Is Harry OP? [Battle Ground Spoilers]
Griffyn612:
As of now, Harry has, in his possession or access to, the following:
* A prison of gods, demigods, demons, monsters, and other assorted things, which he can (apparently) release and control, in part or in whole, at his whim.
* Access to a dark lay line source that he could potentially tap with preparation for a spell or spells, similar to how the Denarians used it.
* The Sword of Love.
* The Spear of Destiny.
* The Placard of Christ.
* The Shroud of Turin.
* The Crown of Thorns.
* The Eye of Balor.
* Castle Wyvern Dresden.
* The Winter Knight mantle.
* Third+ Generation Wizard bloodline.
* Soulfire
* Starborn power
* Margaret's Knowledge of Ways.
* Bob 'Marty Stu' the Skull.
* Bonea's Angelic Knowledge (if not wisdom)
* A defacto army of tens of thousands of Little Folk.
He's related to, best friends with, or engaged/married to
* The Blackstaff.
* The Sword of Hope bearer.
* The Sword of Faith bearer.
* The Winter Lady.
* The Winter Queen.
* The (secret) White Queen.
Am I forgetting anything?
Seriously, he's got a ton of crap. That's not even counting his friendly acquaintances (Uriel, Vadderung, Erlking), his middling power-level friends (Thomas, a pack of Werewolves, River), and his potential resource of professional hires (Goodman, Binder, Kincaid).
I feel like at this point, if Harry were to start wearing the Shroud as a cape (to help heal him on the go), he might be unstoppable. And if he were to get the Blackstaff like many speculate, then what could possibly stop him? Other than an iron-rich waterfall?
Rigil Kent:
It certainly makes one understand why the White Council is afraid of him. Wait until they hear about the engagement!
Thana†os:
But does anyone really know he has or has access to ALL of that, other than the readers? and himself, of course.
BrainFireBob:
Which is why it's going to be about mirroring and politics and then the apocalypse.
Harry's become a high-end middleweight. It is no longer worth trying to take him out via slugging match. It'll go badly even if you win.
So the arena his enemies target him in changes.
Mirror Mirror will be about him against an alternate Harry. I'm sure this alternate Harry has embraced powerful upgrades like a low-level Darkhallow or similar, and he's been able to overcome other alternate Harrys by outclassing them- and "our" Harry is the first one on his power level. If it's Highlander rules, our Harry needs to convince alt Harry to take the hit. I'm veering towards alt Harry doesn't have a Maggie or lost his. Harry ends up with some artifact or something he lost restored, like his kinetic energy rings or fancy shield bracelet. Maybe the classic Maggie/Bonea has the gun on the two of them.
Next book will be politics, and needing to fight, say, Langtry where Langtry excels.
Then the Apocalypse, where it's not he can't deal with any threat, but it's the equivalent of 16 Ethnius striking at once and he can only take them 1:1.

The White Council officially knows about the island and ley line. The Gray Council knows about Bob and Amoracchius from Changes. Seems likely that at least Vadderung knows about the items from Hades vault, given his habit of knowing things. Someone recognized Margaret's necklace in BG (can't recall who at the moment). The Eye of Balor is highly suspected. Everyone saw the Little Folk answer his call.
I'd say it should be very obvious to everyone that he's OP.

Poor Carlos. If only he'd been a little more understanding, Harry might have let him take a nap with the Shroud for a bit.

I think we've got Mirror Mirror, the wrestling book, and maybe two to three more casefiles before the BAT. Should be interesting to see where things end up, but I'm wondering how long it'll be before he ends up becoming the Baron of Chicago himself. I figured Marcone would last until the BAT, playing the Uther to Harry's Merlin, but I'm not so sure now.
