Perfect Casting Part Three
Tami Seven:
I'm in favor of casting with an eye on age. If done as a series, over time the actors/actresses will get older and eventually even makeup can't fake it.
I like the idea of watching the actors grow older along with the characters. Something they did well in the Harry Potter series.

It's a problem. The age range for the characters is fifteen plus years

It's easier to make a person look older with makeup then to make them look younger.
Quantus:
It's also a problem in that they would need to age differently. For example: Older wizards would need to be static, Carpenter kids would need to change far more with far less screen time. Harry would need to eventually start looking like the older brother, something he's even remarked on in the books. The alpha's start as pudgy college nerds and become fitness model looking, across the board.

Especially with children, it's easier to do with age appropriate actors than using older actors. Its' not easy to cast like that, but if it can be done it would be best for the series overall. IMHO
