--- Quote from: Lotsacats on August 06, 2008, 05:07:37 AM ---I love both the TV series and the books. I saw the TV show first, which probably gives it just a bit of an edge, but then I went out and immediately bought all the books, which I enjoyed thoroughly. I'd probably never have discovered the books at all were it not for the show, so I owe it a very large debt. :-*
There are elements of the show I liked better (Bob, definitely), and elements of the books I liked better (the Blue Beetle, more of Mister, etc.), but I see no point at all in vilifying either one at the expense of the other, nor in denigrating their respective fans. Many of us liked both, and have no problem with the conflicts and differences there-in. We're grown-ups. We can deal with it. :)

You nailed it.

Now we have Harry et al. of the TV show and Harry et al. of the books and Harry et al.of the comics and (soon) Harry et al. of the role-playing game. It does make defining canon difficult, but as a fan, I'm not sure that's a bad thing. It gives us lots of iterations to play with in costuming, etc., without someone really jumping down your throat for a "non-canon" costume.
In contrast, I belong to a Star Wars club and when you realize how canon has solidified in 30+ years (what with the extended universe and animated stuff and videogames, not to mention the 501st and the rebel legion on costuming), it's really hard for a newb to keep track of, and rather off-putting sometimes.
Wizwad:
I would suggest that the slightly different versions of Harry and those around him make the canon that much more realistic and three dimensional than it might otherwise be. I for one am different depending on to whom I'm speaking, as I modify my behaviour and thought processes and means of expressing myself, conciously or subconciously to address the requirements of that individual or group.
It's one of the reasons I hate speaking on the phone to someone whilst being overheard by another for whom I'm a slightly different person. And, in fact, until those two people meet and realise what the deal is, I feel like I'm being pulled in different directions.
The one area where I think the show would be better would be for Harry to have a bit more emotional energy. But I keep saying that, so I'll stop. :)

I find it funny you feel that way because I have a friend who insists that show Harry always seemed like he was on the verge of hysteria. I felt Paul Blackthorne captured all the aspects of the personality quite well.

Dear Mr. Wolfe,
The show died an untimely death--and I only got to see in on YouTube, because Of circumstances which made it difficult to watch it in 'real time.' I really liked what I saw, and wish there were more.
Please, Mr. Wolfe, Jim, keep options open for at least a TV movie about Harry Dresden!
I love seeing him 'in action!'
Thanks for all your hard work.
Peace,
Tina
