No, Harry being very tall is lore. Good vibe otherwise. Could definitely work with an appropriately tall actor.

The Dresden Files TV show is what got me on to the books. Even with how bad it was, I liked Paul Blackthorne in the role.

Dresden is 6’9” if you need the guy to be tall here is what Hollywood is working with. That said I wouldn’t be surprised if Dresden is 7’1” before the series ends…

The Broken Binding, a UK Press has announced they’ll be releasing editions of The Dresden Files. The early interest list is the only thing open with a full announcement to follow, probably with preview images of cover/dust jacket, and book specifications.
TBB are extremely hit or miss on quality va price for me, especially with shipping from UK. Their one off special editions seem to be okay from what I have, but their monthly subscription series I feel are pretty poor. We’ll see which category these fall under.
The only other two presses I’m aware of that are non mass market are Subterranean Press and Grim Oak. It would be extremely daunting and expensive to find a full set of SubPress Dresden Files. Grim Oak are up through Book 5 pre-order, I’ve posted photos of my copies of those numbered/slip case versions in the thread.
I probably wouldn’t buy a second copy of all these, but if someone was really interested in a matching set for their shelf, TBB may be a good opportunity to do that. Note they’ve only announced Books 1-3, but with Malazan they’ve done all 10 books. Don’t see a reason they wouldn’t do all of Dresden.

I think I will be picking up the TBB editions... hopefully they don't cheap out and actually go with acid-free paper and sewn binding. Finding used copies of anything sub press and grim oak means overpaying like crazy, lol.

I would recommend sticking with James Marsters from start to finish but I, as a rule, dislike multiple narrators.

If you try it, let us know how you like it.
I wish more books had multiple narrators, especially if there's a lot of love interest content.

the narrator so far does a great job at doing a woman's voice in a way that ... is neutral and I can zone out into the story. There's DCC which is so spot on that I didn't know it was a guy reading in a girl's voice. Then there's Neuromancer, in which the dude tries too hard to do a girls voice and the only thing I can remember from that is how often it felt like a tranny was whispering into my ear. Primal Hunter's narrator also does a good job of not making it a distraction in which a guy does a girl's voice.
i'll pick up the drama version for the next book and report back. It's the last one done that way.
