Likewise. Hen's the mental picture of Jessica Beil.  Mostly as she appeared in Blade 3.

Yeah, Blade 3 Beil with a little more boob is pretty much my mental Molly body type.

This is how I see Molly, except more muscular.  As I've noted before, this picture is about fourteen years old, but I think this look would do for teenage Molly.

   I agree that Fairuza Balk, in her prime, would have made an.... Interesting Molly.  Now, though i am not sure which one, I would love to see her play one of Harry's Villianesses. I think it would give a cool and creepy vibe to whatever role... The kind of girl you Hate to Love.

But if they could find someone that could pull off a similar look to that, it would be great for Molly.  Especially teenage Molly.

I haven't read a description of Molly Carpenter in ages, but isn't she a blonde or strawberry blonde?  I've always pictured her kind of like a teenage Julianne Nicholson.

Yeah, she typically has cotton candy colored hair. :)

Most of the recent ones its been blond with a stripe of color.

.....the last stripe I remember was blue.  If that's correct, I wonder if that is foreshadowing.

Here are a few references.  I think there are more.  Almost every time he describes her wild hair color, he describes her natural hair color.

DB reference - pg. 153 (still living at home, hasn't gone full rebel yet)

I say again.  A minor detail under all the other colors.  But if it's that important, there are bleach kits.

Besides:  I was talking about the general look, not just the hair, and I'm sure the dye job was different before she became Harry's apprentice.

OK, like this, with the hair color being dyed/bleached to a strawberry blonde.  ;D  Besides, redheads are often rebellious, with tatoos and piercings and wild hair, and Julienne sure seems to be a natural redhead.  So, she fits.

Abigail Klein for lily or older Molly
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4183307/

Laura Vandervoort for Maeve or lily
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0888882/

Lucas Bryant for harry maybe
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1674903/

I like Abigail Klein.  Don't know if she can act, since I've never seen her in anything.

I like Laura Vandervoort.  If she plays one of the Fae, Helena Mattsson could play her sister.
   

I've mentioned Lucas Bryant before, because he's decently tall, lanky, and has the right complexion.  But his eyes seem really soft and watery, and I can't seem him doing a good angry/pissed.  He hasn't really done that well on Haven.

A lot can be done to mess someone up with makeup.  But I still like Ben Browder for it.
