For Murphy I always thought of Kristin Bell (Sarah Marshall in Forgetting Sarah Marshall). She has the look and stature (she's 5'1") for Murphy if you could get her toned up some to make the martial arts scenes plausible. The other suggestions I see for Murphy are good ones.

Harry is tougher. Jared Padalecki from Supernatural has the height and some of the look. His voice doesn't scream Harry though. For Harry you need someone tall and young. Best case with 20 books and TV series on say HBO/Showtime you'll be trying to go through 3 books a season. Which equates to 7 years and a wizard that shouldn't be seen to age that much. So someone in their mid, possibly late, 20's is what you would want.

Anthony Hopkins for Nicodemus is good, but I'd go with Jeremy Irons personally...

No, Liam Nesson has to play Malcolm Dresden so he can't play Nicodemus... can he? ;)

I vote Brooklyn Decker as Molly.

Agree

I had this idea the other day that can't be confirmed till we actually MEET her, but I thought Titania should be darker skinned (y'know, Winter=pale white, Summer=tan/dark).  Following that thought process, what do you think of HER as Titania:



(that would be Gina Torres, folks.  Y'know, Zoe from Firefly for any geeks unawares ;^)  )

and if she's Titania, I think- again following the same idea for casting as above- that we have HER as Mother Summer:



That would be an actress by the name of CCH Pounder.  If you're unfamiliar with her work, I highly recommend you check her out.  I think she'd make a FANTASTIC Mother Summer (we'd have to age her a bit, of course) to Gina's Titania.

I actually have to agree with both of you. Allison from the first years of Smallville would've been a perfect Molly, but she's closer to the age of Murphy now.  I don't think she's QUITE old enough to play Murphy yet, but still good pick.

Never thought of that before, but I like your idea.
Also, Hellen Mirren for Mother Winter. Because Hellen Mirren is awesome. And looks way too good for her age to be a normal mortal. Or Mother Summer if Esperacchius' idea doesn't pan out.

James Franco - not pretty enough for Thomas.
Sean Connery - too old for Michael and he's stopped acting.
Tilda Swinton - please not - she's just a bit too odd and bony for Gard.

Ah, Uriel has dark skin.

james-there are very few pretty boys who are badass, i couldn't come up with another
Sean- i know, he'd have to be deaged
Tilda- it kinda makes sense though. think the white witch from narnia

uriel- and yet you didn't comment on will smith or taye diggs- not to mention he's an angel
