Have you noticed any direct in-text hints to suggest Harry is Merlin?

What? When? Where? I missed that.

There's a lot of parallels, but I haven't seen anything specific.

Jim has said that Merlin was dead, but death means less in a story like the Dresden Files. I think the question was something like "will we see the OG Merlin?" Jim responded with something like "No ... because he's dead ... but that doesn't necessarily rule it out in this kind of story."

Yuillegan:
Yeah he said it in an interview. It was part joke, but part not joke either.


--- Quote ---Dudesan: Do The Dresden Files and The Codex Alera share the same metacosmology? Were the many migrations (such as the ancestors of the Alerans, the Marat, and the Canim) through the Nevernever? Should we worry about a Vord invasion of Earth? Bob mentioned that many worlds thought to be fictional do exist in some sense- I think his example is that “Spider-man is real… somewhere out there. What, you think this is the only world?”
Jim: 2) What kind of insane person would design a universe like that? Next you’re going to come up with some kind of theory about how a single extended family bloodline runs through all of these obviously unrelated story universes, and how all of my central heroes actually belong to one family.
Psssh. No one’s going to buy that.

What's even more interesting is the amount of times Jim actually talks about bloodlines in interviews. If you can be bothered looking, he actually talks about it a lot. I suspect bloodlines will be VERY important to the overall series.

Well, Jim says that there are many different levels of dead. And that's a big spectrum and a squishy line type deal. And we also may deal with some time-travel so we might see him that way too.

Bad Alias:
I remember that now.

Paviel:
Isn't Ebenezer a descendant of Merlin? That would make Harry a descendant of Merlin too.

EBRIEN:
Not a dumb thought...Here's one for ya: Harry is the kwisatz haderach.

Margaret figured out how to create a starborn with Malcolm. Or maybe, Elaine and Harry will combine their DNA and create the kwisatz haderach. The Bene Gesserit were all about blood lines and manipulating them.

I know...utter silliness. With all the new stuff and cool guesses floating around, my brain just sorta sparked this thought.

Harry just fits the bill as the ONE. Maybe we should be asking this question: Why isn't he Merlin?

To tell you the truth, with the world being what it is, I find reading the Paranet relaxing. Thanks for all the thinking you put into this forum.

Hope all of you are well and healthy--Brien
