(click to show/hide)The only thing that comes to mind is the Big Bad Wolf.
Other than the obvious, a lovely chapter. A return to the peaceful Harry Dresden. So of course, that's going to stay that way.
Also (click to show/hide)Isn't Evanna the one who accuses Thomas of murder in the trailer?

(click to show/hide)He thinks about the pot while petting Mister and then it manifests.

Yes.
(click to show/hide)At first I was thinking that all the mantle stuff had to do with Harry having a whole lot of familial feelings, and that was suppressing the mantle. Still might be, but the arrival of whoever would seem awfully coincidental.
I too feel that it's Eb knocking on the door, but I don't think that's right. It could be Ivy. She's had a similar entrance in the past, as long as Harry's sneezing etc. is a coincidence.
I don't know of a fairy tale/fantasy creature that would warp reality to the point and in the manner we're seeing.
Did Harry summon the pot of boiling water? That kind of makes sense. He was thinking about it. After/as it showed up a wave of exhaustion swept him as we've seen a few times when he's done a big spell.
It only kind of makes sense because we've never seen Harry lose control like that. The closest I can think of is his anger making the fire in his fireplace bigger in Changes. That's not very close.
Yuillegan:
(click to show/hide)Pretty significant for Harry to summon a pot, from the Nevernever I suppose, with a thought. What immediately comes to mind is the rain of toads in Summer Knight i.e. major magical imbalance. Curiously, he sneezed as it happened. I have no idea what to make of the sneeze. And the sneeze came first. Before he thinks of the pot. I hazard a guess it is related to whoever just showed up.
(click to show/hide)So who could Thomas kill that would make Evanna mad at him and encourage the emnity of the svartalves? Another svartalf?
(click to show/hide)Can't be Ebenezar. Whoever is knocking just pushed through major magical wards to talk to him. Doesn't seem like Vadderung. He isn't so abrupt or impolite. And Mab could just come in if she needed to. Same I think with the Mothers. It doesn't feel like the Erlking.
The real question is it friend or foe?
g33k:
@Yuillegan -- you put your text in ordinary cleartext-Quote, rather than Spoiler'ing; dunno if that was intentional?
Dunno if we need to bother with spoiler blocks... this IS the "DF Spoilers" subforum, and the thread is clearly labled...
But I'll continue the practice...

But those were REAL toads, not nevernever summonings/constructs. That's part of what signaled that is was a major issue.

He sneezed, and felt achy, but nothing happenend.
Then Mister cuddled him, purring "like a pot of boiling water," and then Harry sneezed again; this time, both achy AND a wave of exhaustion, and the pot arrived.

I think this is it, honestly; now the question is how/why...
I will go ahead and WAG that Harry has caught a wizardly variant of a "cold." Recall the never-never mites on Kirby & Andi, in Day Off... based on that short, and this event, my WAG is that there are a whole panoply of nevernever/magical pests/vermin/parasites/etc which are mostly just minor annoyances, like colds and allergies and mites and etc... With the occasional magico-Ebola, etc.
Harry has just never heard of this stuff previously, because Justin felt no need to teach it, and Eb had other issues to address than delving into whether Harry had the fully-approved White Council curriculum...
