The Dresden Files > DF Books
Perfect Casting Part Three
Amber:
Husband and I decided that if they get to do a live-action TV show, they should see if Blackthorn would come in to play Harry's dad in his few scenes & memories.

Harry has to be tall, at least an inch or four over 6 feet, and Thomas has to be shorter, but not short. There should be a noticeable height difference between them.
I know that might prove to be very hard to do, but it would make the series more consistent with the books if they do.

With you so very much. Harry has to tower over everyone. I would not be above achieving this with camera tricksery, Peter Jackson style, but it'd be awesomer if they just found a really, really tall actor who could pull Harry off.

Even if they could afford to do the sort of tricks it took to pull off LotR, it would not leave anything left for all that magic and junk. I would prefer that they find similarly heighted actors in a relative sense, but it's a pretty low priority. Lets face it, the height differences rarely if ever have any impact on plot, we just love it because that and chivalry are the primary source of flirtatious interaction between Murphy and harry and so we dont want to loose it.
By contrast it was far more integral to the characters and their interactions that Wolverine had a Napoleon Complex and Cyclops was a full foot taller than him, aiding their antagonism. But in hindsight I would far rather the actor fit the more central needs of the character, even if the minor details (height, hair/eye color, etc) arent perfect, and I cant imagine anyone doing a better job than Hugh Jackman for Logan.

Pretty much the point of glamor. Do you think they're really all gorgeous?

Based on the insectoid look of Mab once she was weakened enough caring for Harry, Id say they dont even look Human given enough time.
