Mister can't be purebred.  He's not a longhair so that lets out Maine Coon, and the bobbed tail sort of lets out most other breeds.  That said, I've seen two cats that qualify, so they're out there!  I've a friend out-of-state who owns one of them.  They found him by a dumpster, this tiny little palm-cat who could barely squeak.  Four years later, they have to put him in a beagle-sized dog carrier to take him to the vet.

As for Mouse, there've been a lot of discussions on that score! :D  Even in the books, there are one or two.  I think the Caucasian Shepherd Dog was Murphy's guess.  The Anatolian Shepherd has been suggested, but Mouse is always described as "shaggy", so I don't think they really qualify.  For the same reason, I think we have to disqualify the Neapolitan which is otherwise an exellent candidate.  They've certainly got the drool factor.  My pick would be for a Leonberger, but you'd have to find a gray one.

The Caucasian was Charity's guess, actually.  And yeah, it's how I view Mouse, too. :D  Great research on the other potential breeds, Kali!

okay, so maybe not exactly one Caucasian Shepherd Dog.

Just a regular, good ol dog as loyal as Mouse, then.

Also, I should note my vote is for the Leon 'cause I knew one.  This was a pony dog.  He adored kids, would let them climb all over him, pull his ears, his tail, everything.  Just... don't raise a hand to his owner.  Even in play.  He never attacked anyone, but every Mouse scene where Mouse just kind of stands up and *looks* at someone... Yeah, that was Disney.  (Yes, his name was Disney.)  He'd just stop what he was doing and *look*.  And that was a lotta dog to be lookin'.

You could've found evidence that Mouse was a pink and purple glittery unicorn, but you pulled through!

It's been done in another thread

I think that's enough Wikipedia silliness for one fandom, though. :D

I'm a newbie here and posted this question on a separate forum (knowing that it must have been covered already).

My vote for Harry?  Vince Vaughn.  He's got the height, the sarcasm and the acting skills.  He hasn't always done comedies like "Wedding Crashers".  The first movie I remember him in was "Return to Paradise" with Joaquin Phoenix and that was a pretty heavy drama.  I think he'd be perfect.

I have to say that in these more recent series, with Chuck getting more confident and savvy, I could actually see Zach Levi as a young Harry Dresden.  Maybe when he was with Ragged Angel.  He's definitely got tall-and-lanky down pat, he's 6'3" which isn't bad, and he's got a very expressive face.  He can do snark, and he's got time to grow into Harry's bitter undertones.
