Didn't Jim say there'd be no more Dresden tykes? Not that he couldn't change his mind.

Yeah, I don't think Harry's height is a really big issue as long as he is at least six-four or five, since he'd be seen as above average in height.  My main reason for that is though Jim keeps saying Harry is six foot nine, he writes him like he is a much shorter guy of maybe six foot three or even a little shorter.

Harry's height is sort of like the inverse of Nero Wolfe's weight. Rex Stout wrote Wolfe as though his weight is this major issue. But Wolf is 270 lbs on a 5'11" frame, which isn't healthy but isn't as life constraining as depicted.

I still don't think so, simply because both Lara and Thomas seemed to think that if she truly loved the guy she went off with there was an excellent chance that the Hunger would be burnt out.  I don't think there would have been a chance if it had even gotten a taste.  I think that fact that her lips blistered so quickly, Harry was protected and she couldn't feed.  I think there is a fine line, yes, in prep for the feeding the vamp gives pleasure, that makes the victim vulnerable.  It was close, but Harry was still fighting her, poor little puppy Mouse was beside himself.. Had he been full grown Inari would have ended up the victim.

Agreed that the Hunger didn't get fully going, and that allowed Inari to kill it when she and her true love, Gawain Commando finally consummated their relationship.

If I remember correctly Inari never fed on Harry at all, not even a nibble.  The reason being Harry understood right away what was happening and he also had no interest of that kind in a young teenage girl nor fatal statutory rape.
If her Hunger Demon died, she is just a vanilla human, no powers.

Inari stopped with Harry because her lips were burned.

Her eyes flashed pure and empty white, and her skin began to grow luminous and pearlescent.  I tried to fumble some words out of my mouth, to tell her to stop.  They didn't get past my tingling lips. ... Cold started spreading through me -- delicious, sweet cold that stole warmth and strength even as the pleasure began.

And then the damnedest thing happened.

Inari let out a panicked shriek and staggered back from me. [pp. 154-155 of Blood Rites

That reads like Inari's Hunger was awakened and it was beginning the feeding when the burn shocked Inari out of it.

Piecing the bits from Blood Rites and Bigfoot on Campus together I took it that the lack of knowledge of the Hunger means its first feeding is uncontrolled by the host (you can't control that which you don't know you have to control) and that first killing feed gives the demon a hold on the host it wouldn't otherwise have.

Because of Irwin, Connie has her Hunger awake and intact, but her soul isn't bound by it like those who killed their first lover. She remains an innocent in that way.  Not sure what all the ramifications of that might be. She probably still doesn't know to exert control, or how to control the extent of the feeding. With Irwin she doesn't need to worry about it.

Well we know from Inari that the full Hunger doesn't kick in until after the first kill. Connie also may not have a kill(unknown) and now her love with Irwin may prevent full awakening just like Inari.

We know that the Hunger doesn't kick in until the first feeding. Connie proves that it doesn't require the kill. We know that Irwin was Connies first lover so we know she doesn't have a kill. We know that her Hunger is fully active and from the night of orgy it can absorb more lifeforce from Irwin than a vanilla human contains. What Connie doesn't have is the soul scarring from having killed her first lover, something Whamp parents have considered a necessary rite of passage.

What we don't know is if Jim has plans to do much with this info before Harry ends all Hunger. And whether that last will occur after having destroyed the Black Court or before, though I think after.

Harry Dresden, destroyer of all three Western vampire courts (only the Jade remains).

This thread has twisted reality in a way I didn't expect. Hats off to the posters.

Consider a couple of things.  First, no vampire child could have ever been a product of true love.  Think about it.

I don't believe that's the case. If the act of sex that places the imprint of true love on the partners is also the one which results in the pregnancy then the child would be the product of true love. For example, if Justine had become pregnant the night Thomas fed on her at the end of Blood Rites.

Second question I get that the Big Foot's boy can feed his vampire lover because of his reserves but how does she keep from getting burned if they have true love between them?

They didn't seem to have gotten to that point in their relationship when we see them in Bigfoot on Campus. Can you imagine the fight they might have if one of them gets angry that this hasn't become an issue for them? "You don't truly love me, otherwise there'd be 3rd degree burns!"

Well, Mab also told Lara that Harry was part of her house and not to eat that "porridge" or unlike Goldilocks the bears will have eaten you. Or something along those lines. I don't have my copy in front of me at the moment. And I don't think they can consummate the relationship without Lara addicting Harry.

Margaret wasn't completely under Papa Raith's spell and she wasn't even a starborn. A interesting question in light of Bigfoot on Campus is how much Harry's growing powers would allow Lara to feed on him without completely draining him if she really needed it.

Is that the solution for Thomas, a lady Bigfoot?
