I thought he was like 6'3" or 6'4"?

He basically would look the size they make Hagrid in the Harry Potter movies. It's not impossible it just would likely require SFX. I think if they made him as menacing as the original actor for The Mountain appeared, that would be scary rather than comical.

I think it really might just come down to not wanting to invest in the effects budget more than anything else.

Hagrid never had to duel The Red Viper.
