I'd say Harry is the least likely person in this forum's list of characters to be noted as an adventurer, though he has had his share of journeys. He's more of a PI and happens to be a wizard; the only one listed in the yellow pages for Chicago. If he does happen to be on a search for antiquities, they usually have some sort of mystical, supernatural KaBOOM quality to them.
I saw the show back in 07 (on dvd now), and that prompted me to start reading the series of books by Jim Butcher. Got my father into both as well, and I think we're about neck and neck on the written stories. Both the onscreen and book versions of Harry are great, as are the adjoining characters (Bob, Lt Murphy, etc). I especially enjoy some of the old school sayings Harry has when he's surprised or just plain miffed. Makes me feel like he's in a 1940's crime drama. (Hells bells!)
Anyone else catch the show or read some of the series? It really is worth a look.
