It was just assumed that he had, but the description of that scene in the book never mentioned anything about him doing it. His brain was so frozen that all he thought about was that Luccio wanted inside his apartment, so he opened the door for her like a gentleman. But he never mentions his wards, which seemed odd, since everyone around him was clearly trying to remind him of the wards and asking him to take them down so they could get in.
Anyway, I was just wondering if something unusual happened there and we were never quite shown what it was.

Personally, I don't understand why Harry sets up his wards so he actively has to take them down. Thomas & Murphy both have a amulet that lets them take them down for their passage. Harry has to actively work magics, and on at least 3 occasions this has somewhat complicated things (The Warrior, Dead Beat, & Small Favor).
You'd think he'd have tried to work something that would make it less complicated for his own passage.

I get the sense that the talismans are somehow more limited. When he took Molly on he gave her one specifically as a temporary measure until she was able tot take them down on her own. Granted that may have been more about the learning exercise than anything else.
wyltok:
Paranoid Harry is paranoid. He doesn't want someone to grab him and use his bound-and-gagged/unconscious body to get through the wards in his house. If he could teach Thomas and Murphy how to open the wards instead of giving them talismans, he'd probably do so (except maybe Murphy, due to what he explained in Last Call).
That he willingly gives them those talismans is as much proof of his trust in them as proof of his trust in their ability to take care of themselves.

Is there something left of Sanyas I-was-a-Denarian package? (like Harrys, languages, guitar++..better liar)
Can Harry build a working little Chicago on Demonreach?
Didn't Harry get the improved strength package with the WK mantle, so shouldn't his degenerated muscles still be able to lift his body weight?
Will Anna Valmont reappear (someone that hit Harry that often on the head.. has to be a recurring character^^)?

I doubt Magog was nice enough to leave any goodbye gifts.
