Kristin Chenoweth i think would be the ultimate Murphy. She is larger than life and full of spunk. Plus she looks like Murph as described.

I am a Newb to the books although I have read almost all of them. I watched the show and enjoyed it, thought it was a wonderful concept. I had no idea it was a book series until one day I am waiting in a an airport in Raleigh NC and looking for something to read. As I perused over many a book of forgotten lore I came across the Dresden files storm front. I could not get enough. My only wish is I could have found the books in order and read them that way! My favorite so far has been Dead Beat. Jim really has made a fantastic series come to life with great characters. My Favorites are (besides Harry) have got to be Toot Toot and the Mouse. I have to say though the show did not do the books justice. There was so much they could of done correctly and decided to screw it up. I will be glad when Jim gets the rights back and can possibly do some movies. It is time the harry potter kids found out what true wizardry is like!
