Line 64:
** Harry himself tends to avoid this, however, because a) he's not as powerful as he'd like to be, and b) he doesn't believe in getting into a fight when he can't win.
*** Power isnt really the problem in Harry's case. As far as that rating among the magic community hes up among the top 30, possibly top 20, most powerful in the known world. He just doesnt have the experience or the fine control over that power to really make good on it. As he said a few times, hes the one you go to when you need something done big, dumb, and loud.
* [[One Mario Limit]]: Averted. Harry is very aware of [[Harry Potter|the other wizard named Harry]], and he is also aware that his father named him after several stage magicians, his first name coming from [[wikipedia:Harry Houdini|Harry Houdini.]].
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: Mac [[The Bartender]] is also [[The Quiet One]]. The seriousness of any particular book is proportional to the number of words that he says. A complete sentence or two is enough to scare Dresden. In ''Changes'' he goes on for a good-sized paragraph.
** In ''Warrior'', the villain got [[Nice Guy|Michael]] mad enough to actually swear, another thing that shocks Harry.
