Meet Harry Dresden - Wizard for Hire... Doing the Job Nobody Else Wants to Do
But let's just move on here...
You see, Harry Dresden is a wizard with a past. For a while his life was on balance... but what am I talking about? He is always getting in trouble!
He says that he is trying to protect us all... well suuurrree! Reading each of The Dresden Files
books in series... (So far Jim Butcher wrote 10 of 'em)... Harry is always getting in trouble. And you wonder why he has any friends left!And talking about friends... Harry hasn't done so well in the girlfriend department very much. In fact, his talking skull, Bob gets a little more action than Harry does. Geez!
Pretty pathetic you would think huh? Well, don't you worry about a thing... Jim Butcher makes everything right... uh... eventually!
In the meantime, Harry is going from one adventure to another. It seems like the whole supernatural world is always just pissed off at him...
And why? Harry tries to mind his own business. Well, when he isn't digging into other people's business of course. Oh, I didn't tell you? Why, Harry is a private detective. A wizardly private detective (say that 10 times real fast). And of course Harry has scruples. He will never, ever do love portions. Not even if you put him in a pot of boiling oil...
Ever! Unless of course Bob tricked him to making a batch of love portion and then a beautiful woman he was on a date with... drank the said love portion by accident while they were under attack by a deadly demon... talk about wrong timing. And yeah... it was a very difficult and tense situation. But don't you worry here... Harry did fine.
So without further ado... I introduce you to The Dresden Files
. Considered yourself warned... The Dresden Files is addicting if you love the fantasy genre.

Quotes from Harry Dresden
Use them at your own risk!
"Oh, sorry about that. Maybe I should have told you about a potentially dangerous situation, huh? I mean, that would have been polite of me to warn you, right? And sensible. And intelligent. And respectful. And--"-Harry deliberately let his brother walk into a ward spell because Thomas wasn't forthcoming.
"Tonight you will be visited by three spirits. The ghosts of indictment past, present, and future. They will teach you the true meaning of 'you are still a scumbag criminal.'"
- Harry speaking to Moscone, the Mob Kingpin of Chicago
"Your good opinion, means the world to me."
- Harry's response to Moscone's opinion.
"Harry get hammer. Smash stupid talky skull."
- Harry is threatening Bob.
"Now you're going to laugh at me."
- Thomas, Harry's vampire half-brother
"I can wait until you've turn your back, if you like."
- Harry's response to Thomas
"Why do they sell hot dogs in packages of ten but hot dog buns in packages of eight?"
-Harry's response to a query before a dangerous mission
The Trailer for The Dresden Files on the SciFi TV Channel
after 1 season. The acting was very good and the show had so much potential...In a way, I wonder if this TV show will be the next Star Trek?
Did You Discover the Books Because of the Dresden Files TV Show?
Here is a List of the Characters in The Dresden Files
Bonus Big Tip.... Don't let Bob out of his skull. He is a little weird and can get you in a lot of trouble!
Bob - Annoying know-it-all lab assistant spirit in a skull. (say that 10 times real fast)
Get this poster of the skull at AllPosters.com
Mister -- Big pet cat that weighs 30 pounds. Even Mouse is afraid of him...
Notice a common thread here? For some reason, Harry likes big pets.
Gal Pal - Detective Sergeant Karrin Murphy. OK, that was wishful thinking. Just don't make fun of her short statue... it is belittling... (oops!)
Thomas - Harry's half brother who also happens to be a White Court Vampire.

- Dresden Files is one of my favorites; I'm reading Turn Coat now. Have you read any of Butcher's Codex Alera? A bit different as it is more traditional type fantasy but not half bad.
Nice lens!
