Harry Dresden: Maybe, but he seems a bit old unless we start a ways down the line. I was under the impression Harry was hitting maybe 30 in

Jim has stated before that Harry's age during Welcome to The Jungle/Storm Front is somewhere around his mid-twenties. This is based on the fact that he left McCoy's farm for Chicago at the age of 18 or 19, then spent about four years doing odd jobs, three years of which were working under Nick Christian at Ragged Angel Investigations in order to receive his PI license.
Priscellie has done an extensive time line regarding the Dresdenverse, and as she's one of Jim's betas, she would know the situation. Well, what Jim tells her of it, anyway :) Series Timeline
MoSeS:
Timeline or not, in reality casting this now would be moot (but it's fun).
There are already 12 books out, so if you made 1 movie for each book you would be facing a Harry Potter situation. Look how much Daniel Radcliffe has aged from start to finish, the movies barely keep up. Granted there is make-up and stuff.
If they actually made a movie for each book we would be looking at something like 24+ years of movies if they rushed them (spent less than a year on each one). I think Jim has 24 books planned for the series.
If they started the movies now, they can get the first half of the movies finished by the time the last book is released.

I will review some of the suggestions on the other threads too, though I have already shot down tons of them like Eric Bana, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, etc.
Throw me some suggestions for Harry Dresden, then we can trickle it down to other characters. Casting Harry is going to effect how Thomas Raith is cast also, because Thomas is suppose to resemble Harry, except a bit shorter and a better physique of course.

Yes, the whole point is that the content is generated by the board, like an election. Candidates get nominated if they have sufficient following, and then they enter the vote-offs. If you've been to GameFAQS, they have an annual character battle which is a good system to use.
Shot down Hugh Jackman!? *sigh* He's my personal fav for the role.

Where is my None of the Above choice
Though Having seen Gerard Butler in a ton of stuff lately, I think he could pull it off. if he was taller.
Vash the white:
oded would make a great gate keeper, add some scars and your good, he is decently aged anyways, you have to remeber he did the mummy awhile ago, and he looks a little different now, add some make up an volia! plus he does dark mysterious and cool well.
