Poor Harry - Jim you cruel man. Lol

And yes, Mira mentioned that too. His soul was connected to his body.

Since he never was a ghost it would have been hard I think. It never was about being a ghost, more about righting a wrong done to Molly and understanding himself, that he cannot be turned into a monster unless he wishes to be turned into one.
forumghost:
Being fair, what good would cool ghost powers be for Harry anyway? He doesn't even make good use of the powers he has.
Like, remember how in the Graveyard he talks about Sorcerers and how they're scrublords looked down upon by 'real' Wizards? The whole time I was like: "You're talking a lot of smack right now Harry, but the way you describe Sorcerers (dumb brutes that just rely on power and have zero skill) sounds a lot like how the rest of the planet describes you. Maybe get good before you start shit talking."
Dina:
forumghost, Mira, true, but I didn't mean that having Harry got those powers were the main purpose of GS. I just want it to have been a small side effects. And "ghost powers" was a way of speaking, I meant something related with being a bodyless soul.

Ability to astral project yourself as shade would be quite cool?

Yes it would, but Harry was able to do that with Little Chicago too, and he did it all of once before forgetting the thing existed entirely. (What I'm saying is, Harry is a bad Wizard, the only thing he can do is make things go boom.)
That said, we know from Vadderung/WoJ that dying and coming back did something- at least from the wider perspective. It just doesn't appear to manifest itself in an overt way.
--- Quote from: Cold Days ---He tilted his head and looked at me. "Wizard . . . you have been dead and returned. It has marked you. It has opened doors and paths that you do not yet know exist, and attracted the attention of beings who formerly would never have taken note of your insignificance."
"Meaning what?" I asked.
There was no humor at all in his face. "Meaning that now more than ever, you are a fulcrum. Meaning that your life is about to become very, very interesting."
"I don't understand," I said.
