The Dresden Files > DF Books
Perfect Casting Part Three
PJKats:
After recently seeing the movie, Divergent, I'm voting for Theo James as Harry. I was stunned when I saw him onscreen as he is the image of the Harry Dresden that I have in my head. Of course, he needs a few inches of height but 6' 1" isn't too bad. Also, my image of Harry has thinner lips. I love the 'resonant baritone' of Theo's voiced as well.
I'd post a photo but I just can 't figure out how to do that on my smart phone. Hey, I'm old... ;D
Quantus:
I always pictured Mai is waaay older than those. Even with make-up they would seem too physically robust. Maiis always described as seemingly eggshell frail. And while most of the rest of the SC would fall in the robust-middle-age to active-retirement-age, Mai is stuck in my head as being well past 70, in terms of appearance. This doesnt quite fit with her initial description of having "delicate features only lightly touched by the passage of years, though her dark eyes were rheumy" but it's pretty well stuck in my mind.
Not unlike how Morgan was a tall black man for the longest time, thanks to the TV show

I never saw any of the TV episodes until after having read the books. Don't remember how many were out then, but was not favorably impressed with the TV version. But then that pretty much applies to whatever I see on TV on the very rare occasions when I'm subjected to it (don't know how to turn my wife's TV on, and am quite content with that). But the image that stuck in my head for Morgan was that of Lani Tupu in his role as the "Peacekeeper" on Farscape (got a DVD of a few episodes of that).
I didn't ask for that image to be there. It just was. Just like no matter how hard I try, the Naagloshii looks like Jim Carey in a yellow Grinch suit with claws.

...Thanks, that will be his new look in my mind from now on. Congrats, Mr Carey, you are now chewing off the fingers of beautiful women in my mind. And you thought Kick Ass 2 was bad... :-\
