How about Marcia Cross as Lea?

She's got the eyes that are hard to trust.  My votes are usually Melinda Clark or Christina Hendricks.  But whomever it is has to be able to play Batshit crazy properly.  Truth is I really see Lea as a 70's era Maureen O'Hara (Big Jake Vintage), so whomever is closest to that in modern times.  Needs to be a believable if not necessarily natural redhead, with the proper amount of Resting Bitch Face

Yeah, I could go with Christina Hendricks too.  I thoroughly lusted after her on Mad Men.  :-)

Has anyone suggested Dianna Agron for Molly?

Not that I remember, but that's a great one.

I know this is an old thread, and its hard to look through 49 pages worth of posts.  But to me Dean Winchester (Jensen Ackles) is basically Harry Dresden (at least in the first couple of seasons, except he's a lot smoother with the ladies).  he's got the snark on lockdown, if you could combine his snark with Padaleckis height and awkwardness, I think that would be the perfect Harry

I think the Kirlian Camera band members are perfect for Nic, Deirdre and a random denarian in this video. Even the lyrics work for it. (they are italian, so english is not a strong suit) They are just spending a lovely afternoon considering how to save the world, obviously.

Open the door to Satan
and now I'm feeling his knife on me,
on my skin.
He bought me roses,
like a gentleman he causes me a fire.
Euphoria calls my star.
Suddenly my skies are lost
a strong thunder's going across
every boundary with lies.
Someone took and kicked me out,
my nerves like sketches of light.
Close your rays to me.
I feel my own gloom
just on your mouth, into your heart
close my eyes.
But you locked up your white gate.
Satan was in front of my face
no flames around him
while his charm pushed me down.
Stratch my heart to the ground,
drive me to your desire.
I'm like an angel without chains,
killer of straight delight.
In my bright house of despair
like a shadow I scream my rage.

Ah, yeah - Aly Michalka works as Molly for sure.  I've just felt, though, that there are probably lots of gals that would work as Molly.  Only a few of the characters seem to have "obvious" castings to me.  Jared Padalecki as Harry had crossed my mind before

I've thought of this before too, I think he could do great, but he might be too 'pretty' for it.   Though I sometimes think Harry is a pretty boy if we weren't reading everything from his POV.

Sadly, he and Aly are too close in age to cast them both!

[Quantus]

Ya, if I were to go in the general direction of Padaleki, I think I'd commit more fully and go with Eric Balfour.  He's less traditionally pretty, and his character on Haven might as well have been Harry, especially during the angry Lash years.

He's actually my general pick for Young Harry (SF era) whereas modern Harry is stuck with Michael Fassbender for me.  It's important to me that whomever gets Thomas is a believably "more pretty" sibling to Harry.  Fassbender gets Matt Bomer, Balfour gets Reeve Carney

I've always thought Balfour was a good choice. Dorian Gray is not a bad choice but I think Bomer is the perfect Thomas. Completely.
I don't approve Fassbender, too pretty for Harry

[Foxed]

Just watched The OA. Aside from my questionable taste in fantasy, I thought Brit Marling could be a good Lea (red hair dye is a dime a dozen), and that Brandon Perea could be Carlos.

Also really want Jason Isaac in there somewhere. Marcone, maybe?

[KipIngram]

I have a really hard time not getting fixated on Ray Stevenson for Marcone.  More or less precisely as he was presented as Isaak Sirko in Dexter.  Sans the Russian traits, of course.  Perfect combo of suave businessman and incredibly dangerous.

[GeSar]

This is probably due to the tapes more than anything, but honestly I'd love to see James Marsters as Marconie.

Honestly the hardest part I have with harry is finding something that fits my view of disarmingly bungle, and terrifying powerful.   You kind of need someone that can pull of a clark kent/superman thing without ever changing custom.

For what it's worth, here's a few of my thoughts on potential actors / actresses;

Harry Dresden - Billy Burke
Karrin Murphy - Katie Sackhoff
Donald Morgan - Clive Russell
Ebenezar McCoy - Michael Hogan
Susan Rodriguez - Jessica Paré
Thomas Raith - Glenn Howerton
Michael Carpenter - Timothy Olyphant
Molly Carpenter - Miley Cyrus
Bob (voice) - Charlie Day
John Marcone - Tom Sizemore
Leanansidhe - Lena Headey
The Archive (Ivy) - Millie Bobby Brown
Waldo Butters - Joe Lo Truglio
Jared Kincaid - Josh Holloway
Old Lucio - Jamie Lee Curtis
Young Lucio - Emma Roberts
Binder - Mark A. Sheppard

I agree or would be more or less ok with almost all of them, specially Ivy. But Thomas needs to be much prettier than that man, I insist Matt Bomer is the best option but if not  should be somebody on that level.

He's pretty enough certainly, but for me it was a toss-up between Glenn Howerton and Taylor Kitsch purely because they can both have that little bit of arrogance about them - a sort of "Yeah, I know exactly how good I look" air about them.
