I laughed so hard reading this! Well played!

Voldemort “…..Now I feel bad “ (Also apparently he read the books )

Dresden: What's a Dementor? Voldemort: Those unspeakable horrors I sent after you that you burned to a crisp. Dresden: Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?

"And that's just a normal alley in Chicago. What happened to your nose, darth bathrobe?"

V: Those flying black robed things that tried to suck out your soul? H: That could be one of 10 things ive fought recently... or one of my ex-lovers...

And in the phonebook ad too

There is a 4th part, Ebenezer pays Voldemort a visit.

Hercule Poirot has 38, how powerful is he?

@@thegreatandterrible4508 pretty powerful for a fully mundane detecive. its about relative starting point as well as time for growth.

@The Great and Terrible Poirot never had an ensorceled enchanted leather duster made into armor. Just Harry's physical charge rings alone would likely kill a man when activated in a punch. Poirot might have had a gun? Both of them could talk shop about pistols all day 🤣

There's also the insane amount of deals Dresden has made for more power. Not to mention that if he really needs to, he now has access to the power of a Titan and a magical WMD.

Book 1 Dresden would wipe the floor with Voldemort, let alone Potter at the end of the 7th

maybe hed just got it back from Mikes lol

Hey, in fairness,, he says he drove away, it doesn't say what shape the car was in or if it lasted the rest of the day 😂

Depends on where you are in the books, to not spoil things

Voldemort: He got on his dog and rode away.

I died, this comment is too accurate

I mean.. what can he do? How many villains would be using the help line that are way stronger?

I mean, man is on a help line, those people could have God himself on the other line and would give zero fucks XD

This Hotline has dealt with WAY scarier beings than what Tom is. To the rest of the crew, Tom is just a child throwing a temper tantrum.

I mean he failed to kill a baby so I get it

Think about it, he's support staff but he's suppoet staff for an interdimensional corporation. Relatively that means he's probably handled support for far more terrifying things than a tin pot magical dictator who's useless without his stick

Rashid likely knew that Dresden was the target and decided against intervention, choosing instead to find some popcorn.

@@aerfczxvservasergv Fair enough.

Technically not an outsider, just from a different reality. If Voldy had to cross the outside to get there he wouldn't survive the magic-resistant abominations in the way.

@@motorwaffle6700 best part is, they're even worse actually Outside. The outer gates impose the laws of physical reality on the creatures of the outside, which is why you can 'kill' them at all. And considering the never never works on conceptual correlation between locations, it would be amusing if a gate did end up in the Harry Potter world, and locating spells looking for a powerful wizard named Harry pointed them towards Dresden.

I did not think of that... That is going to be very brief. If that doesn't work, he is going through the Nevernever. He may meet Lia, or worse, Queen Mab. Even if Voldy got that close, Demonreach.

Alt endings: "SO, Voldemort proceeded to tell Harry exactly what he did...and Dresden just looks at him, nods...And pulls out a Colt 45 Magnum"

He was very lucky that he still had a few of his horcruxes left, just saying.

Support: "But I do want to talk about what happened."

Underrated comment lol

Which one? The Blue Beatle, or the Munstermobile?

@@travisbishop782 I'm sure Tom would have said something about the 'Za Lord's Guard swarming him if the Munster mobile was anywhere nearby. 😁

@@TheMonk72 Ha! That is true.

@@TheMonk72 Well, considering what happened to the Winter Lady, I doubt any report on a swarm of Za Lord troops would get any further than "Whaa. . Shiiii.. . . Aaaiii... gurgle"

And noone will find another scar on the body of Dresden unusual. "Harry you got a scar there from a very powerfull curse" "Jep collect them like candy"

No. Voldy cant harm potter cos lily offer her life for potter n voldy killed her. So, its kinda like Lily; dont kill my baby, kill me instead. Voldy; kill lily. Thus, due to her death (n sacrifice) voldy n only voldy cant harm hp. Lily offer her life so her son could live. Margaret didnt die to protect hd. She got killed. Shes raith's target. And before she died, she cast her death curse against raith. Thus, in this vid, voldy cant harm hd isnt because of margaret, but simply because the passive defense spell of the duster is strong enough to ward off the killing curse.

And Margaret LeFay was also vicious and _sneaky!_ That death curse of hers? HOLY CRAP. Who else could figure out a way to make a death curse last and keep affecting someone for *30 FREAKING YEARS?!* Harry got his fundamental goodness from his father Malcolm, but he got his temper and his mean streak from his mama!

I mean... he coulda just been screwing with him.

I could see Dresden doing that

That makes what he did to Voldemort even funnier.

@@AlleluiaElizabeth Dresden would totally do that.

@@AlleluiaElizabeth Dresden? Screwing with someone? Surely not. Would he do something like that? (Yes, yes he would.)

Yes! Brilliant!

I know nothing about the Dresden Files. So when I read this, and heard John say Voldemort got chased by some fae creature the entire way, I was imagining Toot-Toot as some sort of lumbering quadrupedal beast with a huge mouth, lots of teeth, and kinda dumb but extremely loyal.

@@DisIzDaName do you think we could feed Voldy to a Skavis or Malvora whamp? I feel like he deserves it.

It's my favorite book series. Reread them constantly. So much fun.

Dresden made me feel, as an adult, the same stakes and laughs that Percy Jackson did for me as a kid so I'd give a big recommendation. They're incredibly well written

The first... idk dozen plus books I read of it are among the few that I could never part with because even picky old me finds them so good I could genuinely see myself rereading all of them at some point. And have, in some cases! Often I get picky about writing quality in pro fiction and even if I enjoy a book once, I might not be able to reread it when I know what's coming. But both story and writing are so great in DF that they're an exception to that rule. Jim Butcher's web site has the reading order for the books and short stories (important since they eventually stopped mentioning the numbers on the covers!), but off the top of my head I believe the first three are: - Storm Front - Fool Moon - Grave Peril I think? - I know the fourth book starts getting more into the Faerie Courts but I can't quite recall the title as it's been a few years. In my opinion though everything from book 4 onward is definitely something I would recommend to read in publishing order, because the ongoing plots get increasingly built up, esp with regards to the Faerie and Vampire Courts, and the changes in his personal and professional relationships. So if you can't find the first or second book, or even the third, I wouldnt stress too much? But the further into the series you get the more it's preferable to read in order. That said, he generally seems to make the books pretty accessible. So you could start with a somewhat later book, like Dead Beat (iirc that's the necromancers one, featuring a ZOMBIE T REX at one point. It's awesome, one of my favorites - which is really saying something in a series I can already happily re-read!), and be fine. But there's nuances and such you pick up easier reading it in order. 😊

@@studioyokai well, i have already started reading them (up to book 3 so far) so im enjoying the build up so far. Im enjoying the well defined characters and especially Murphy's absolute agency. Im also loving Harrys Dry humored and overworked uncle kind of vibes, like the type who pick you up, dusts you off, half mumbles something, tells you not to do stupid shizz, then goes out and does said stupid shizz as his regular day job. I would like to reply further with an essay of my own, but im never great at such things.

@@alpacasmafia9265 I'm going to have to start reading them, then!

It's also been stated in the DF that one of the main reasons Harry likes using fire is it's wide range of effectiveness. Since it's not just physically destructive, but also a symbolic force of purification, it tends to affect spiritual beings just as well if not better than physical ones.

​@@AnarchyShogun This is compounded by the fact that magic is influenced by your belief and emotions in the dresdenverse. Quite literally willing your intentions to life.

@@AnarchyShogun In the Dresden universe it does not matter if a thing is matter, or energy, spiritual, or physical fire burns PERIOD!

I think Hellfire would be more likely to kill a dementor, as Soulfire is described as a force of creation, rather than destruction.

@Skyfighter64 by that logic it shouldn't harm vampires, but it certainly did. Think of it this way, soulfire acts as a resistance bypass when used against tainted entities

Awesome!

Also the protective spells built into the duster would probably take the teeth out of it pretty good.

​@@AnarchyShogunCan't forget his shield bracelet, either.

​@@ProfessorYana shield bracelet has to be activated. The defensive spell on the duster does act automatically... Duster kinda act like bullet proof vest while bracelet act like heavy riot shield.

Hmmm....no Amulet does not protect against spell.

Am i the only one that liked both? Like the Keanu Constantine movie, it was a terrible adaptation but was quite fun in it's own way, and would have loved some more seasons

@jherazob Both were fun, but quite different. I also like the Dresden actor playing cop-types, see: DC's Arrow.

I can just imagine Voldy scrambling back through the break, wide eyed and screaming, "Close it!! Close it!! Seal it!!" and Queen Mab poking her head through the portal ... And she *smiles*.

I hope that at some point Butcher actually tells us what people see when they soul gaze Dresden.

@@krissisk4163 Isnt there a short story from another characters perspective that says what they saw?

@@ihatemymeds Not that I know of, but he's written a LOT of short stories. It's possible I've missed one. If you find it, let me know.

@@SoulSoundMuisc That smile of hers. That knowing superior smile that holds mirth only hidden behind her eyes... and 10% sharks!

Kind off. Unless for some reason HP Magic wouldnt interact that well with Dresdens Magic defenses, there would be quite a limited aray of things he could do to him, even If you go by spells as descibes instead of as intended. Mind bending the entire non protected existances against him would just piss him Off since pretty much anyone dangerous enough to matter wont be unprotected. Arguably His best shot would probably be the more liberal side of Transmutation and reading up on some of that muggle physics. Creating Antimatter should get through most defensives and Not be warded off that well

@pendotxl822 Very true, but Voldemort was lost in proving the superiority of magic vs the real world. Its almost a side plot in the Potter stories, but Voldemort was on the verge or piercing the veil, so to speak, and intent on conquering the human world with his magic. I think he would consider normal science and magic beneath him. But if he did swallow his pride and brush up on his physics and defensive magic, I'd still give it to Harry. Dresden is always punching higher than his weight class, and is used to fighting beings and wizards much stronger than himself. Not to mention that when pressed into a corner, he can pull off some amazing applications of even simple spells, like the earth magic gravity manipulation that turned a few black court vampires into greasy smears on the floor. Not to mention that Voldemort is 110% a classic villain, where he will monolog and gloat about his plans and what he will do to Dresdin, and Harry loves an enemy that just won't shut up. He would use that time to come up with something, and thats usually the time he at his most dangerous. And if we give Harry His full powers-- SPOILER ALERT!- As the Winter Knight he has almost unlimited power at his disposal not mention his ties to the island/loci, and all of his grandfather's spell books, which he still has not fully explored. I love the Potterverse as much as the next guy (Ravenclaws FTW!) but in any situation other than Harry outright surrendering for plot reasons, Dresden takes this fight every time. And even then, Voldemort would have to contend with all of Dresdens allies, enemies, and even few supernatural entities Harry holds contracts/favors with, all of whome have a vested interest in keeping Harry alive, compared to Voldemort who's every ally is only following him because they are too scared not to follow him. If given a chance to see Voldemort dead, for real, they would turn on him in an instant.

@@Scudboy17 oh for sure. unless portkey or fidelius scammery for some reason work no way he can contest. Both of which have little reason to be able to affect anyone "important" in dresden, aswell as taking the spells quite to their edges only based upon no explicit borders being drawn. (portkeys not really having known limitations on state, size, condition and range, fidelius not being exempt from working on people, or what kind of information at all, it can conceal, or the theoretical logik argument that you could force assumptions in peoples head by hiding true information) But considering we havent heard of people portkeying their target to alpha centauri and voldemort not just putting up a fidelius on the existance of deatheaters, or simply that muggle are also humans with feelings forcing his pov on everyone else, those are ofc fun but only theorycraft nonsense. Although there are quite some worlds in fiction that could win that encounter, hp really isnt on that list. If we count indirect winning conditions hp does have the edge in transportation options and a wizard could do quite the damage to the average citizens, but unless we consider the above theorycrafts to work i dont think he could get enough pull to force a surrender without prior knowledge about the world. Ofc not even talking about how off character it would be

Toot-toot: "Avaunt, villain!" Voldemort: Oh, FFS-"

@@singingwolf3929 I was looking for this comment.

It is a book series called The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Harry Dresden is the main character. Great books which are a sort of cross between magic (vampires, fae, etc), and detective stories (noir ish).

Dresden files by Jim butcher set in modern day Chicago. Harry is a detective pi that openly proclaims to be a wizard in a world just like ours. Where people don't really believe in magic. There is council of wizard's. The fey Titania Maeve. Vampires werewolf demons etc

You GOTTA check it out

Just be warned, the series does start slow and doesn't really hit the straps until about book four or five.

It’s a hardboiled detective series based in modern day Chicago called the Dresden Files. Book 1 is called “Storm Front” but my favorite is “Dead Beat” which is the 7th book.

Go listen to the audio books, they're narrated by James Marsters aka Spike from Buffy

Read them, or listen to them on Audible. They're amazing right from the start, but if you stick with it up to Changes it'll blow you away. It's seriously one of the best series I've ever read.
