My Favorite Wizard Named Harry

HARRY DRESDEN—WIZARD Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment

So reads the Yellow Page ad for Chicago's only Wizard P.I. Harry Dresden. To say I love Harry is like saying vampire books are sort of hot right now. Jim Butcher's Dresden books are hands down without a doubt, my absolute favorite series. No one wise asses, fights monsters, or saves the world quite like Harry. Not because he's the bravest, strongest or most powerful of wizards but because he is RELENTLESS.
"I don't want to live in a world where the strong rule and the weak cower. I'd rather make a place where things are a little quieter. Where trolls stay the hell under their bridges and where elves don't come swooping out to snatch children from their cradles. Where vampires respect the limits, and where the faeries mind their p's and q's. My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. When things get strange, when what goes bump in the night flicks on the lights, when no one else can help you, give me a call. I'm in the book." 
How's that for a quote? Oh, and did I mention he's funny?
        'If I need you I'll give you a signal.'
        What signal?"
        'I'll imitate the scream of a terrified little girl'
