The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
What magical talents would you like to see Harry improve on/use?

Another thing to consider. Harry for the first time has become aware that something is coming.... The Stars and Stones. He might not know what exactly it is, but he knows that it's coming. So he will hopefully begin preparing for it. He will be creating his magical tools, practicing his magic, and coming up with new ways of using his magic. He saw Drakul, and Marcone using teleportation, and even if he cannot do it himself he could come up with ways of defeating it. Harry has a real goal now.... Be ready, because the clock is ticking.

Like he quietly took the Spear and the Placard to the party for the battle for Chicago. He didn't advertise, he just kept it quietly under his coat.

When he sees Marcone/Namshiel do it he mentions that he saw books about it in the library at Edinburgh, but when he inquired they wre forbidden to him. He also says it is a skill that can take years and years to master if ever. I think Jim is setting the ground work for Harry to perhaps master that very skill but it may take a couple of books.

Teleporting is probably on the agenda since he'll need it or a counter to survive a rematch with HWWB but I expect it'll be real lategame stuff.
Personally I want shapeshifting into a lizard for the brick joke and horse to continue that trend (and give a new way to hurt Harry).
forumghost:
When fighting, he tends to favour direct manipulation of Energy (Specifically, Force and Heat). There's a lot that he can do with just those two- for example, we've seen him pull off Luccio's Laser beams exactly once before, he should work on that.
Another good idea would be to try and refine his force Magic- try and see if he can pull off more then just bursts of kinetic energy. If that two-bit Sorcerer in Ghost Story can give himself Super-Speed, the Winter Knight and the Wizard of Chicago ought to have the chops for it (this especially would be a good idea, since Harry seems to insist on charging in with his stick like a caveman a lot more these days).
Another neat trick could be for him to learn to start using his enemies force and heat. In Changes he was able to turn Rampires into Popsicle's and then use the stolen heat to immolate the next once during the attack on Chicken Pizza. That feels like something to expand upon- we know for example that he can make items capable of holding energy like his Force Rings, or storing Stamina like his Belt Buckle. Try doing something with that Harry- Your enemies want to shoot at you? Who cares, you've got a spell/item that lets you steal the Force from their bullets and use it to charge up your next Forzare!
That said, that kind of stuff would mean that Harry was trying to fight smarter, not harder, instead of the reverse, so I don't see it happening.
Most likely at best he'll have a proper shield bracelet and blasting rod by the next book.

Earth magic is another, he has used it a time or two and it is very powerful. I believe Eb uses it quite often as well.
