Any plans for Jim to hit up Europe? I think I heard London mentioned - how about Berlin?

OMG, that would be awesome!  To my knowledge (and I'm new here) no - no summaries like that.

However, forum member wardenferry419 did a really cool list of comparisons &/or suggestions (future books) here, under the thread title of "Possible Patterns".  That thread is now locked, however.   

Super cool post; glad you pointed that one out! We could do some fixing now that SG's out. But it's pretty cool how close those summaries were! Wrong character becoming the new KotC, wrong context for Lash and/or Lasciel, but pretty darn close. The subjects were right on the money! How much had Jim already revealed at that point?

Can we either resurrect that thread or I start a new one on similar lines?!

Is there a recent thread on foreshadowing?Confirmed and suspected?

http://www.jimbutcheronline.com/bb/index.php/topic,41848.0.html is the most recent one I've seen.

She certainly has the build, but can she do intimidating cop?

Not a clue. I sure hope so.

Also, I just watched Backwards (usedta row in college) and.... James Van der Beek could be Harry or Thomas in my book. In fact, when I saw him, I realized it was kind of how I've pictured Harry without even knowing it. I don't know if he can do the rage or darkness, but hey, I like the way he looks!

I agree that he doesnt fit the look, and I dont know about the Hellfire Rages, but I will say that in a recentish episode of Castle, when his daughter was kidnapped, he definitely proved he can do frightening dark.  Put a beard on him and I could easily get behind him as a choice for Michael.

My thing about Nathan Fillion is his voice. Michael has to be deep and reassuring. I think Nathan's great, but he just has this nasality no matter who he plays that often grates on my nerves. Anywho, I haven't seen Castle but I could imagine him doing frightening dark. Nasally.

I think he is described as having a British accent but its possible Im assuming that from the overwhelmingly British tone of the Council.  He uses some form of old Germanic for his spells, so that may be were the German came in.

Just reread DB (like, finished it within the last 12 hours), and I thought Morgan's spells were Greek...

Another thought for Butters - has anyone suggested Simon Helberg yet? (Moist from Dr. Horrible and he plays someone on the Big Bang Theory)

Yeah, he's kind of young and pretty to play Butters. He's just now 30.  Also, I hate to harp on the height thing, but he's 5'10".  JB is specific about Butters height - I could give a couple inches leeway, but not 7" (and therefore average height).

I still really like Johnny Galecki for Butters, but if not him then maybe David Krumholtz?

Mr. Universe for Butters?! Yesplz!
