I completely understand your 18 different reasons to
hate Cosette (and could probably add a few!), but
might I suggest <eg> Harry as Cosette?  James Potter
works as Valjean in some respects.  Draco as Eponine,
and I don't think that there's a character yet who
suits Marius. (*Not* Hermione!)  I could actually see
Hermione as a good Enjorlas...not sure where I'd put
Ron.  Dumbledore makes a great Bishop, though.
