Harry's open grave

(1/3) > >>

RobReece:
At the end of BG, they filled a coffin and buried it in Harry's open grave.

My question is,  why was it still open?  Harry had been declared dead.  Per Butters, they had a funeral for him... so why was the grave still open during BG.  Why didn't they fill it when he "died"?

I understand that Bianca made special arrangements to have it waiting for his death, and that death took a lot longer than she'd anticipated.   But why not use it when he did die, officially.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Because Bianca had paid for it to be kept open in perpetuity and Harry was never declared legally dead, only a missing person.

Agreed, I don't think anyone on Team Dresden has the clout to get that grave closed without putting a body in it, and they didn't have a body...

side note, I don't think Bianca paid to keep it open, I think she blackmailed... and possibly magiced...

RobReece:
I think he was officially dead, according to Rashid...

That wouldn't have been necessary if he weren't officially dead.

Ed0517:
Such a short term disappearance, they are unlikely to have him declared dead. Government does not work that fast. Plus, it is Chicago, once he is officially dead, they might try to take him off the voting rolls! And the dead never vote red....
