My two cents:

Harry Dresden - Zachary Quinto

Karrin Murphy - Brea Grant, Sarah Michelle Gellar or maybe Summer Glau?

Thomas Raith - Brandon Routh?

Leahnansidhe - Famke Jansen, Christine Hendricks?

Michael Carpenter - Ewan McGreggor

John Marcone - Liam Neissan?

Susan Rodriegeze - Erica Cerra

Billy Borden - Josh Hutcherson?

Kincaid - Bradley Cooper

Nicodemus - Patrick Stewart

Reminds me of years ago when I was discussing who should play who in the Harry Potter movies.

My only real issues with these are that
  A) Brandon Routh is too big to be Thomas,
  B) Ewan McGregor is too small to be Michael, and
  C) I've never pictured Nic as bald or that old.  I have no doubt Stewart could play it well, but at 71, I think he'd be a better Merlin, except again for the hair situation.

Ha. And just a little while ago people shook their fingers at me when I wanted a tall guy to play Dresden.

Woah, I'm a huge Who fan, and it took me a minute or two before I convinced myself that was David Tennant.  His face looks odd at that angle.

Man, I wish that couple every happiness, but they have to have the most weirdly fandomcestuous relationship ever.  Remember when the Doctor's daughter who played the Doctor's daughter in "The Doctor's Daughter" had the Doctor's daughter? :D
And the doctor's daughter's mother is Trillion.

Whoa, that's David Tennant - didn't even recognize him.
Hey mdodd, I'm still a Who fan but I haven't watched it for years - so I only know
bits and pieces of what's going on or who is WHO so to speak. ::)
Snow, I wasn't trying to be snarky. I did discuss with Shades as to whether you were old school like myself. The Child Genius is a huge Dr Who and Primeval fan, so I watch the 21st Century Who with her. I still think Genesis of the Daleks is still the best story ever and Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen as the best pairing.

Hey, I didn't think you were being snarky, mdodd.
Sorry if I came across so.
Cracked tooth may have me more cranky than I think.

That would depend entirely on if he's willing to leave Johnny Depp out of it. I'm sorry, but no Depp, not in the Dresden Files, and especially not with the unholy duo of Depp & Burton. I like some of their work, but I think more often then not whatever they make ends up as a caricature of itself rather than a serious work.

Tim Burton does not work well with other people's material. He's a talented director but I don't want him within a mile of The Dresden Files.

While I can see why it would be good to dwell on, I agree that he wouldn't be the best route to go down.
