Titania is fine, her niece by her identical twin is now her daughter, and not nemfectected to boot.

Any antagonism she might feel towards Harry isn’t professional. It’s personal, and seeing Harry marry Lara scratches that itch, I bet her wedding gift is a sumptuous marriage bed, just to rub it in to Harry.

A bed of roses, no flowers, all thorns.. ::)

  Unless it is more like a transporter as in Star Trek, but that is using a device.

No, it isn't.  The discussion was how Harry specifically, plus LtW, River Shoulders, and the wardens did vs Drakul and the Black Court Vampires.  The result was a loss.  "surviving is a win" was LtW referring to how he and River Shoulders did vs Drakul.  The vampires suffered no casualties while team Dresden lost people (who are now probably vampires). 

Also as I stated previously, Harry lost.  He was dead to rights and got rescued.  Being rescued by someone isn't a victory for you.  If I was being held hostage and police saved me, it wouldn't be my victory. 

So Harry and the Wardens got beat by the BCV's.

Yeah, they took losses, but they weren't all wiped out.  I think a "win" as far as Mavra and Drakul are concerned is a dead and turned Harry.. They didn't get that.

Per Jim, covid is caused by the Jade Court. Who are vamps who live on breath, somehow.

It's an internally consistent view in the Dresdenverse.

Perfect, since it is the lungs of those infected that suffer the most damage, often fatally so.

Nope. Free will trumps celestial power. If a human saint chose to lay that sort of curse, there would be a price to pay. But nobody can stand in the way of free will.

No, but while a saint, again a stretch, but if a saint chose to put a curse on Michael.  He or she could do that of his or her own free will.  However that doesn't prevent the Almighty from removing it or curing Michael of it.  He'd be removing the curse, that in no way interferes with the saint's free will to put it on in the first place.

By that logic, Harry is more powerful than Mab, Titania, the Erlking, and Odin combined because he was the only one that could take down Ethniu after they tried.  He'd be the most powerful wizard in the world by leaps and bounds.  That's not what this thread is about.  It's about where Harry ranks among wizards in a fair fight.

He may be before it is over, especially if he is going to be among the leaders in the BAT.

Pretty sure they're asexual, and the Tor's a building

 Asexual?  Mr Ferro is a mister..  If he was asexual, I'd think he'd just be called "Ferro."

It's worth noting that Chauncy described the MacFinn curse as "said to have been laid by a saint", not "was laid by a saint". He can provide incorrect rumor implied as fact, the same way propaganda actors use "a lot of people are saying" to imply there must be some fire behind the smoke.

But cursing an entire bloodline of people to become ravening homicidal monsters with no choice but to kill seems pretty far from saintly. Aside from the trail of destruction, it's also tampering with the MacFinns' free will. A sufficient power could do it, but could they do it and still be on the right side of the Almighty's graces?

Could even be the Fallen were behind that and framed a saint for PR against the Christianization of Ireland, and Chauncy is repeating their lie as a "said to be".

Yup, one of the worst kind of lies, because it is so hard to refute rumors, as long as there are ears to hear them, someone will believe them.

Maybe one we thought was dead?

I think one could, unless they lose strength in the Nevernever, I think one would be hard to stop.

I've already said that in MMverse, Molly is either dead or a warlock. What if she's a warlock and still is Harry's apprentice?

Or not, in this universe Molly never fully dropped her warlock status, she slipped back into it more than once.  Like using the dark side of the Force, she continued to go into minds when she thought it was right and it was the quick and easy way.. All that time she continued to be Harry's apprentice and put him in danger as well as herself.  No, in the  MMverse, she might be that plump happy mother Harry saw in the soul gaze, forsaking all her power like her mother did.. Leaving Harry without any back up.

I'd put Cowl Senior Council level as well.

Mavra was the drummer so weakest of Drakuls entourage.

  But in the end it isn't about one on one..  It is about leadership,  it is about those who will follow that lead.   That's what really scares the Senior Council, yeah, anyone one of them one on one is stronger than Harry and most likely could take him, but it isn't about that.  When the flying squid thingies were raising havoc when the battle begun, there were Senior Council members present, for all their personal power and knowledge they couldn't do squat in an effective manner to stop them.  Enter Harry, a word to his loyal Za'Gard, and they took them.. Same against Mavra and Drakul, yeah, one on one, they were screwed, three Wardens, killed or dispatched to another dimension.. But while it was bad, they didn't win, not because one of the wizards or the sash-quash was badder than the rest, but because of Harry's loyal little army, following orders to go and get the garlic..

They didn't handle them.  Toot and the little folk showed up, and started attacking with garlic.  If not for them, Harry and the others would have been killed.

But that is part of it, isn't it?  Winning is a team effort, Harry has that kind of loyalty, Mavra never will.

There have only been like three chances total?  One in DB when they met and Cowl was playing with Harry (I don't count the end there because Harry sucker punched him when he was managing the Darkhallow).  One in WN when Cowl zapped him through Little Chicago and busted it.  Then again in the Raith Deeps when he let in the uber-ghouls and the pteradactyl before leaving altogether and not really fighting Harry. 

Cowl has shown Senior Council level of power and control (possibly because he's Simon, a former Senior Council member).  I think he takes down Harry in a fair fight, but with the winter knight's mantle it could be closer.  Kinda like the Harry/Eb fight.

Yet, those times you mention, compared to Cowl, Harry is very young and inexperienced without
the aid of a mantle of any kind, further though the shadow of Lasciel was in his head for part of the time, she didn't enhance his power or magic.  Still he held his own, I disagree that Cowl was simply toying with him in their first meeting, Harry has grown since they last met in knowlege, mantel, and experience.

Cowl takes Harry, easily.

Really?  That hasn't happened in spite of the so called advantage Cowl supposedly has, as in age and experience.

Not to worry, the closest equivalent to Maleficent is the one ordering the ceremony, pretty sure she's automatically invited.

What about Titania?
