In the movie's defense:


 * I never really saw the big deal with her hair. I mean looking at all the other stuff they got wrong, I really don't see her hair color being a big deal. I mean they could have hired anyone and just dyed their hair, which they did in the SoM.
 * Have you seen twelve year olds? No offense, but if they did pick actual people that were 12, it would automatically be labeled a "kids movie" and it would look pretty ridiculous in my opinion. Plus, they can always increase the age of the prophecy (which they apparently did in SoM)
 * At the time, they weren't even sure if they could get a sequel. It would be a waste to have Kronos appear as the man behind the curtain, only to never bring it to a final conclusion if the second movie wasn't green-lit
 * *Face-palm*
