Isn´t Tera a ginger?
Nah, she was dark of skin and hair with a silver streak. 

I'm a little partial to Tonantzin Carmelo or Julia Jones, but I'm willing to keep an open mind.

Weird, I distinctly remember everyone in this forum speculating about how the red haired boy who heard ghosts was his son (I believe so) and one of the arguments was his hair matching hers. I am confused. I pictured her dark blonde in Fool moon.

I can't imagine her as a black woman.

I've heard the parentage theory, but I think the red hair came from MacFinn's side. He wasn't a red-head either, but I think it's more likely a recessive gene from his bloodline. (if the theory is correct)

So Tera should be heterozygote too. Well, I'll keep having my mental image of Tera.

Her descriptions didn't suggest she was white.  Filipino or Thai, if anything, but Ms. Mumba is close enough to those phenotypes to pull it off.  Particularly the part about mesmerizing cops on a stakeout by dancing naked.  Yow wow!

She is, as far as the text is concerned, a wolf. Her implied race from the book is the least important thing to get right.

That said, I would shoot for a Native actress, since most of the popular theories have her as a Coyote scion.

I thought just the opposite. Because she is a wolf, her hair and skin are very important. Since I am a biologist, I never thought in any human ancestry, only in wolves colors.

Except the Alphas are taught by Tera to transform into what they imagine werewolves to look like. Conversely, since she uses the same technique, she transforms into what she imagines humans look like. Her palette, as it were, aren't limited to naturalistic wolf tones.

I don't know if this got mentioned for the soundtrack, but with a line like, "if a house gets in my way, you know I'll burn it down", no Dresden film would be complete without Stranglehold by Ted Nugent.

That said, I would shoot for a Native actress, since most of the popular theories have her as a Coyote scion.

But her description isn't consistent with being pale-skinned, blond and blue-eyed.  She was dark-skinned, had dark brown-grey hair, and--IIRC--brown eyes (actually said amber eyes that could just barely qualify as brown--i.e. wolf eyes).  And when I suggested Will Smith for Harry's role, the village mob got out the torches and pitchforks--despite the fact JB himself has made the same suggestion...

But as for Coyote, while wolves and coyotes do hybridize, it's primarily due to the wholesale elimination of the former.  I think there are wolf-spirit entities that would probably be closer to the role you've suggested, and they occur in Celtic as well as North American Native tradition.  Since allegedly St. Patrick was the one who cursed Harley MacFinn's ancestor (and I think 'Fitz' is a Celtic word), might be worth looking into.

Of course, if Jim gave that description in the book she should be portrayed by a dark skinned woman. I was only laughing at myself because I've reread FM at least 7 times and never changed my mental image of her. I even thought (wrongly) that the forums has told that she was a ginger and it didn't affect my mind either.

I like your cast, except for Russell Crowe. I don't like him and Michael is one of my favorite characters, so no.
Don't like Russell. Who would you choose?

I find pretty much anything and everything complete without hearing anything from or by Ted Nugent.
