Happy Hump Day! Today’s topic is fancasts, which honetly, I haven’t done a lot of. When I read, in my mind I tend to picture people of my own creation, not celebrities, so know this list actually took some work to come up with, hawhaw.
If you’d like to participate in T5W, you can do so here.
Aneurin Barnard as The Dragon – Uprooted by Naomi Novik
In the book, the dragon is described as rather young-looking though he’s obviously not. I think (this particular picture of) Aneurin Barnard kinda conveys that. Young, but hella tired looking from being so old, hawhaw.
Raini Rodriguez as Elisa – The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
Aside from me thinking Raini Rodriguez is totally adorable, I think she’d make a good fit for the main character Elisa in The Girl of Fire and Thorns.
Christopher Lloyd as Pellinore Winthrop – The Monstrumologist by Rick Yancey
I hope that if this series is ever made into a movie or tv show that: 1 – it’s not done in a YA fashion. You know how those movies turn out. This book is way too dark for a YA twist on it. 2 – that the mad scientist is cast as Christopher Lloyd. He seems to have a knack for it, don’tcha think 😛
Chloe Grace Moretz as Viola – The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness
This one is kind of cheating. The picture I added is the age I think she would have been good for playing Viola… the actress currently though is about 20 years old, so I kinda missed the mark. But! If the movie was made about 7 years ago, she would have been perfect.
Abby Wilde as Kelsea – The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
I know at this point, Emma Watson has pretty much been cast as Kelsea, but I feel like from the description of her in the book that Abby Wilde would make a much more accurate portrayal. She’s very close to what I pictured in my head when I read the book.
Lemme know what you think! Happy reading!
ahhh I LOVE Aneurin Barnard and he was my go-to fancast for the Darkling in the Grisha series. I think he’s make a fantastic Dragon; he’s got that youthful-with-old-eyes look going on.

Ah he’d be perfect for The Darkling too, you’re right!
