Gotta be friends versus Winter Knight obligations. Namely letting Lilly live.

8) WAG See number seven above and and that Butters and Murphy have hooked up.
harry dresden:
In reply to you thecuriousfan: Icefire does not compute. I agree Icefire seems like it couldn't exist, maybe Coldfire could, but hey it's Harry Dresden anything is possible. And it doesn't need to be completely literal, It could refer to a spell that effected either him or his opponents internally (like shielding him from emotions for instance).
Darwinist:
1/
Summer and Winter must always be in balance, so if Harry is in motion then Fix must be as well. I suspect this will be much like that where Fix and Harry are cats paws working together. As a bit of a throw, I fully expect Maive will be a major ally, much like Lara was in Blood Rites.
2/
a, Fix. Barely. I'm betting his apprentice will also be at the party as Lea's guest. Simply so that Lea can mindf-- her a little bit more.
b, show up with a glowing aura of soulfire as a means of flexing his muscle/first impression.
c, Bianca, who we'll find out has been kept alive this whole time as punishment (how cool would that be?)
d, Maggie would be the easy choice, but I somehow think Mort will be. It just seems so unlikely, the little bald man loses it as Harry validifies his abilities to talk to the dead as more than a simply parlor trick.
3/
He's able to work with Frost spells much better, which would be obvious. Maybe a Frostfire spell that melts then cools an object.
4/
It's gotta be Athame related. I'm guessing Mavra, who is now a pretty big bad with the Word of Kemmler. In terms of taking her down? It's gotta be harsh, bitter and unfeeling. I'm guessing he freezes her blood and watches her starve to death.
5/
His choice is going to be breaking the Wizarding law by killing another human. Sure, he gets diplomatic immunity, but it tests his resolve of how far he'll go.
6/
Fix is pretty selfless, much like Dresden was. I see him sacrificing himself in the end to defeat the big bad.
7/
Bouncil is actually from another time, universe, or reality that is attempting to destablize ours to make it easier to take over.
8/
We'll learn that Mavra isn't really Black Council. That she is actually at war with them as well. She uses the Kemmler book to wage war with them on an evil scale that Harry never would have been capable, evil versus evil with limitless potential.
9/
Mab inherits Mister, who is bent to the other's will.
TheCuriousFan:
--- Quote ---c, Bianca, who we'll find out has been kept alive this whole time as punishment (how cool would that be?)

No one had reason to keep Bianca alive at the time she died (Okay, Lea did but she didn't know it).
gatordave96:
1 ) Harry usually has a few supporting characters in each book. Who do you think will be the main sidekick in Cold Days and in what way will they help? Who else will have a significant contribution to the plot?
Toot. He will be the only member of the Fae that isn’t out to stab Harry in the back. And he will give away knowledge about the Fae that helps Harry escape from Mab’s clutches without being aware of the importance of the knowledge.
2 ) At the end of Ghost Story, Harry has said goodbye to all his friends in Chicago.
a. Who will be the first friend to find out Harry isn't dead?
b. What shenanigans/snark will Harry use when he "re-appears"?
c. Who will have the coolest reaction?
d. Who will have the most touching reaction?
- In each case, remember to specify for extra credit.
a. Toot. Harry meets him at the Winter party.
b. He starts moaning about “brains” after someone makes a joke about the “living dead.”
c. Warden Rodriguez.
d. Mouse.
3 ) In nearly every book, Harry usually comes up with a new powerup/tool/way of making things go boom. Given that he just became the new WK, what new abilities will he rely on and which new ability will be the most useful to him during the story (and how)?
A combination of “Arctis” and his other tools. Lots of ways to combine “fire” and “ice” in the form of water magic, which we haven’t seen much of yet, but will be useful when dealing with the Formor.
4 ) Harry generally has a "Big Bad" to worry about. In fact, according to the blurb, Harry is going after someone very specific. Who will that enemy be, and how will Harry take him/her/it down?
It has to be someone who has been competing with Mab for power . . . someone immortal . . . and we have not seen the Denarians in the past few books, so my guess is that he has his final show down with them.
5 ) Harry usually faces some sort of "Choice" in every book. A point where the easy way out will cost his soul/humanity in some way. According to the blurb, this book will be no different. What will be the most crucial "choice" Harry makes?
Harry realizes that he can no longer live in Chicago itself, but rather must live on the island of Demonreach. It is too dangerous to live in the city.
6 ) As the new Winter Knight, Harry is pretty much garunteed to encounter his Summer counterpart -- Fix. What will their interactions be? Will Fix survive?
I don’t think will be as big an encounter as what happened in “Small Favor.” Been there, done that. There will be some tension between them at the “rebirth” party, and Fix will say that if it comes down to a battle, he will try his best to kill Harry. Harry will respond that yes, you will “try” but will not succeed. Something like that.
7 ) Jim has mentioned that it's about time now to start revealing some of the motivations/dealings of the shadowy figures working behind the scenes (i.e. what Harry calls the "Black Council"). What Black Council secrets/actions will be revealed in this book?
The motivation is control of the Nevernever. Which is why there will be some revelation that members of the Fae are aligned with the Black Council.
8 ) There are many WAG theories on the boards. Write up to three WAG theories you believe are correct that will be confirmed (or at least have evidence in favor of) in Cold Days.
Sorry, I haven’t paid any attention to what those might be.
9 ) Extra credit: Write down any prediction about that you think might improve your final score. Only issues aluded to within Cold Days will be counted.
Harry finds new keepers for the swords of faith. One of them is Daniel. The other is his brother. Not Murphy, because she still has issues.
