Happy 500th post to me! I'm a Ghost Prince at last!
I think that Alan Rickman would be a good choice to play Thranduil, as a lot of his lines in the book would sound great coming from him. Ok, they'd have to give him blond hair, but that's probably the only change necessary.
As for Aragorn, I think (sticking to the book's version of his age) that it might be fun to have Aragorn as a 10-year old show up, act really excited at seeing Gandalf, Bilbo, and the dwarves, and then pester them with questions about where they came from, what they were doing, etc.
