I have a question that is driving me (more) nuts. Who was/is Harry's grandmother on the McCoy side?

[Rasins]

Do you mean Margaret's Mother?

[Xandarth]

Harry has, and has worn, a black baseball cap with coca-cola written in red letters on it.

Hasn't he worn a Burger King crown before? Or is that a product of my imagination?

[TheCuriousFan]

Yes he did, back in Fool Moon. He also proclaimed that he was the Burger King in that scene IIRC.

We don't know. We do know that she'll only be relevant if Jim decides to write a prequel set back in the French and Indian war though.

[Xandarth]

I for one can't wait till we see a cover with Harry wearing his Burger King crown.

It's good to be King, baby.

[Al-Hajj Bilal Ammar Jihad]

Only answering the ones I don't have to look up in the books (which would be cheating.  Also time-consuming):

1.   What is the name of Harry’s car?  The "Blue Beetle"
2.   Where did Harry get his staff?  Carved it from a lightning-struck oak on his grandfather's Ozark farm.
3.   What color are “Gentleman” Johnny Marcone’s eyes?  Green
4.   What is the name of Harry’s preferred pizza delivery service?  Pizza 'Spress
5.   How many Sidhe queens are there and what are their titles?  Six--Mothern Winter, the Winter Queen and the Winter Lady; Mother Summer, the Summer Queen and the Summer Lady
6.   Who is Harry’s godmother?  The Leanansidhe
7.   What is the incantation for Harry’s fire spell? There's two--"Fuego" and "Flickum Bicus"
8.   Which of Harry’s spells uses the incantation “Vintas Servitas”?  Air (Wind) spell
9.   Mavra is the leader of what supernatural group?  Black Court of Vampires
10.   Who owns the only Sword of the Cross that has never been reforged?  Michael Carpenter (well, now Harry does...)

14.   What characters have appeared in every Dresden Files story so far?  Karrin Murphy.  Toot-toot Minimus. All I can think of...

17.   What is Harry’s full name?  Harry Copperfield Blackstone Dresden

19.   Who is the current Summer Knight?  Fix

23.   What was the wine poisoned with at Bianca’s masquerade party?  Vampire venom
24.   How many ingredients does a potion have? Five
25.   Which guests received gifts at Bianca’s masquerade party?  The Leanansidhe, the Dragon (whose name escapes me), Harry and--I think--one more

LOL, just figured out to work the "spoiler" function on the original post (I am only slightly less computer-savvy that Harry) so I can see how much I got wrong.  But I do disagree with a couple of the "right" answers too--"flickum bickus" comes to mind, because Harry occasionally still uses it.  Therefore should have been included with "fuego".

[Al-Hajj Bilal Ammar Jihad]

What about that kid in Texas?  The one who answered the phone with "Howdy"?

Oh yeah, just remembered--the other title of Ebenezer besides "Black Staff" was "War Leader".  And I misspelled the Merilin's last name in my "trivia" answers--it's "Langtry".

[۞†Grey Warden†۞]

Actually isn't his other title Senior Council?

Humans or non-humans?  If the latter probably Wizard McCoy (in "Changes"--200 at a pop.)

[TheCuriousFan]

What is the body count (onscreen) by Harry through the series?

That would be difficult to tell,

things like the giant gravity spell and the bloodline curse will throw off any attempt at providing an exact number

Good point.  But McCoy's been wizarding since 1812 at least, and has had considerably longer to amass his body-count, and as the Blackstaff a freer hand in doing so.

Wasn't either Krakatoa or the original Russian Meteor strike mentioned
in regards to Eb being somehow involved?
