He can pass for an Italian without problems

There are many horrible sights in the multiverse. Somehow, though, to a soul attuned to the subtle rhythms of a library, there are few worse sights than a hole where a book ought to be. Someone has stolen a book (Terry Pratchett)

Personally, my opinion on casting is basically: the best actor or actress available who can play the role well. Matching the physical description is basically just a bonus. It's not like someone being a dead match for Murphy would necessarily be able to play Murphy convincingly.

I just want an adaptation that understands and respects the source material and stays true to it, without feeling like they have to reinvent or "improve" certain parts of it.

I've never been that convinced Marcone is even Italian and I'm pretty sure we have WoJ that Marcone isn't even his name.

I 100% agree with this.  As long as however plays Harry is taller then whoever plays Murphy and they are good actors then I see no issues.
