I definitely wouldn't go in and change everything before the end of the series though. Because what if Jim is actually doing something with all of the inconsistencies?

Yes, I've mean they should officially change it, like when in some editions of Storm Front Bianca's girl had a different name (one was Paula, I forgot the other one). And that would only happen if it is a true mistake. In this case it is, because it is not like the metal of his summoning ring. It is something important for both of them, and soulgazes are something you do not forget. I don't know, the only explanation I could think was Lara not knowing the name "soulgaze" and Harry not being in a good mental state.

Bad Alias:
Or some intentional continuity errors because of some multiverse or time travel plot element. I don't really see that, but a lot of people think so.

Another error I saw was Dresden's gargoyles chased Molly's fae delivery men in "Good People," if I'm remembering Molly's short story that goes along with "Christmas Eve."

Dina:
Yes, I've reread both stories yesterday, and yes. Also, Molly gave lots of people gifts "from the wizard of Chicago". At least one of them could have said thank you, but not, there were angry mobs. Harry really needs better PR. Perhaps Paranoid Harry and some paranetters should be on the job, spreading the word that supernatural is going to be, you like it or not, and it is better to have some supernatural good guys to defend people. Harry had been doing all his best, I want he is recognized and thanked for someone beyond Matias.

In fairness, the gifts were anonymous, they don't know that Harry was behind it.  For all of that the people continue to suffer because all the joys and comfort of their modern lives have been pulled out from under them and they want it back last week, with interest! That kind of suffering knows no patience, also they now know that the supernatural world was behind their suffering and who has been the loan openly supernatural guy in their world the last twenty years?  Harry Dresden P.I. and wizard, you can find him in the Yellow Pages, Harry said it himself.. So yeah, that makes him the goat, and the target of their ire..

Dina:
The gifts were from "the Wizard of Chicago". And yes, I understand and that is why I said better PR are needed.  The citizens should learn that the supernatural has come to stay and it is better to treasure those who know how to fight it.
