So Fitz is...

Well I can't disprove that theory but I think that stretch is worthy of a bungee cord.

In other words if you needed to build that kind of circle to call up whatever or contain whatever, you were up to no good.. Remember his buddy Morgan? At that point in time Harry didn't know he was really looking out for his welfare.

I think it was some of the glyphs in the circle were for containing "don't screw with them things". Sort of like walking to your local pet store in midtown Manhattan and asking for a cage for your pet. When they are thinking "Is it a parakeet? Or maybe a cocker spaniel?" and you are asking about inch thick bars that could hold a tiger or grizzly.... that sets off alarms.

I think it is more like someone walking into a pet store and asking for the kind of cage that would hold King Kong, but the person asking for it had no clue of what a gorilla even looked like. The store owner though knowing about King Kong, isn't allowed to talk about him because the pet store merchant organization forbids any discussion about King Kong, except among experienced zoo keepers. And yes, building such a cage without a license could cost you your head...
Fool Moon, page 8
--- Quote ---To say nothing of what the White Council would think of a nonwizard toying with major summing circles. The White Council didn't take chances with things like that. They just acted, decisively, and they weren't always particular about people's lives and safety when they did it.

I think that pretty well spells it out..

ah, sounds like a "stop by any means necessary" not a sentence as such but... if they die, they die.

From Fool Moon page 5-6
1] " The White Council of Wizards did no allow the discussion of demons that could be called to earth
beings of spirit that could gather flesh to themselves."
2]"But this third circle was built to stop things that could transcend those kinds of boundaries. It was a cage for demonic demigods and archangels."
Then if you jump to "Proven Guilty" and what the Merlin says about the White Council's views about young warlocks after they executed the Korean Kid. They are not going to fool around with an amateur who builds that kind circle to cage a demigod or archangel. They will assume the worst, "by any means necessary," means just that, fatal, even if it is messy.
