But you said it yourself that in the books Carlos is roughly Molly's age (about 5-6 years older). But if you compare the two there is a world of difference in thier personality and maturity levels that I just don't think would come across if they were made to be around the same age.
I don't think Harry being involved with Luccio would be as huge of a problem, as actresses in thier early 20s playing roles that involve them hooking up with men in thier 30s isn't too uncommon on tv (Supernatural is a good example). In fact im fairly certain that women above the age of 30 are only allowed on tv in rare instances. If you get an actress with the right amount of maturity it shouldn't be an issue.

Carlos isnt exactly a picture of maturity and ages wisdom here. I mean, he knows when to get serious and put his game face on, but the rest of the time he is a cocky loudmouth, and that only goes over well if he is a young, cocky loudmouth. Otherwise he comes accross as just an arrogant ass. No question that he is more mature than Molly, but molly is less mature than her years in many ways. By contrast Carlos is the youngest warden to ever be named Regional Commander. They are on opposite ends of the maturity spectrum to be sure, but are supposed to be part of the same general Generation. If you age him up to Harry's age, you distance them too much, and loose the mechanism for a lot of the Warden interplay.

Couldn't much the same be said of Harry; if you replace "cocky" with "sarcastic"?

Probably depends on the person, but I find that no matter how sarcastic a person is, that is very rarely as obnoxious as a person who is constantly going on and on and on about how great they are at every little thing. Like Carlos does.
Rasins:
What would you guys think of Michael Weatherly as Harry?
He's filled out a bit in the last few years, but he's snarky with that edge of seriousness to him.
