Those would make great sci-fi movies

I've thought about the possibility myself, and the big question in my mind is who would you get to play Harrington? That's a hard part to fill. Harrington is a tall, dark haired woman hailing from mountainous country. She's mostly caucasian with a significant amount of Chinese. That's going to be a hard thing to cast.

The face that gazed back should have looked different, reflecting the monumental change in her status, and it didn't. It was still all sharply defined planes and angles dominated by a straight, patrician nose (which, in her opinion, was the only remotely patrician thing about her) and devoid of the least trace of cosmetics. Honor had been told (once) that her face had "a severe elegance." On Basilisk Station

No contest

Claudia Black - She's only 5'9" but that can be worked around. (And she's probably the only actress with the Harrington nose)

It pains me to say it but theat would be Mrs Angelina Jolle.
Sorry.

Lucy Liu?(sp?) Michelle Yaiou? Even Angelina Jolie with a bit of cosmetic enhancement could do it! I forget the name of the woman who did the recent HBO/BBC characterisation of Queen Elizabeth would be formidable in that role...alas she's too old! Portman would be too wooden. Alice Krige could do the role in some of the books where Harrington has matured and climbed up in rank.

Some of the jacket art work on the books suggest a kind of Jolie look to the character...though the books suggest that Harrington herself doesn't think of herself as attractive.

The tree cat character...now thats a personality the animators could have a field day with!

How about Tia Carrere? I liked her role as an archaeologist/adventuress in "Relic Hunter". If you need taller, perhaps Kelly Hu.
