The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Does anyone think Harry isn’t the original Merlin?
LordDresden2:
I really doubt Harry is literally a younger version of THE Merlin. I don't want him to be that, either. It's too simplistic, it's almost the classic time travel time loop story.
But I do think that there is some strong connection of some sort between Merlin and Harry, and I suspect that Harry might, way down the road, master magic at Merlinian levels. But that would probably be off-stage and post-story. I suspect Harry will eventually meet Merlin, too, either because he's still out there somewhere or through time travel.
(Another possibility that I've toyed with, though I don't think it likely, is that the culmination of the series will end with The Magic Goes Away, i.e. the world becomes non-magical and the supernatural powers fade away. But I don't expect that.)

I hope not, too much like a variation of the Terry Goodkind series, "The Sword of Truth."

Just you wait, it's only a matter of time until Harry defeats communism by making a giant statue of himself and butchers the evil pacifists.

I ... guess this is a further riff on "Sword of Truth" (the sundial statue "Life"?)
I'm pretty sure that Jim pretty-rigorously avoids politics (as Harry, he denigrates all politicians equally, just as politicians, without ever calling out specific policies).
And your own remarks in themselves seem to be straying well-into the explicitly-disallowed territory... even if you're "just making a joke" or "forgot the /s" or whatever.

I don't think so, nothing political in referring to other fantasy series, and the Dresden Files is all about war, peace, good, and evil... You really can't discuss the Dresdenverse without getting into those things, the world has been thus since the beginning of time.. In my opinion no one's toes politically or religiously have been stepped on..
