Is Harry going back to his roots a good thing?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Conspiracy Theorist:
He is back where he started but is he? Harry has to realise as part of his healing process that he can’t recreate the past but will instead have to embrace his future, his subconscious needs to move on. The fragment of Dread Beast Mister seems to suggest he is wallowing in his depression in the Castle.

BrainFireBob:
He's the owner of a great big castle in the middle of Chicago, the infamous Wizard of Chicago, who took down a Titan and serves as Winter Knight.

I don't expect PI cases. I expect either government liaison work with the Librarians or becoming the true head of the Paranet, responding to crisis calls from members. He's too notable now. He's too infamous a fish for the fringes where his cases were before.

I half-expect either him to challenge Marcone for Baron of Chicago or for Butcher to pull some kind of Arthur-Merlin parallel where Merlin actually didn't like Arthur that much but boy, boy got things done.

morriswalters:
For Butcher this keeps the Barbarians(us) in check while he gets down to business, whatever that might be.

seanham:
I'm not sure that Harry is going back to his roots. At the end of Battle Ground, Harry has a conversation with Michael and says something along the line of (sorry don't have my book with me right now)  "Something has to change. Marcone was ready; he prepared. Without him, we would have lost. I can do more; I have to do more." I think that this next stage in Harry's life will be preparing him and his city for the next fight. We can see this with the gargoyles in the Christmas story. Yes, he is back in the same location as he once was, but his life situations are completely different. Harry does not have the time to solve every missing person case or lost item that people call about. Instead, his work will be for Never Never superpowers (fairies, old gods, ext.) or find items to increase his own power or that of his allies. The one thing that will remain constant will be that Harry will do everything in his power to protect his family.

Conspiracy Theorist:
The brief bit of Harry we see in the fragment of Dread Beast Mister is very different to the Harry we see in Christmas Eve, as is the Harry at the end of that story.

I think in Dread Beast Mister, we are going to see a Harry wallowing in his misery in the Castle. Whatever Toot does it pushes Harry towards being the more functional Harry we see at the start of Christmas Eve, willing at least to put on a facade
