to get it just perfect you'd need to dicker around with the years but

Ernie Hudson as Rawlings- so perfect. I hadn't thought of him until you wrote that but perfect.
Denver Pyle - Ebeneezer. 
Morgan Freeman- as uriel (I think this is a given)
Anthony Hopkins as The merlin

Harry- Harrison Ford crica 1985- the confidence smarts and look of 'oh no' when it doesn't work, most people know he gives good glower but spielburg remembers he's great when he grins.

Lee Pace might make a good Harry. Plus, he is 6'5."

If I were going to go with an older start for Harry ( 30's rather than 20's) I'd say Ben Barnes has the look more than Lee Pace.  He's only 6'1", but I'd sacrifice a few inches for the right look.  And he's played a dark role well twice now that I've seen.  He's got a solid screen presence.

I agree. Lee Pace has too much a "nice guy" face. Harry needs a darker face.

To me Marcone is not stolid and grouchy.  I would cast Adam Baldwin.  I mean I know he is blacklisted for political reasons but is not the Hero of Canton worthy of a second chance?

This might seem odd.

But what about Levar Burton as Uriel?

I think I'd prefer Uriel to appear as someone different each time.  Morgan Freeman the first time, and then whatever actor or actress they can get.  Maybe CGI the eyes to always be the same vibrant color to make identification easy.

I could get behind that, though it also makes sense to me to it like the books where he settled to a specific for when interacting openly with Harry, though the "Jake" appearance would obviously be different.

It'd be slightly interesting to me if Uriel appears to people as they expect an angel to appear, onet they know who they are.  When Harry didn't know Uriel from a janitor, he appeared as someone Harry expected to be there at that time.  After Harry knew, though, Harry's preconception was applied. (A bit like Sandman/Morpheus in that)

But I'd prefer Uriel be of no specific gender or race.

Harry Dean Stanton would have made a good Uriel-janitor.
