After all of the months of speculation and rumors about who would be cast in New Moon, it's clear the production had to walk a fine line between adding a few "name" acting heavyweights while casting younger, less expensive actors. There was no way all of the rumored casting additions could feasibly occur for budgetary reasons plus other factors related to the production at large. The additions of Graham Greene, Michael Sheen, and Dakota Fanning raise the bar to help take New Moon to new heights from an acting standpoint. Think of Twilight as a freshman movie and New Moon as the sophomore with a bit more maturity and wisdom and what you have from seasoned professionals, Greene, Fanning, and Sheen. And while Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and the other returnees fall into the same sophomore category, Taylor Lautner steps from the shadows into the spotlight for what is his true breakthrough role since Jacob plays a much more significant part of the Twilight sequel.
The remainder of the cast, which features recognizable feet-wet young actors and a healthy blend of unknowns, gives New Moon the fresh and innocent tone fans felt in Twilight. Overall, director Chris Weitz, Stephenie Meyer, and Summit Entertainment did a great job in making sure New Moon would be both young and a bit more mature to accentuate and accompany the New Moon storyline and themes. At this point the decision to not overload New Moon with too many hot-at-the-moment "bigger names" looks to be a smart move.
