Of course, it's possible that they weren't casting for sexiness. 
<g>  I like the way they're casting the MWPP generation because I 
think we're getting people who look like ordinary folks you could 
pass on the street and not notice, rather than amazingly beautiful 
people (even though in my mind Daniel Day-Lewis is still how I 
picture Sirius Black).  Somehow this makes them feel very real.  
(And did anyone notice that Timothy Spall has the OBE and a very 
impressive list of credits for someone who's playing a RAT?)

OTOH, a kid's movie franchise where they DO seem to be casting the 
adults to appeal to the parents and grandparents taking the kids to 
the movies is Spy Kids.  We just saw the new film, and the moms get 
to see Antonio Banderas, the dads get to see Carla Gugino (and Salma 
Hayek), the granddads have Holland Taylor and grandmoms Ricardo 
Montalban.  We were really showing our ages, though; our kids had no 
idea why we were howling over his "rich Corinthian leather" line...
