That's a tricky question cause there are actresses who I think would be ideal for the part but are too old or something, so do I include them or do I go for my favorites that could stand a chance? I guess I'll go with the second one.
Gemma
1. Rachel Hurd-Wood, 18 UK 2. Bonnie Wright, 17 UK 3. Holliston Coleman, 16 USA
Ann
1. Abigail Breslin, 12 USA 2. Sarah Bolger, 17 UK (Libba herself said she met Sarah at the The Spiderwick Chronicles premiere and really liked her) ;D 3. Emma Watson, 18 UK
Pippa
1. Anna Popplewell, 20 UK 2. Emily Browning, 20 Australian
sorry but I got no other Pippa, those two are the only ones at the right age that could be Pip.
Fee
1. Saoirse Ronan, 14 UK 2. Taylor Momsen, 15 US 3. Sofia Vassilieva, 16 US
Amanda Seyfried would be the ultimate Fee but she's 23!

oh gosh, this is a tough one...the funny thing is, I have definite answers for some of the minor cast, but for the major , it's alot more difficult, since I'm really all in favor for unknowns. I'll have to think about it.!

i think we should be able to put down actresses who are too old or for some other reason wouldnt get the part ! ;D That means theres more choice and i think a hell of alot easier to do x

Wow, Cindagirl, I totally agree with you on Tom, Ithal, Kartik (Avan) and Pippa's Knight!

I agree with Rupert Grint as Tom Doyle and Felipe Dieppa as Kartik.
Ben Barnes looks the part of Ithal but he's too old, I'd rather see Ed Speleers as Ithal, Speleers has this something wicked Ithal exhibits from time to time!
And I like William Moseley as Simon Middleton and Alex Pettyfer as Pippa's Knight

Alex Pettyfer looks like he'd make a good knight. I actually was rereading TSFT and Ithal is described as having fair hair so actually Ed Speleers would be really good! I so cannot imagine Ben Barnes blond.

Where was Ithal's age specified?

I can't remember whether Ithal's age is being specified in the books or not but I have a tough time imagining a thirty year old making out with a sixteen year old and Barnes is currently 27.
Ed Speleers would make a remarkable Pippa's knight no doubt about that but the knight's part in the books is insignificant and I love Ed, I think he's a gorgeous looking guy and a good actor so if there's any chance he is in the movie I'd rather he had a more significant part. Ithal is blond, tall, well build, a strong and imposing personality who likes taking chances (offering Fee the flower), bitter and broken hearted after Fee and quite evil in tSFT so I think Speleers would be perfect.
I always used to picture William Moseley as Simon Middleton while reading the books and even though I don't think Alex Pettyfer is attractive a lot of people do.
While reading the books I used to picture Chris Rankin as Tom Doyle but now the more I think about it the more I like Rupert.

i always thought ithal was 20, maybe 21? I have to agree!! After all I think Ithal was like the Gypsies leader so he'd have to be an adult but not too old or else he wouldn't have attracted a teen's attention, especially Fee's.

More random casting: Mr. Doyle - Colin Firth (or Ralph Fiennes). but my favorite is colin - i just love mr. darcy! Virginia Doyle - Miranda Otto (maybe) The Admiral- Daniel Craig- i hate the character and think he's evil but i can't imagine anyone else playing this part. Mrs. Worthington - Kate Winslet - i looove her Lucy Fairchild- this took me awhile because lucy is american, and there are many possibilities for her. but i really love Alexis Bledel. she may be too old, though, so my second choice is Michelle Trachtenburg. Ms. McCleethy- Emma Thompson Ms. Moore - sometimes I see her as cate blanchett Lord Denby- Alan Rickman
