The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
How often does Harry's withholding of information actually get people hurt...

@BadAlias: Yeah I feel yeah on that, though I do make an exception for effects and the like if they're really good. But yeah I'm less forgiving when it's done badly. I guess I've just made my peace with seeing the Doylist, lol.
Huh, I never saw it that way, how Storm Front effects Grave Peril like that. Though I feel like a lot of that could be shown in Mirror Mirror. Man, I'm so excited for that book.

--- Quote ---I brought up the addiction thing specifically in response to your claim that, since Molly violated the terms of her parole even though the consequence of doing so was death, then no consequence would be sufficient to prevent Kim from doing what she did. However, this is comparing apples to oranges. Molly is a recovering addict falling off the wagon. Kim is a college student who decides to shoplift because she doesn't want to admit to her parents that she needs money. The situations are not at all the same, and consequences that the addict will ignore can and frequently will be enough to prevent the college student from doing things.

Comparing Kim to the college student who steals instead of admitting and asking her parents for money is perfect. I think in Molly's case that she is an addict may be a bit simplistic, I say that because she had a real rational for using it however misguided it might have been.
Perhaps brains are not fully formed until the mid-twenties, however that doesn't stop the law from allowing young men and women to drive a car, own a gun, [even now in many places 21, Kim was at least that age] go to war, drinking, voting, running for office, marrying, becoming a parent, or receiving the death penalty and being put to death for actions they took before their brains are fully formed. In other words whether the brain if fully formed or not, at some point young people are expected to take responsibility for their actions..

Harry does this over and over. He's protecting Murphy. He's protecting Kim. He's protecting Molly. Can you see an ongoing pattern in what Harry is doing.

He was protecting all of Chicago too.

Are you implying that Harry concealed information from Molly against her will in an attempt to protect her? Because I don't ever remember that happening. The only times I remember him choosing to conceal information from Molly is A) at the end of White Night, when she specifically said it was all right for him to do so; and B) in Cold Days, when he's not talking about Nemesis to anyone because he's not sure who he can trust.
