Id agrue it works great when used to actually serve the story with Aging, etc.  It sucks when it's just actor availability, breaks the immersion.

Agreed. I am a fan of keeping the same actors whenever possible. Sign relatively unknown talent for the whole series. It would help that a series based on a complete book series would have a known end date.

Indeed, they could actually put the aging on the schedule.   And while I like the idea of using the Septimus Actor for end-story Tavi, I have seen them have good luck with casting a teenage actor early and letting them grow up (and, sadly, too often bulk out with steroids) to accomplish the step-changes they're after.  I could see casting a young actor and just film-magicing him a little smaller in the FoC/AF era, give him a haircut and personal trainer to make him look older for CuF/CaF, then move on up to Septimus-as-Octavian for the finale.  You'd just have to cast a pair that look that much alike.
