the anime version, Milly and Meryl are unable to recognize Vash the Stampede at first because pretty much nothing about him appears anything like the infamously destructive gunslinger they expected. Admittedly, he is tall and his hair is too, but he's far from the tallest person on Gunsmoke (and his hair isn't the biggest, either), and, more importantly, he's a staunchly pacifistic goofball who tends to run around screaming in terror, tripping over his own feet on occasion, flirting with girls and wolfing down doughnuts. At least in the first episode. He Takes a Level in Badass by the end of "Hard Puncher" a few episodes later, or, more accurately, finally reveals what a badass he's actually been all along.
The only things known about Vash is that he's tall, has blonde hair, and a red coat. Some other details occasionally pop up, but those are as often wrong as right (such as him using a boomerang) from seeing people mistaken for Vash.The first episode of the anime focuses on several bounty hunters who become suspicious of each other as they try to figure out who the real Vash is. Conversely, in the manga, the cities are festooned with wanted ads featuring his picture, so this isn't an issue.

In Chapter 9 of BlazBlue Alternative: Remnant, when Glynda Goodwitch learned that Jubei's protégé, Ragna, would be attending class at Beacon on his recommendation, she was expecting him to be as honorable and noble as he was skilled.

Many people in Attack on Titan are surprised how short and wiry Captain Levi, known as Humanity's Strongest Warrior, is. Considering how fast and precise he needs to be to swing through the air with the 3D Maneuver Gear and slash through the necks of titans, a bigger and bulkier person would have a harder time.

The Dresden Files:
In Grave Peril, when Harry and the Knight of the Cross Michael meet the dragon Ferrovax at a Red Court ball and Michael — who is at least six feet and not short by any human definition — reveals that he killed the dragon Siriothrax, all Ferrovax deigns to say is "I thought you would be taller."
In Small Favor, Harry has been fighting the Billy Goats Gruff, and each successive set of brothers becomes a hell of a lot taller — with the third wave, consisting of a single gruff nicknamed "Tiny" being about the size of a double-decker bus. Then Eldest Gruff shows up while Harry is hiding inside a building, and Harry levels his staff at the roof of the little shack. He hears Eldest thumping along as he approaches, and aims a little higher. Then, Eldest walks in. He's five feet tall. Five-two, tops.
Changes: "I took a slow breath and stepped past her, to face the king of the Red Court. He was kinda little."

Discworld:
The Light Fantastic: When Rincewind meets Cohen the Barbarian for the first time, he doesn't expect Cohen to be a senior citizen.
Also played with when he meets Cohen's daughter Conina. The whole town is looking for a mysterious master thief who turns out to be an attractive barbarian woman. Rincewind admits that she is different from what he had expected. It seems like we would get an Aesop about gender equality and not judging people based on looks but instead he just says that she's a bit taller than he imagined.
Played straight when Rincewind meets Coin the Sourcerer in Sourcery; Armed with naught but a half-brick in a sock, the wizzard goes up Coin's tower and finds out what the readers have known the entire book- that all-powerful, unmatched Sourcerer is just a little boy.
Big Fido, mysterious head of the short-lived Dog Guild in Men at Arms, is a toy poodle.
Taken to the extreme by Miss Butts, the headmistress of the Quirm College for Young Ladies in Soul Music. Her demeanor is so strict, domineering, and pervasive that most people don't realize she's short even when they meet her in person.

Nyarko offers to show Mahiro one of those more horrible forms, but says it'll probably drive him insane, so he declines. The gag is repeated in the second season, except that Nyarko's response is to offer to show Mahiro her "original form" — and start undressing, claiming that it's the form she was in when she was born.

Several generations after the events of the novels; where drones, artificial scanners, and aerial surveys have taken over the searches for emerging Malices; one character is taken aback when another opens a case she had under her jacket to reveal a bone knife with her name burned onto the blade (alongside the 'primed' one still required to put the creature they located down) because of this tropenote (Mallard 'Mal' Bluefield's great grandmother was a particularly sawed-off Farmer, and despite the full compliment of Lakewalker powers/lifespan/ability-to-empower-Sharing-Knives-with-her-own-death she missed out on their noticeably-taller-than-average height in favor of said matriarch's outright runt status).

Carmen Sandiego: When Zack and Ivy finally meet Player in person in "The Himalayan Rescue Caper", they both agree he's shorter in person than he looked in any of their video-chats with him. And then inverted later in the same episode, when he meets with Carmen in person for the first time, and comments that she's taller in real life.

Near the beginning of Ted, the titular teddy bear becomes a celebrity after coming to life and appears (digitally inserted via special effects) on The Tonight Show. Johnny Carson tells him "I thought you'd be taller," while Ted quips back "I thought you'd be funnier."

Corum:
Michael Moorcock's Corum is a member of a race called the Vadhagh, who are more advanced culturally than humans but still fairly humanlike. He still finds that Vadhagh in general, and Corum personally in particular, are very Shrouded in Myth and are believed to be as powerful as demigods. King Mannach even tells Corum that "I had expected to meet a being at least nine feet tall!"
Also inverted when Corum meets the Sidhe known as Goffanon the Dwarf, who he is expecting to be, well, dwarf-sized, but who turns out to be about eight feet tall. Which makes him a dwarf by Sidhe standards (Goffanon's brother Ilbrec is 16ft tall).

Averted and played straight in the Hurog series: When Ward finds out that the badass, who single-handedly killed some bandits, and only succumbed to severe injuries after all the bandits were dead, is a woman, he is completely unfazed - he knows her and has a crush on her. However, when Ward himself is introduced to some people who heard of his prowess in battle, they admit that they expected someone older.

One of the possible comments the Dragonborn can make when first meeting Delphine in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is "I was expecting someone... taller." One of the Companions makes a similar comment when the new Harbinger is announced at the end of that faction's questline.

Used frequently in Ghost Hunt, when people are surprised that Naru is president of SPR at only 17. This is later subverted when they attempt to disguise Naru's identity; Yasuhara (who is really a year or so older) poses as the president, and the client comments, "Yes, I heard you were very young."

Captain America: The First Avenger has a lot of fun with this trope.
When the short and sickly Steve Rogers shows up for the supersoldier experiment, everyone in the room stops dead in their tracks and falls silent.
A senator is holding a ceremony to award Rogers the Medal of Honor, but he's had enough of propaganda stunts and fails to turn up. Instead an aide comes on stage and whispers in the senator's ear, presumably informing him of this fact. In the audience is Stan Lee as a general, who mistakes the aide for Rogers and says he expected him to be taller.
Inverted when Steve's childhood friend Bucky sees him for the first time since he became a Super-Soldier.

In Suikoden II, Hoi's impersonating you, but his disguise falls flat when his "True Rune" (actually a bit of body painting) starts to dissolve. Cue one of the villagers admitting that Hoi's actually a little small to be the leader of the anti-Highwind forces. Now consider that Hoi isn't just larger than you, he's pretty hefty. (And that they mistook you for his accomplice...) No way are they going to realize that the genuine article is the genuine article.

Avatar: The Last Airbender:
Aang is supposedly a 112-year-old master of all elements. Thanks to being a Human Popsicle for a hundred years, he's really a 12-year-old kid who likes penguin sledding. This is commented on by Zuko the first time they come face to face:
In the sequel series, The Legend of Korra, Grandma Yin assumes the taller and classier Asami to be the Avatar.

Batman: Happens constantly with Batman. It's not so much that he's not as imposing or impressive as expected, just everyone seems to mention it. Even Tim Drake and Dick Grayson get told this on occasion! It's even funnier after Dick Grayson becomes Batman... he's actually four inches shorter than Bruce Wayne, so for once it's actually accurate.

And everyone's first reaction upon actually meeting Yuri is 'You?', since she is small, darkhaired and the complete opposite of what was considered true, gorgeous beauty at the time.

The bonus boss of Touhou Shinreibyou ~ Ten Desires is the youkai's trump card against the resurrected saint who served as the Final Boss. The four heroines of the game expected youkai such as the giant skeleton known as a Gashadokuro. Instead, they got Mamizou, a Tanuki. Granted, she's one of the strongest examples of her species and is as powerful as one would expect from a Superboss, but well, as Marisa put it...

In Class of the Titans, Jay was initially scared upon seeing Cronus, the brutal god of time plotting world domination, from a distance. Then he actually met Cronus, and realized he's just a high-school bully writ large, who relies on thugs (albeit supernatural monster thugs) to do his dirty work and loves the sound of his own voice. Hard to respect someone like that, however powerful they are.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!:
When the residents of Pop Star learn that a mighty Star Warrior is coming, Tiff pictures a handsome, sword-wielding hero vaguely similar to Roy. Instead, she gets... Kirby. Her imagined expectation literally shatters to pieces.
In one episode, Dedede's debts to NightMare Enterprises leads to them flagging Pop Star as a dumping ground for an alien species who frequently dump garbage on the planet surface. The Cappies worry that they'll be exterminated if they retaliate, picturing them as intimidating humanoid aliens. Upon seeing them in person, they're more or less different-colored Cappies who upon learning they were dumping on an inhabited planet, fervently apologise and promise never to do it again, instead opting for a much less messy alternative.
Used again when the NightMare Enterprises guy that sells Dedede the monsters is seen and turns out to have the same legless, stumpy feet as everybody else, despite looking as if he'd be humanoid and most likely really tall.

Watership Down: Happens in reverse order, when the Efrafans assume the Watership warren's chief rabbit must be enormous, if the formidable Bigwig follows his orders. They'd actually met Hazel-rah face to face, but took it for granted that he was just a messenger, as he's only average-sized. Justified because most rabbit chieftains attain their position through physical strength, not cunning and charisma as in Hazel's case.

In the Pokémon games, going from a game of the main series (in which sprites of most Pokémon with similar proportions are basically the same size) to one where they appear to scale may confuse most players when confronted with 'mons, especially fully-evolved ones, which appeared much bigger before.

In Willow, the group first encounters Finn Raziel, one of the world's most powerful witches, after she's been transformed into a possum by the Big Bad. The two Brownies name a whole bunch of things they were expecting instead, with taller being just one of them.

Inverted in Fate/Zero, where Waver Velvet was expecting his Servant, Rider (true name Alexander the Great), to be a lot shorter, as he was in reality. It's handwaved as historiographical garbling of the fact that he was short in comparison to his archrival, Darius III, who in the Fate franchise was a literal giant.

In Small Favor, Harry has been fighting the Billy Goats Gruff, and each successive set of brothers becomes a hell of a lot taller — with the third wave, consisting of a single gruff nicknamed "Tiny" being about the size of a double-decker bus. Then Eldest Gruff shows up while Harry is hiding inside a building, and Harry levels his staff at the roof of the little shack. He hears Eldest thumping along as he approaches, and aims a little higher. Then, Eldest walks in. He's five feet tall. Five-two, tops.

Touhou Project:
The bonus boss of Touhou Shinreibyou ~ Ten Desires is the youkai's trump card against the resurrected saint who served as the Final Boss. The four heroines of the game expected youkai such as the giant skeleton known as a Gashadokuro. Instead, they got Mamizou, a Tanuki. Granted, she's one of the strongest examples of her species and is as powerful as one would expect from a Superboss, but well, as Marisa put it...

Despite her loli appearance she's actually one year above them, so when Sajuna reveals that she has a younger sister, Marin gushes thinking she must be smaller and cuter than Sajuna. Turns out she's the complete opposite, much taller and more endowed.

In Deathstalker, Owen and Hazel seek out Jack Random, the legendary professional rebel, hero of a thousand campaigns against the Empire, whose name still commands respect and fear in several quarters. When they finally find him, he's a broken, shriveled old man, relying on battle drugs to give him the courage he needs to step back into the rebellion, and even then he's not sure he can do it. Owen and Hazel are less then impressed, and it's even rather nebulous for quite some time if he really is Jack Random, or an Imperial impostor or spy.

Long story short from the Danger Mouse episode "The Duel": DM and Penfold have been beamed aboard an alien spacecraft whose occupants address them in a big, booming voice. When DM looks down on the floor, he finds the aliens are no bigger than his big toe.

In a Winnie the Pooh Christmas special, Pooh fears he has made it impossible for the letter he and his friends wrote for Santa Claus to reach him, so he disguises himself as Santa in an attempt to rectify his mistake and get his friends the presents they wished for. Unlike Santa, Pooh isn't very stealthy; Tigger, Rabbit and Eeyore each notice him coming into their houses, and each comment on how they thought Santa would be taller. Of course, this is justified as Pooh is obviously not the real Santa and, being a teddy bear, can't be more than a foot or so tall.

Reborn! (2004): This tends to happen to Tsuna. He's supposed to be the 10th Generation Vongola Boss (against his will, of course), but he's only 14, and is very scrawny and rather pathetic looking. A lot of people say variations of this phrase, and find it generally hard to believe. Interestingly enough, this phrase isn't explicitly said by Spanner, but implied when he gets Tsuna some prisoner clothes, and remarks in surprise and exasperation that even size small is too big for him.

In Tales of the Questor, this is a gag when Quentyn visits a newspaper and meets the artist who drew the front page picture of himself, a raccoonmountain of a Questor. Somehow, having the artist go "Oh poop" at seeing how far off she was is hardly flattering. However, Kestrel, Quentyn's friend, tells him that he might as well appreciate the misapprehension as an advantage to thwart his enemies' expectations.

An indirect example: In one episode of the Hercules: The Animated Series, the Evil Plan of King Midas involves stealing the winged shoes of Hermes and using them himself. But he has some difficulty putting them on, and wonders how a god can have such small feet...

In God of War (PS4), when first confronting Kratos, the Stranger remarks that he thought Kratos would be taller. Keep in mind that Kratos is already about a head taller than him. It's Foreshadowing that unlike what the scene implies, Baldur doesn't know that Kratos is a Greek God but rather thinks Kratos is a Frost Giant.

In Otto of the Silver Hand, eleven-year-old Otto is kidnapped by Baron Henry's knights and imprisoned in Castle Trutz-Drachen because of a feud between Henry and Otto's father. Henry's eight-year-old daughter Pauline visits Otto in his cell and comments, "I thought that thou wert a great tall fellow at least, and here thou art a little boy no older than Carl Max, the gooseherd."

In the How to Train Your Dragon fan fiction A Thing of Vikings, due to Hiccup's reputation as 'The Hero of Berk', people assume he is some large Viking warrior with bulging muscles and not someone short and slender. Inverted with Hiccup's father Stoick when people meet Hiccup first like Viggo and his crew.

Doctor Who: In multi-Doctor episodes, the earlier Doctors tend to be unimpressed with their "replacements":
In "The Three Doctors", the First Doctor calls Two and Three "A dandy and a clown" (not necessarily in that order).
In "The Day of the Doctor", the War Doctor initially thinks Ten and Eleven are his future companions because of their youth:
In "Twice Upon a Time", the First Doctor struggles to accept that Twelve is a future incarnation, ironically for the opposite reason as in the previous example: he looks too old.
In "The Seeds of Doom", the scientists who discover the Krynoid pod expect the UNIT specialist to be some old crank who's been dug out of retirement. When Tom Baker turns up...

AdventureQuest Worlds uses this trope and lampshades it at the same time in the conclusion of the Vordred storyline, where upon meeting Artix he remarks. 'I always thought you'd be taller...and have a deeper voice.' To which Artix responds 'Yeah I get that a lot.'. This gets repeated when Gravelyn meets Artix for the first time in her ending to the Doomwood saga.

Braveheart: After introducing himself to an army, William Wallace gets heckled by a soldier who says he'd heard that the real Wallace is seven feet tall. Wallace counters sarcastically, "Yes, I've heard. Kills men by the hundreds. And if he were here, he'd consume the English with fireballs from his eyes, and bolts of lightning from his arse." The real Wallace is traditionally thought to be a giant of a man particularly for his time period, approaching seven feet tall, while actor Mel Gibson is of average height. This sequence explains the disparity away as Wallace being Shrouded in Myth.

The Legend of Zelda (Akira Himekawa):
In the adaptation of Majora's Mask, a band of soldiers hear of this great swordsman who has the Ocarina of Time and are hoping to beat him, but instead get the child Link. Their leader does warn them about appearances, accepts Link and allows him to train with them, whereupon he trumps them all.
In The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords (2004), the bandit Jago is shocked that the “Left-Handed Hero� who defeated him and his men is a young teenager.

In Flashman and the Redskins, Flashy is saved from death at the hands of the Apache by none other than Kit Carson. Carson takes it upon himself to take care of Flashy, travel with him, etc. At one point they're somewhere public when a man comes barging in; he had heard that the great Kit Carson was around and wanted to shake his hand. The small, mild, diffident Carson steps up, while the tall, stalwart Flashy remains in the background. The man can't believe Carson is so small—so Carson gives an almost imperceptible nod to Flashy, at which point the man rushes over and shakes Flashy's hand (and sneers at Carson for trying to fool him). Other Mountain Men hanging around can't stop laughing.

In Yu-Gi-Oh! the last arc focuses on the heroes going into the past to recover the Pharaoh's memories. A new character named Bobasa helps them, and in the dub when he meets Atem he remarks the Pharaoh is shorter than he was expecting. People often say this about Yugi in the dub mostly, as it's implied that when possessed by the Pharaoh he looks taller or carries himself that way.

In the Suikoden games, this comes up a couple of times.
In Suikoden, some early townspeople will share rumors that Odessa, the leader of La Résistance, is some kind of nine-feet-tall ogre. While Odessa is right there in your party, and completely unnoticed by the townspeople.
In Suikoden II, Hoi's impersonating you, but his disguise falls flat when his "True Rune" (actually a bit of body painting) starts to dissolve. Cue one of the villagers admitting that Hoi's actually a little small to be the leader of the anti-Highwind forces. Now consider that Hoi isn't just larger than you, he's pretty hefty. (And that they mistook you for his accomplice...) No way are they going to realize that the genuine article is the genuine article.

League of Legends: Poppy is a champion, on an long quest to find the true Hero of Demacia to give him a magic hammer. Being a very responsible and capable girl, she murdered every bandit, beast and monster she encountered as she wandered all across Demacia for centuries. In the story Slayer, she pursues rumors of herself and encounters the statue of herself without realizing it. Of course, the statue portrays her as a seven feet tall man rippling with sharply defined muscles while Poppy is three and a half feet tall Yordle, so it's an understandable mistake.

The Riftwar Cycle has a couple:
In Prince of the Blood, this is Prince Erland's first reaction upon meeting the Empress of Kesh, as she's a tiny, ordinary-looking elderly woman. Of course, since she's also the most powerful ruler in the world, he doesn't say anything about it.
A Crown Imperiled has the leader of the civilized Pantathians say this upon encountering Pug, who they knew mostly through the results of his attempt at exterminating them half a century earlier.
Pug also gets this in Magician's End from a leader of the Dark Elves.

Star Wars Legends:
X-Wing Series: Wedge Antilles and Ysanne Isard had been enemies for years before they finally met. Wedge is an Ace Pilot, so he doesn't need to be big, but... well, he is pretty short. Corran Horn also gets this a lot, being about 5' 4".
In Luke Skywalker and the Shadows of Mindor, Nick Rostu is surprised to find that Luke is Anakin's son; Luke is visibly smaller than Anakin was, about five foot seven to Anakin's pre-suit six foot two. Luke tells him that he takes after his mother.

Evangeline A. K. McDowell of Negima! Magister Negi Magi was aged up to be a teen/young adult during her more infamous years as a vampire. People aware of her infamy are puzzled to find out that the woman with a $6,000,000 bounty on her head is a doll-like 10 year old girl.

In the Hong Kong film Duel to the Death, legendary swordsman Ching Wan passes through a city and sees an artist drawing a portrait of what the artist imagines Ching Wan looks like. When Ching Wan tells the artist that the portrait looks nothing like the real thing, (without revealing who he is) the artist responds by going on about all the attributes the portrait has and declares that of course a warrior like Ching Wan would look exactly like the portrait.

Black Cat: This happens occasionally to Train Heartnet — mostly in the manga. Having been the strongest member of Chronos and a legendary and feared assassin, many people are shocked when they find out how young he is. Of course, an extreme example of this occurs when Train gets transformed into a child after getting hit with the Lucifer bullet. Chronos assassins who want to kill him are rather shocked when he claims to be the Black Cat.

Beck is disappointed to find that Stephen is "meager, shabby, undistinguished", and wearing blue spectacles. Stephen promptly tells him how he personally killed the two dangerous French spies in the area, and hands over all the American Intelligence Chief's personal papers.

Dragon Ball Z: Happens quite a lot due to the nature of a shonen anime about 'training to get stronger'.
Goku gives a particularly boastful one when he first sees Frieza's Final Form. He soon comes to regret those words.
At the beginning of the Android saga, when Future Trunks has warned the Z Fighters that the Androids in his timeline slaughtered everyone and destroyed the world. When they finally show up, the Z Fighters prove more than a match for them, even though Goku nearly dies of a heart virus. (Although it does turn out that these were not the Androids they were looking for. When they finally do show up, they beat the Z Fighters in short order.)
When Vegeta goes through the training of his life to face Cell, he outclasses him so much that he is disappointed about how weak the supposed 'perfect warrior' is.
He still has the same attitude once he allows Cell to become perfect, even commenting that Cell 'just got smaller', and wonders why Cell made such a big deal out of becoming perfect. This time, he is sorely mistaken.
Vegeta does the same thing again after Majin Buu hatches, after the Supreme Kai described him as an ultimate evil power— Vegeta senses that both he and Goku have higher energy than the newly hatched Buu. Goku knows that he is hiding something, though.

Used a few times in the Baldur's Gate series:
In the first game, after finishing Chapter 2, people will start mentioning 20-foot-tall heroes in response to the events of that chapter.
In the final chapter, one of the assassins sent after you is an ogre called Larze, who has seen a picture of your face but is otherwise unaware of how you look and act. The player character can use his/hers at that point rather embellished reputation to claim that you're not yourself, since you're not eight feet tall with glowing eyes and a voice that booms as the heavens, causing the ogre to leave to get a better look at the picture.
Done twice in the second game. After starting the Mage Stronghold sidequest, the wizard who teleports in to meet you says that he "thought you'd be taller." Also, when talking to the not-quite leader of the Shadow Thieves guild, he'll say that he " was expecting someone... grander" in response to what he's heard about the PC. CHARNAME can even comment on the fact that he's fairly pleasant for someone with the name "Bloodscalp". There's no option to act offended though, even if you're playing as a halfling.

When Shuji from Durarara!! set out to interview the most fearsome man in Ikebukuro, he was expecting to find a large, over-muscled monster of a man covered in scars and tattoos. What he got was Shizuo, a slim, quiet young man who insisted that he hated violence. Of course, nobody told Shuji that Shizuo had both a Hair-Trigger Temper and Super-Strength, and thus Shuji found himself tossed around like a baseball after asking exactly one too many questions. Ironically, Shuji notes that the only thing that did match his mental image of Shizuo was that he was just about as tall as he expected.

Revenge of the Sith: General Grievous and Anakin Skywalker use this as a back-and-forth insult; Grievous remarks that he Anakin to be older based on his renown, while Anakin quips that Greious is shorter than he expected. Anakin's comeback comes across as slightly bizarre, as even when hunched over Grievous completely towers over him, but then again Anakin is only using it to piss him off.note The line itself provides a minor amount of creative writing in Star Wars: The Clone Wars, where the two are often on the same ship or in dogfights but never meet face-to-face, in order to facilitate this exchange.

In the Belisarius Series, this is Valentinian's first impression of Raghunath Rao, one of India's greatest warriors: "The most ordinary looking fellow he had ever seen! Shortish...getting a little long in the tooth...well-built—no fat on those muscles—but he's no Hercules like Eon." Then he sees Rao move (casually jumping down a ten-foot drop), and is reminded why Rao is nicknamed "The Panther of Majarashtra".

The Batman:
In the episode "Riddled", this is the Riddler's initial reaction when he meets Detective Yin as the one who "solved" his riddle in the episode's opening. This is justified later, as he had set up the whole thing specifically for Batman.
This is how Joker reacts when he meets Batgirl for the first time in the episode "Brawn". The fact that he is several times her size at the moment, thanks to using Bane's Venom apparatus on himself, isn't helping.

An odd example happens in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Haven". Troi's fiancé (it's an Arranged Marriage) was clearly expecting her to look differently when he first sees her. Later, the explanation makes things clear; he has been getting telepathic messages from a woman and, because Troi is telepathic, he had assumed they were from her. They were actually from someone else entirely.
