Actually, form what we learn, in the books, Harry raising Sue is where that ley line comes form. His necromantic act created the ley line.

ummmm i don't remember that.  Got a cite for it?

Well, it 'hinted' when Luccio and Harry and Molly are looking at the Ley Line map. Re-read the character interplay and Harry's comments there and oyu'll see what I mean. Not outright stated but its there, between the lines

Actually, Luccio states in Small Favor that one runs directly under the Field Museum; it didn't pool there at all. Harry was able to use the energy of the Ley Line to reanimate Sue, and that was is the middle of a huge ongoing ritual (i.e. the Darkhallow) and on Halloween night; I don't think he could have done it otherwise.

Harry even says so himself.     It took a guy of harry's level of mojo, plus the darkhallow, plus the ley line, plus a tutoring session in kemmlerian necromancy from a fallen angel and a nearly complete skeleton (only missing the skull cause it was busted) to pull off.

As harry says "it wasn't complicated...  Lifting an engine block isn't complicated. "  It just took ALOT of juice.


Dinosaurs might be a stretch without the ley line and the darkhallow breaking the barrier.  Fossilized wolves or sabretooth tigers though?    Game on with some uber prep  8)
