Mistakes Harry has made that will come back
morriswalters:
Harry cut her throat. I don't see any text where he said to Susan. Is this what you want? He didn't say here's my plan. Are you all in? He primed her and aimed her at Martin and pulled the trigger on her emotionally.
This is the point where Harry becomes a monster. He is our monster but none the less a monster. He will do anything to do what it is that he wants to accomplish. Make any deal, use anyone to save his daughter. And a reasonable person might suggest that Harry meant for it to turn out this way given that he says this in Chapter Two.

You can call it pulling the trigger on her emotionally, or you can say he showed her the truth. When she realized that Martin was pulling the double cross and her little girl was going to die because of it, it pissed her off and she proceeded to rip his throat out as most loving mothers would.
Then Harry explains to her as she is turning why the Red King wanted to kill Maggie, further explained that as the youngest vamp, she could kill all of them with her death. Susan is conflicted some as she is turning, then she looks at her daughter, she tells Harry she doesn't think she can do it.
Then she says to Harry; page 419 Changes
--- Quote ---Susan looked back at me,her eyes streaming with tears. "Harry, help me,"she whispered. "Save her please."

At that point, there was only one way to save little Maggie, they both knew it... Yes, she was telling him to cut her throat, it was the only way.

Bob's metaphysical mass is knowledge driven, giving him broadband allows access to the same kind of power explision the Archive has undergone in the digital age.
And it is married to no human conscience or morality

Bob becomes the intellectus of porn, and Harry has to live with that.
“This is Bob my, uh research assistant” said Harry to the buxom young Wizard.
“And intellectus of porn” Bob added, totally killing the moment.

--- Quote from: Mira on September 22, 2021, 11:09:04 PM ---I don't think he gave him to Butters so much as Butters inherited him when Harry "died." It seems like now that Butters is a Holy Knight that he gave Bob back to Harry at some point. Not sure just when, but Harry tells Molly that he is having Bob go over the castle at the end of Battle Ground. Sounds like Bob is back with him, or maybe he and Butters have worked out an arrangement to share. Remember Bob liked the amenities that Butters provided for him, the internet not old prone novels like he got when he lived with Harry.

Implication is that Bob has total recall, and knowledge translates directly into power for him- we're not just talking knowing how to throw fireballs lets him throw fireballs, how hard he throws fireballs is increased when he reads a new biology textbook. A year or two with unfettered high-speed 'Net access 24/7 when Butters doesn't need him, and Bob is now rather terrifying if you think about it. The Archive gets that upgrade axiomatically- but Bob's probably downloading as fast as he can.

1. Handing over the Book of Kemmler to Mavra. She was blackmailing him, but was protecting a friend from her career getting ruined worth handing over a book like that to a monster? I don't think so, and I imagine it's going to come up again.
2. Staking claim to Demon Reach. This was a really big move, and it seems to have worked out well for him. That being said, Jim said "He's going to wish he never stepped foot on that Island". So I imagine it was a bad move.
3. Splitting up Bob. Seemed like a good idea, but I think Evil Bob is out there, allied with who knows who. He had access to horrible knowledge. Can't imagine that will end well.
4. Killing the entire Red Court. Some of that may be becoming apparent already with the Fomor. I'm wondering if Harry will realize he had another option, and the one he chose was the wrong one. As a wizard I'm wondering if he could have worked out a spell, and used that source of power for something else, rather than sacrifice Susan and wipe out out the Red's.
Just some off the top of my head. Can you think of some critical decisions he made that may have appeared right but will return to haunt him later?

Turning down Ebenezar's help after finding out he's the Blackstaff. Well, assuming that He Who Walks Behind did get summoned back like he said rather than just pretending he was to fuck with Harry.
