Title: Dragon con videos?
Post by: RobReece on September 07, 2022, 04:18:01 AM
Has anyone seen any  videos posted from Jim's panels?

So far only the cosplay videos are up, panels usually take a bit longer due to editing and clearance by the convention.

I mean do we really need the videos? We already know what he's going to be asked:

How did you come up with the Dresden Files?

Why Chicago?

What about the Jade Court?

Plenty of good info comes out of those panels.
Sure, there's often some overlap/repeat.  But usually, there's at least some new material.

One of the ones I hadn't heard before was "when did marcone pick up the coin?"

New WOJ from Dragoncon.

Worst decision Harry made - rescuing a little girl.

The Blackstaff allows its wielder to perform black magic without it affecting them…for a time.

Murphy will return.

Harry will eventually get a hat, it is currently in the Smithsonian.

Molly will help Harry with mind magic get over his trauma….eventually.

The hat I think may be an original prop Darth Vaders Helmet, it is definitely in the Smithsonian. It would make sense for a nerd like Harry to demand in payment from the Government something like this, the ultimate Star Wars collectible rather than something to keep his head warm/prevent daily concussion. I am not sure he would even wear it, which of course would be in keeping with the running joke. He treasured his original Star Wars poster.

Besides it is the one thing which might actually be cooler than a working Lightsabre, one upping Butters. If faith can make a lightsaber real, then Darth Vaders Helmet is at least at fake Shroud level.

He would but it on display in the Castle next to Excalibur.

Of course Jim appears to have forgotten Harry already has a hat, it is the Crown of Thorns. Maybe he swaps it for Vaders helmet?

Thank you for this info, a question and a couple of comments:

1. Murphy will return. Did Jim say this is these words? Over on reddit, someone attending the con mentioned that Jim said her story isn't over, but I imagine that doesn't have to mean, necessarily, that she'll be back in this storyline. Harry could just hear about her through someone else or something like that. Some speculate that it means she'll just be back for the Mirror Mirror story, which is not really "our" Murphy. So, I'm curious about the most accurate WOJ on this, lol (I'm too invested in Murphy probably, lol).

2. The hat. I've heard some people speculate it is Indi's hat (as in Indiana Jones, which apparently is at the Smithsonian too)

3. Molly helping Harry get over his trauma with mind magic. I just have to say that that gives me the chills.

Or Harry time travels back to before her death. Covers it up with mind magic - or Winter Lady Molly does it. Law only applies to full humans, right?  Plus, no one will SEE Murphy, right?

Jim being Jim might do a Murphy or Hendricks POV in Valhalla, he gave the return info freely, so I suspect a catch.

The hat, again a catch this is information freely given by Jim, not exactly a hat but would fit in totally with Harry favourite fandom, which has been shot through the files which is not Indiana Jones. If so he should also hold out for the original Yoda puppet in the Smithsonian. Jim expects us to go through the 16,000 images of hats on the Smithsonian Website. Not the images of helmets.

The Mind Magic again likely a catch, for all we know Mab orders Molly to help Harry get over his cold feet in his marriage to Lara. That would be painful.

Jim tells us things like this to troll us, it’s his greatest joy.

I kinda assumed it was churchill's bowler hat when he said it. 😆

Ooof.

Question, then -- which little girl?

Faith, from "Restoration of Faith"?
Lydia, from Grave Peril?
Molly, from Arctis Tor & from her own Black Magic path? 

His own daughter???  (I don't think Jim wants to write that dark (and I think recent WoJ's suggest he's still unclear on Little Maggie's future)... but maybe I'm wrong...)

Maybe Molly - mind magic will not likely curse her soul, but surviving it to become Winter Lady, she might do a Big Bad... or Harry thinks she has

You missed Ivy, Bradley’s daughter, Lara’s sister etc - a typical Jim answer

Oh, yeah... Ivy.   :-[   Seriously worried that Ivy actually picked up a coin, and the "rescue" was a scam run on Harry & the Scoobies to "prove" that she hadn't.

But I wasn't trying to list all of "little girls" that Harry had rescued, just a sample (but explicitly including Maggie).

Faith Astor, somewhere there is a WOJ saying she will show up at the end.

I think it was just, "we'll see her again" not necessarily "at the end" ...  OTOH, Jim might decide it would make a nice "bookend" for the Casefiles of Harry Dresden!

Wasn't (grown up) Faith Astor supposed to be the femme fatale client who kicks off the BAT?

That's more info than I recall; only that we would be seeing her again.

Murphy's return could be part of Mirror, Mirror as we should be seeing Alternate Universe versions of various characters.

I have always wondered if Harry will bring one back with him.

My thought, but beyond that there is I believe Murphy story to go than that. If he is going to bring someone back it is likely to be Chandler, but I would like Morgan.

Unlike Morgan and Murphy, we did not see Chandler killed. He's missing and presumed dead. Might be being held and tortured for info too.

Common consensus is that Drakul put him in a parallel world, as Chandler recognised Drakul, Drakul recognised Chandler,  and may have stashed him there for future interrogation about what he knows about him. Trying to turn him may have failed if Chandler is indeed is helping to develop countermeasures to that.

Drakul is an immortal or at the least ageless and very powerful, time may not mean the same to him ‘later’ may be a year or two, so Drakul can at his leisure retrieve Chandler and torture the info out of him, knowing no one in the WC can retrieve him.

Drakul could have killed Chandler outright, but didn’t either Chandler was an Ally or had information Drakul wanted. Putting him out of reach of the WC would suggest the latter.

  I think this will be the case, I don't think it too significant that Chandler and Drakul recognized one another, or it seemed that way.  As Warden I am sure they had run ins before..  I see Harry rescuing Chandler and he either becomes a stanch ally for Harry in the White Council, or he is double dealing and ultimately betray Harry.
