And this makes a difference how?! ;D
OF WITH THEIR HEADS I SAY!!
If your vampires will start glittering in the sun we'll have a serious problem, sir!
You shouldn't give me such great ideas all the time ... I'm your GM you know ;).
I can see it clearly now: Vampires with glittering suntan lotion potion, provided for them by some evil genius dark wizard lord who ... but ... we are derailing the thread ;D
Aww, come on...they shifted their own shapes, no lawbreaker here.
That's a cool list, Blackblade, thanks :)I take it the movies don't make clear how much study and work is necessary in transfiguration? And how much trouble Ron has learning to apparate?
Thought I began this entirely in jest, I think you could take from this that if you're going to use this system to run that world then the Lawbreaker power definitely gets modified. (Shallow attempt to make the thread "RP"-worthy)
Other things to consider is that magic is more of a fix and patch in Potterverse than Dresdenverse. There doesn't seem (from a movie perspective - I know, heretic, unclean, hiss boo) to be quite the same quasi-scientific approach. Magic seems to operate on intent rather than knowledge or fact, so that if your intentions are clear it works the way you want rather than you having to meticulously coordinate it.
Thanks Vryce for the helpful commentary.
Anytime… I was a fan until I read the last of the Potter books, and if I let myself talk about the books ill go into a 40 min rant on the crap that was allowed to be put out. So I keep it easy… kill them all.Book 7 sort of killed interest in Potter for me, also.

Get out of my head! That was almost exactly what I was thinking! ...
... Probably makes for a good drinking game: "Every time Ron, Hermine and Harry break a law of magic drink a shot!"
i liked the 7th book it wasnt my fav but all in all i thought it was good if i may ask what was so wrong with it in your opinionI'm not saying it's bad. It just isn't my cup of tea. "Love conquers all" doesn't do it for me. Add to that controlling, manipulative Snape, which seemed to me to be served up attempted to be disguised as love, which totally creeped me out. That's just me. I know others who enjoyed it considerably.

All I thought was, why Doesnt Harry pull out his 44 and blast some fools?

An alternate approach: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&v=sc0e1jsoohY (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=iv&v=sc0e1jsoohY)they showed that here at the Alamo Drafthouse before the new Harry Potter. I was the only Adult there other than my wife, and I was laughing very loudly :P.

To be honest, the laws of magic (while fairly reasonable from a certain point of view and certainly valid for the Dresdenverse) are pretty strict. I mean, Dr. Strange has broken more than his share and he's a superhero! :) I'd be more surprised to find other fantasy settings where major mage characters fall within the Laws.Thats what makes The Dresden Files cool.
