What has Harry endured?
« on: February 10, 2012, 08:52:10 AM »
Second attempt at making this thread, hopefully I don't get "Waiting for approval" with this thread too.

This thread is here to act as a place to list the various traumas (not just physical injuries, things like Sight trauma or having a friend die in front of you also count as traumas here) great and small that Harry has suffered over the course of the series.

Before Storm Front:

His father dies.

Getting put into foster care.

Getting abused in foster care.

Training from hell from Justin.

Betrayal by Justin.

Fighting HWWB and watching Stan the clerk get ripped into three pieces.

Whatever happened to him with Lea (some think it was "just" torture, some think torture and rape).

Being forced to kill Justin (and from his POV at the time, Elaine).

Injuries from fighting Justin (there was a binding of Electric Eels that worked by causing extreme pain for example)

Getting dragged into Edinburgh for trial.

Storm Front:

Looking at the crime scene at the start of the book.

Beaten with a baseball bat as a warning to avoid the Sells case.

Getting slugged by Morgan.

Getting attacked again with a baseball bat so Sells could get a hair sample.

Looking at Victor's house and everyone in it with the Sight.

Getting shot by Helen Beckitt.

Fool Moon:

Soulgazing the leader of the Streetwolves.

Death of Kim Delaney by him not giving her the information she required.

Getting shot in the shoulder by one of the FBI agents.

Getting nearly choked unconscious.

The shock of using magic without words or gestures on Macfinn.

Left foot nibbled on by Loup-Garou. (a few cuts and tears and a lost boot but no serious damage)

The rampage of the Loup-Garou through SI.

Overused his magic to the point of being unable to use it for a while.

Beaten unconsious by the Lycanthropes after throwing himself out of a car.

Boot to the side of the head from Parker the Streetwolf.

The pain from struggling to hex one of Marcone's cameras.

The Soulgaze with Denton (what is it with him and Soulgazing nutjobs in this book?)

Kicked in the shoulder wound and tossed in a pit by Benn.

The pain from instinctively trying to throw a fuego at the Loup-Garou as he got Marcone free.

The pain from launching the spell to kill the Loup-Garou.

And Fool Moon is the current winner of the most injuries and pains tally unless you count Changes and Ghost Story as one giant two-book chain of traumas.

Grave Peril:

Bad head injury.

The Nightmare taking a chunk out of him for magic.

Forced to poison himself to escape Lea.

Being partially chewed on by the Ramps.

Possibly implied gang rape.

Getting beaten badly enough that he was dead enough to leave a ghost.

Susan being turned into a half-vampire and leaving him to join the Fellowship.

Summer Knight:

Forced to stab his hand and then getting the wound frozen.

Grum was beating the crap out of him until Lea intervened.

Seeing the Queens.

Death Masks:

Tortured by Nicodemus.

Seeing Shiro die a gruesome death.

Susan leaving him for good.

Blood Rites:

Shot by Lara.

Aftereffect of using the bear belt buckle (apparently so bad he has not used it since).

Hand gets cooked.

Shaken by finding out Ebenezar is the Blackstaff.

Dead Beat:

Wounded and nearly killed by Corpsetaker.

Pain from binding the Erlking (apparently comparable to the burning of his arm).

Tortured and nearly killed by Cassius.

Guilt from killing Corpsetaker and Cassius.

Proven Guilty:

Seeing the kid die in the beginning.

Hit and run attempt.

In Proven Guilty Harry realized his macho antics of doing an extended beat down on the alien looking Fetch, may have contributed to the death of one of the Fetch's victims.

Looking at the psychic injuries of people attacked by the Fetches with the Sight.

Forced to dislocate all the fingers in one of his hands when Madrigal tries to sell him on Ebay.

Being forced to relive some memories like his hand being cooked by Lash.

White Night:

Seeing those two sixteen year olds get killed by the Ghouls.

Getting either a bullet bouncing off his duster leading to a concussion or hitting a chunk of ice on the head leading to a concussion.

Getting beaten up in the duel with Vittorio Malvora and Madrigal Raith.

The incapacitation by Vittorio's attack.

Lash sacrificing herself for him.

Small Favour:

Nose broken and two black eyes from first Gruff attack.

Mab freezing his eyes in socket.

Brush with hypothermia after the subway.

The agony from holding in a lot of magic for a while at the aquarium.

Failure to save Ivy at the aquarium.

Nearly drowning at the aquarium.

Nearly choked unconsious by Namshiel.

Watching Michael get shot by Tessa and nearly die.

Beating from Nicodemus while choking him.

Another brush with hypothermia in the waters around Demonreach.

Pain from hearing Mab speak in her own voice rather than through proxy.

Turn Coat:

Looks at the Naglooshi, Shagnasty with the Sight.

Seeing Kirby die and Andi badly wounded.

Wounded by Shagnasty at their fight on Demonreach.

Stabbed by Peabody.

Finding out his relationship with Luccio was the result of psychic manipulation.

Thomas getting broken down (apparently the worst thing Shagnasty could do to hurt Harry in the long run) by torture.

Changes:

His office is destroyed.

His thigh and several ribs are broken.

His car is destroyed.

His house is burned down.

Broken back.

Killing Slate and becoming Winter Knight.

Bashed around by bolt of lightning from Arianna.

Blown out eardrum from the Red King's scream.

Being forced by circumstances to kill Susan.

Being forced to give away his child (and from his POV, probably never see her again).

Being shot and killed.

Ghost Story:

Nearly getting destroyed accidentally by eternal silence.

Getting eaten by the Lemurs.

Seeing Murphy and Molly pretty much fall to pieces without him.

Guilt from how many people got killed because he went and saved his daughter.

The pain after just waking up in his body.

Short Stories:

Restoration of Faith:

Beat up by the Troll.

Framed for kidnapping Faith.

Something Borrowed:

Jenny Greenteeth's attacks on the Wedding.

Heorot:

Injuries from fighting the three thugs.

Injuries from fighting the Grendelkin.

Day Off:

Smoke bomb exploding in his hand.

The Warrior:

Shot in the neck (or was it shoulder?) by the rogue member of the Inquisition.

Last Call:

Getting beat up by magic-drugged Murphy

Love Hurts:

The depression from being forced to break the Love Spell.

This list may be split into two posts if it gets long enough.

Other:

Getting less sex than almost anybody.

Innumberable relatively minor cuts and scrapes.

All the other injuries he gets offscreen between cases (his medical file was apparently larger than some phonebooks as of Dead Beat for crying out loud, and that's just the injuries he's been to doctors for).

Any trauma he gets throughout the series counts (this also includes emotional trauma, watching Michael get shot to pieces for example, or Sight Trauma such as looking at Shagnasty)

In Small Favour, Harry enjoys a refreshing view of some skin changer.

Not to mention the broken back in changes, albeit that's easily remedied by some ancient mortal-Queen of Air and Darkness pact.

Okay, just a few off the top of my head:

Fool Moon - beaten badly by the Lycanthropes, overused his magic to the point of not being able to use it for awhile, watched Carmichael and a bunch of other SI cops die horribly
Grave Peril - Besides Susan getting turned whatever the vampires did to him in the dark that he still has nightmares about, poisoned himself with toadstool, bad head injury, got a bunch of his magic taken away by the nightmare, died for long enough to leave a ghost to help him beat up the nightmare.
Summer Knight - Saw the queens with his sight, stabbed himself in the hand with a letter opener, found out Elaine was alive
Death Masks - tortured by nicodemus, Saw susan again and she told him it was over for good, Saw shiro die horribly
Blood Rites - Can't think of any besides what you mentioned
Dead Beat - Tortured and almost killed by Cassius, Leg injured and almost killed by corpsetaker
Proven Guilty - Watched the kid at the beginning get killed
White Night - Got fairly beaten up in the duel with Vito Malvora and the Raith guy
Small Favor - Failed to save Ivy from the Denarians, almost drowned in the fight at the Shedd, had his eyes frozen by Mab, Got his nose broken by the Gruffs, watched Michael get shot and almost killed
Turn Coat - Saw the Naagloshi with his sight, saw the Naagloshi kill Kirby and badly wound Andi, Found out that Luccio had been forced into a relationship with him and didn't want to date him anymore
Changes - Car got destroyed, house got burned down, broke his spine, Found out he had a daughter that Susan had hidden for him for years, Agreed to be the winter knight, fought in a magical war at Chichen Itza, killed Susan, got shot and nearly killed at the end.
Ghost Story - Found out he was dead (or thought so at the time), nearly got eaten by wraiths a couple times, Lost almost all of himself by using too much magic, hurt by seeing what had happened to all of his friends since he had "died".
Build a man a fire, he'll be warm for a day.

Set a man on fire, he'll be warm for the rest of his  life.

Added along with the beating he got from Nicodemus as he was strangling him, his brush with hypothermia and the pain of holding in magic for a long period of time at the aquarium.

He soulgazed the Victor Sells lake house and everyone in it including a demon.

Looking at this list, no wonder he was depressed enough to consider suicide in Ghost Story. He's wayyyyyyy overdue for some small happiness in his life.
