The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
The Law and novella
g33k:
Also, it's a bit of a recurrent element that Dresden uses McCoy's staff-pattern, and a tree from his farm.
I wouldn't wonder if there's some setup there, where McCoy is following something Blackstaff-influenced, and that Harry's own staff habits are (in some ways) pre-conditioning him to wield the Blackstaff itself...
Conspiracy Theorist:
The exception is Harry’s current staff, made from an Oak branch from a Demonreach Tree.
Given Harry’s intellectus he would have been able to select the perfect branch physically and magically.
Still to the McCoy pattern though.

Anyway, hockey is a big thing in Chicago, lots of small neighborhood outdoor ice rinks and hockey leagues advertised at all of them. My six year old grand daughter caught the ice skating bug for a bit. Anyway as a result we visited a couple of these small rinks, but never did I see one kid, let alone adult walking around with a hockey stick.

I heard you, you are not the first to tell me that. It surprises me because hockey is not too much of a big deal here (I mean, there are a lot of people practicing Hockey, it is just not something people plays everywhere) and still is common to see teenagers (especially girls) carrying hockey sticks in the bus and, not so common but not weird, a few adults too. Harry would have passed for a hockey teacher or player without any problems, at least in his first years.

I don't think there are many hockey players that are nearly seven feet tall with their skates on. So that in of itself would make him seem odd.
Dina:
That is true, I never thought of that because the actor of the show is not so tall.
Anyways, I am sure an eventual reboot won't have Harry carrying a hockey stick. I think they are going with a magical solution where Harry's staff can magically shrink to appear as a normal walking cane or even more, to something that can be hidden in normal clothes.
