I hadn't heard of The Dresden Files until I stumbled on the TV show. When I found out it was cancelled I hunted down the books, hoping they would be as good, and surprise! They were even better, way better! I still get a bit confused how I picture certain characters who appear different in the show and the books, usually a bit of a mixture!  Harry is Harry, and I really liked the actress who played Murphy, even though her physical description isn't like the book Murphy. I am interested to know, those who watched the TV show first - how do you picture the characters when you read the book?
