Griffyn612:
Name: Novomalyn Castle
Location: Town of Novomalyn, Ukraine
Founded: ~1392
Founder: Svidrigaylo Jagiello, younger brother of the Grand Duke of Lithuania.
Purpose: Tower of a castle.
Dresdenverse Relevance:
Ruins of a pentagonal tower in the Ukraine sounds like a place where magic might have been done in the past.

I'm sure we'll be seeing it again, but will it remain in one piece? Harry's visited it a number of times now and it's survived, unlike almost everywhere else he's been. :P

Vlad the Impaler's castle. I see Dresden needing to go there for either a ritual, or to retrieve something that's still there. Something to do with either the Black Court or Drakul himself.
I think it would be cool if either he did something that showed the past, or he saw a flashback to the location to see that there is a lot more to the history of the place.

Going to the old place of power for the "founder" of the Black Court sounds like it might be dangerous, but also a good place to gather intel on the Blamps.

Yeah the inside is very cool too, but likely too small for a big duel, and the roof might be difficult to navigate for two combatants. But it being used as an entrapment or summoning site for a number of wizards to take on something in the inner circle, with them taking the high ground on the roof, might work well.

He was never in the town. Gated in went under ground and that was it.
Jim should visit. He could stay in the same room Rowling wrote her last Harry Potter book. https://www.therowlinglibrary.com/2016/06/01/the-balmoral-hotel-where-j-k-rowling-finished-harry-potter-and-the-deathly-hallows/

I would think some waterworks would be an excellent low-side-damage kind of duelling spot. The Niagara Falls, or if Harry has to face a water mage, maybe the Dutch 'Afsluitdijk' for being associated with murdering a sea (don't tell me that wouldn't help the not-water-mage).
And Rome, Harry absolutely should visit the Colosseum or St. Peter's. And given what JB has already shown, I figure he could navigate that without getting gimmicky or offensive (for similar reasons, I don't think Jerusalem's in the cards - too much risk of being offensive by attributing local sources of power to just one faith; at least in Rome all the Pagan sites got picked up by the Church or Tourism so you don't have to say who was right).
Facing the Fomor at Cape Horn would be just the place to put them finally in their watery grave. If they can't stand there, they can never stand.
Meeting Ivy at one of the world's great libraries or museums, and finding just how scary powerful (and useful - I have hope she remains a good gal) she can be in a place where human advancement is celebrated. I think so far she's only been seen in places where animals are celebrated/remembered. She might even be a nice fit for Rome; Vatican Archives anyone, with her filling in the missing pieces Nick and the Nickelheads burned.

Collateral damage to a dam is generally quite the opposite of casualty-mitigating for anyone living down-river.
