Like one of the other reviewers I'm not familiar with the Dresden universe, but this story has made me eager to at least look at the books.
Admitting my ignorance of Dresden, what is the effect of Harry destroying that man's baton/wand? Are they hard to replace or do they contain some of that man's magical power, or does he simply go to the nearest magic wand store for a replacement?
Will Harry's picture or description be listed on the most wanted list? What was that wizard's authority for drawing a gun, lethal force, on Harry? Was he in law enforcement?
So many questions, so little reading time.
Author's response
DF wizards make their own foci, and they hold no special significance; they can be replaced very easily.
Harry Dresden (the wizard) is a wizard of the White Council and so he technically is a member of law enforcement.
Oh, and what HP did is not nearly enough to get him the most wanted list. It, however, is enough to get him on the kill-on-sight list. The White Council is a pretty funny organisation...
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
