Line 2:
A TV adaption of ''[[The Dresden Files (Literature)|The Dresden Files]]''. It was aired on the [[Sci Fi Channel]] in 2007 and lasted twelve episodes.
{{tropelist}}
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: Murphy goes from blonde in the books to brunette in the show, while Susan goes from brunette to blonde (See also [[Race Lift]]).
* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: Harry calls Hrothbert of Bainbridge 'Bob'.
* [[Beam
* [[Behind the Black]]: [[Enforced Trope|Literally]]. In the DVD commentary the creators explicitly state that, with regards to how Morgan appears and disappears without being noticed, "the editor likes him" and cuts away from him whenever he needs to not be seen.
* [[Bottle Episode]]: ''Things That Go Bump.''
Line 29 ⟶ 28:
* [[Hero With Bad Publicity]]: Harry in spades. Normals think he is either crazy or a con-man and other wizards are convinced he is a dangerous Black Magic user like the rest of his family.
* [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons]]
* [[Is That What
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: Than the books, which had scarier villains, darker themes and more death and pain. In its defense, it was still on its first season.
* [[Magic Tool]]: Harry uses a drumstick as a wand and a hockey stick as a staff.
* [[Man, I Feel Like a Woman]]: Just barely averted in "The Boone Identity." When Boone bodyswaps with {{spoiler|Murphy}}, he looks down, uncomfortably adjusts the bra, and just notes, "This will be interesting," with a sour expression.
* [[Masquerade]]: As Harry puts it, the High Council's policy is that if you don't already know about the supernatural, you don't get to know. In one episode, Morgan starts to say, about Murphy, that something will have to be done because she found out about the High Council, but Harry cuts him off and says if anything happens to her, he'll make them sorry.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: Immortal, shapeshifting creatures who breathe green fire.
Line 50 ⟶ 49:
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]: Susan, since she does not have her own storyline like she did in the books.
* [[Shout Out]]: "Let me guess, a few years ago you were a [[Star Wars|Jedi knight]], now you're a wizard named [[Harry Potter (Literature)|Harry]]. Must be good publicity, but couldn't you have thought of something a bit more original?"
* [[Star
* [[Stealth Hi Bye]]: Morgan loves doing this, and Harry assumes that he is teleporting. When Harry finally asks how it is done, Morgan explains that he is not teleporting, and it is not ''technically'' invisibility, but that [[Behind the Black|he makes Harry not see him]].
* [[Up to Eleven]]: Invoked by name in the episode ''Hair Of The Dog'' By Harry. He uses some magic chemicals to turn his sense of smell [[Up to Eleven]] to backtrack someone.
* [[Vampires Are Sex Gods]]: In the series, Harry has a sexual relationship with a Red Court Vamp, which in the novels have a more violent and predatory relationship with humans.
* [[We Help the Helpless]]: Harry does what he does 'Because I can.'
* [[What the Hell Is That Accent?]]: In one episode, Harry is reading a book about magical artifacts and tries to say "Le Main De Gloire" <ref> "The Hand Of Glory"</ref> and butchers the French horribly. (Even pronouncing the word for hand like the English word "main".) Bob [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] it immediately.
* [[Wrong Genre Savvy]]: Harry, occasionally. When Bianca kills a Black Court Vampire, Harry steps back from the body. After she gives him a look, he says he always expects them to burst into flames or something, and blames Hollywood for that. Bianca just rolls her eyes.
* [[You Have to Believe Me]]: Harry says this a ''lot'' to both wizards and mundanes. Mostly they don't.
