BrainFireBob:
Granted, but there's this weird fandom desire to want to see the Librarians as helping Harry.

I mean, they might- but that would be because of their agenda, not because they recognize Harry's inherent good-guy-ness, or something of the sort.

This isn't Snow Crash, he's not Hirohito Protagonist.

I don't expect them to help much at all. They'll be taking the role Murphy had in the early novels as good guys that have to be worked around. The best Harry will get is some help with the after the fact consequences in exchange for information.

Well, I clearly don't share it. I am convinced they will be foes for Harry (even when probably trying to help humanity).

I don't think they will be foes exactly, but neither will they be allies.  By that I mean they are on the same side when push comes to shove,  but are so different that they will get in each other's way a lot.   Yes, a lot like Murphy in the first couple of books, but they will suffer from a "group" narrow mindedness about wizards, magic, and what is really going on.  In contrast, though she wasn't exactly trusting of Harry in the first couple of books, Murphy had already seen too much and had an  open mind as to what lurked out there.

Arjan:
I think they will fulfil Murphy’s original role. They will with the best intentions complicate everything.
