"Conjure by it at your own risk."

I love WOJ's they're so tantilising and I would even speculate they're more reliable than Dresden's thoughts as they come straight from the creator. Take Demonreach for example. Harry was wrong about that. I even count the RPG booklets towards WOJ's, they give great background info on the characters as well as give you a rough comparison of powers and abilities. Even though the Maths does my head in.

Many woj's slip in info unrelated to the question, sometimes for something we don't have the middle piece to connect it with, relying on intuition to see its relevance. Even has woj about his books being this way lol.

If you aggressively say you’re looking for him, there are a whole lot of people that will jump up to slap you around and if you mention you know him personally, you’re painting a huge target on your back. I also like the idea that eventually we’ll see someone claiming to be him because they haven’t heard he’s back from the dead, so someone will show up calling themselves Harry Dresden...to intimidate Dresden.

Froklsnt:
I'm not sure there would be specific consequences for summoning Dresden, other than a very pissed off Harry Dresden.  What I do think we've got here though is a Chekov's Gun, so I think the real question should be who's the fool who's will pull that trigger?  I've seen the idea on here before that it will be Time-Traveling Harry in Mirror Mirror. That's fun, how about some others?  Here, I'll start:  Mavra. She's probably the strongest black practitioner that we've met who's still "alive," besides Cowl.

Kindler:
It does seem odd to me that he would use the word "conjure" specifically, which, to me, indicates that Harry could be summoned in some fashion (assuming the D&D school of conjuration magic terminology applies).

I don't think you can conjure mortals.

Harry and Bob mention with some frequency that mortal concepts of names aren't all that reliable, because we're constantly redefining ourselves. I could take it to mean that either A) a name written in a book, rather than from someone's own lips, isn't particularly useful for magic, and might have disastrous consequences if you tried to use it, or B) Harry's mortal mutability has decreased enough that his name is effective.
