Ah.  Right.  I wonder who Brian Jackson is?

Per Wikipedia either a 70's musician or an American Football player.  Either of those ring any bells?

How about Matthew perry of Friends fame for Harry if the DF ever went the episodic Game of Thrones route?  He was always able to take a beating

Harry can be a bit of a spaz, remember the lacuna interactions.  The intimidation factor you speak of is the main concern as well as being too identifiable with another character.

I think they're talking about the nearly nude conversation with Lacuna in the bedroom. Harry was nervous chattering.

Id be nervious if I found a barbie doll that had recently almost killed my standing there debating the philosphpic role of cloths, while also casually offering to peel open my skull...

Make no mistake: Lacuna is creepy as all hell, she just happens to be small enough that we naturally find her less threatening (foolish us  :P)

Stole this from Reginald because it was so well put, and is true for me as well.

I'm in favor of casting with an eye on age. If done as a series, over time the actors/actresses will get older and eventually even makeup can't fake it.

I like the idea of watching the actors grow older along with the characters. Something they did well in the Harry Potter series.

It's a problem.  The age range for the characters is fifteen plus years

It's easier to make a person look older with makeup then to make them look younger.

It's also a problem in that they would need to age differently.  For example: Older wizards would need to be static, Carpenter kids would need to change far more with far less screen time.  Harry would need to eventually start looking like the older brother, something he's even remarked on in the books.  The alpha's start as pudgy college nerds and become fitness model looking, across the board.

Especially with children, it's easier to do with age appropriate actors than using older actors. Its' not easy to cast like that, but if it can be done it would be best for the series overall. IMHO
