My Wizard Boyfriend Harry

I’ve had a thing for Harry Dresden from the very first book. He’s just so clever and funny and nice, yet he’s a flawed character, too. I enjoy his interactions with his little skull sidekick and the will-they-or-won’t-they relationship he has with Murph, the police detective he often works with. But dude, I’ve never looked at a cover of a Dresden book and thought, “Man, Harry is mothafuckin’ fine.” Until now. Maybe it’s my menstrual hormones or whatev, but damn, check out homeboy. He is lookin’ mighty fine, like a pissed off James Marsden or something. He’s all grim and brooding and holding his staff (hee!) with total authority. Yo, he is even working the shit out of that fog! I’ve always thought of Harry as a grown up version of that Potter kid except raised in Chicago, but I think the Potter kid will grow up looking more like k.d. lang than homeboy over here, you know what I’m sayin’? Damn, he’s even rockin’ the shit out of his foofy trenchcoat. Thugs be goin’ up to Harry sayin’ shit like, “Dude, why you lookin’ like a reject from Rocky Horror and shit?” And he’d point his staff (yes, it does look like a penis head) at them and zzzzzzap! See ya, sucker. Man oh man, I do love the cover of this book. It makes me wanna shill out the 20 bucks for it. I usually only buy LKH on hardcover (’cause I’m an idiot), but I may just make an exception for Mr. Dresden ova here. C’mere, sugar. Show me how you work that staff.

Oh, and happy thanksgiving, bitches!

    Wow.
    If there’s anything left after you’re finished with him, send him my way.

    is it just me or is the top of that staff blatantly phallic? (Like beyond symbolic and into graphically depicted cockiness….)

    Or have i been reading too many Bam-mentaries?
    Uh, no - not just me… blew it up in photoshop, top of that very manly staff is practically oozing…. hmmmmm - where did my husband go? i think i need to go jump him. right now.

    I think he looks more like Hugh Jackman, but I will still drool.

    They’re making a tv show out of this. Paul Blackthorne’s playing Dresden - it’s supposed to premiere on Sci-Fi in January. There’s alot of info about at exisle.net.

    Paul Blackthorne

    is alright, but man, it would have been cool if they’d chosen James Marsden. I mean… it’s not like he’s busy right now, right?

    Yeah, and that cover does really look like him. I heard they also tried to get James Marsters (Spike) at first, but he couldn’t do it or wasn’t interested.

    Robyn, that IS Hugh Jackman. Check out all of the Van Helsing pictures online. Mmmm…Hugh Jackman. I know the majority of Bammites don’t find him hot…but he is definitely on my island!
