He looks much too young.
Sydney Penney is the way I pictured Katniss, albeit when she was a kid in Pale Rider.
I still can't think of anyone who works as Peeta for me.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jezebel is complaining that Jennifer Lawrence would be whitewashing Katniss. Bleaching her a bit, assuming they don't darken her hair, eyes, and skin. But whitewashing? Isn't Katniss clearly white? I'm going to assume anyone with straight black hair, grey eyes, and a blonde sister and mother is probably white. It seems a weird use of the term.

They're saying Katniss seems to be described as biracial. I think it's a little vague, since we never actually see her dad.
Jennifer Lawrence just seems too big, healthy, and blond for me.

I assumed that Katniss is from Appalachia--the setting seemed very Appalachian to me. So, Scotch Irish and maybe some American Indian? And who knows what else considering it's not set now with the demographics of now.

Did you see Winter's Bone, Amy?

Ah. That's the only thing I've seen her in and I can definitely see her as Katniss based on that performance.

I'm honestly just basing my opinion on the red carpet pictures of her, so I could be completely wrong. But I did see Katniss as littler, really lean and wiry, and definitely darker, although that's what hair dye and contacts are for, I guess.

To my minds eye, this is katniss: [link] I have always pictured her as a plainer, teenage version of this actress.
