The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
WAG: Mirror! Mirror!

I thought that could be a diverging point too, but poor Thomas. Yeah, I imagine Nicodemus could get a lot of mileage of that. I think Thomas actually was a bit crucial to the finale. If Thomas dies, there's a domino effect of all the times that Harry needed him.
That's a good point about the first law. He'd be pretty against killing humans, magic or otherwise. Thomas getting killed is a pretty big diverging point, so it'd be cool to see.

The specific WoJ (and Jim is known to deceive his fans, so it must always be taken with a grain of salt) is that it's "the big decision at the end of Grave Peril".
I don't think the earlier choice-points qualify. Obviously, "the end of" is only approximate, and relative; but I'm guessing it's something from the Nevernever portion (en route to Bianca's), on through Harry entering Bianca's to be captured, the imprisonment scene, Harry breaking out, summoning the dead to kill Bianca, his post-adventure recovery, and then tracking down Susan.
I think the "big choice" is somewhere in there.
The thing where he takes Destroying Angel? Yeah, maybe he doesn't do a near-suicide. The thing where he DOES suicide (temporarily, he hopes) so he can get his ghost to help? Yeah, maybe he doesn't kill himself. Etc etc etc ...
Earlier on in the book... probably isn't "at the end of" the book.
Your Book May Vary.
123Chikadee:
Yeah true. I still think the biggest change would be if Harry was the one who became a half rampire.

My pick.
--- Quote ---And I am going to take away someone dear to you. After that, all will be equal.” She gave Ortega a very small smile and then glanced at me and asked, “Well? What say you? If you prefer to remain with her, I’m sure a place could be made for you here. After suitable assurances of your loyalty, of course.”
I remained silent for a moment, stunned.
“Well, wizard?” she snapped, harsher. “How do you answer? Accept my bargain. My compromise. Or it is war. And you will become its first casualty.”
I looked at Susan. She stared blankly, her mouth partially open, caught in a trance of some kind. I could probably snap her out of it, provided a bunch of vampires didn’t tear me limb from limb while I tried. I looked up at Bianca. At Ortega. At the hissing vampire cronies. They were drooling on the polished floor.
I hurt all over, and I felt so very damned tired.
“I love her,” I said. I didn’t say it very loud.
“What?” Bianca stared at me. “What did you say?”
“I said, I love her.”
“She is already half mine.”
“So? I still love her.”
“She isn’t even fully human any longer, Dresden. It won’t be long before she is as a sister to me.”
“Maybe. Maybe not,” I said. “Get your hands off my girlfriend.”
Bianca’s eyes widened. “You are mad,” she said. “You would flirt with chaos, destruction—with war. For the sake of this one wounded soul?”

IMO this sets the tone going forward as to who Harry is. His willingness to "die doing the right thing."
123Chikadee:
That's a good diverging point. It's probably this one, out of all the other choices, but I think Harry offers himself up to Bianca in exchange for everybody else.
