I think James Marsters is a bit too old to portray Harry (assuming they start at the beginning of the series), plus he is nowhere near Harry's height. I realize that finding a 6'7" actor to play Harry is problematic but I at least want somebody tall, someone taller than most people.

I'd be willing to support Nathan Fillion as Harry (as if my opinion really matters) if he was ten years younger,  assuming of course they start the films at the beginning of the series.

Neuroheart, I don't know how one can justify an appreciation. Mr. Ghostbuster sees Famke as the perfect Lea. You don't. I don't see much more to discuss. In case you are interested, I can totally see Famke as the kind of woman you described. I still remember her in ST:TNG and I think I was in risk of becoming a lesbian (well, perhaps not so. But she was perfect. Instead, I wouldn't see Christina Hendricks as Lea. For me, she lacks the class, is too vulgar. I could see her as Madeline or Trixie Vixen, though.
Thank you for that.

Neuroheart, I'm not sure why you had such issue with my pick of Famke Janssen. I'm not saying that, were I in charge of The Dresden Files movies, I'd give her the role of Leanansidhe without a second thought. In fact, she would have to audition for it with Christina Hendricks (assuming both of them were interested), who I think would be another excellent choice.

And I find it interesting that you had absolutely nothing to say about my other choices.

I didn't pick Famke Janssen for her physical attributes or because I think she is "stunning goregeous". Frankly, I have yet to see a single actress that that I was describe with the same sort of other-worldly beauty commonly attributed to the fae. I picked her because I think she could pull off the sweetly venomous character of the Leanansidhe. Especially after reading Leah's part in Changes. Leave the "stunning beauty of the immortal fae" to the makeup artists and computer animators.

I only have four roles in mind and I think these actors would fulfill them beautifully:

Michael: Ewan McGreggor, I know he's not quite the build but after seeing Angels and Demons, he would be my choice.
Kincaid: Bradley Cooper
Voice of Bob: Jason Lee
Leah: This HAS to be Famke Janssen!

Aurora

I think she's the definition of fae beauty. Plus she's got just a hint of crazy eyes.
Yeah, but she needs to hide her crazy until the end of Summer Knight.

I don't know about the process involved but I do know that Star Trek and Star Wars only accept novels from established authors. And I'm pretty sure you can't just submit an idea to the people in charge of Star Wars. I think they actually have to invite you to write a Star Wars novel.

I felt Zachary Quinto could pull off both the physical and character aspects of Harry. He's not precisely the right look but pretty firmly in the ballpark with the sort of a tall guy with a rather sinister look about him.

Out of all the people listed above, Zachary Quinto would easily be my first choice.

I was originally planning on making a day trip out of the Kansas City signing but my only friend who is a Dresden fan can't get off of work. I don't think I'll be going by myself.

Santa Claus is the Winter King. The Erlking is the Summer King.

I think in regards to the code about the swords, something like the shipping code is needed where we can refer to specific characters.

Not gonna happen if the movie goes because anybody doing major funding will want performers with a proven
track record.  Sorry. 
Umm, unknown for Harry - most likely not gonna happen.  The movie will rest on his shoulders and unknown status
will make investors nervous - also probably make insurance harder to get.  

Not necessarily true. Often times studios and filmmakers will prefer working with a talented unknown because....
1. They can pay them less.
2. They are often easier to work with and easier to schedule.
3. Less established actors are less likely to turn down a role.
4. It's the casting director's (and to a somewhat lesser extent, the director's) job to convince any producers or executives that the person they want is right for the role.

Harry Dresden - Eric Balfour (talk, dark, gloomy, seems to have a sense of humor, but can look dangerous)
This has me very intrigued. I haven't seen him in anything, though.

Leah - Famke Janssen (redhead, hot, can be calm and cool, and then completely off her rocker?)
YES!

I could see Alexis Denisof as Harry

I would have agreed with that about ten years ago. I especially enjoyed his performance in the later years of Angel. I think he'd a bit old for the role now.
