Yeah I was gonna comment this same thing but figured I'd check to see if someone else has first. Literally Bram Stokers Dracula is the same exact Dracula and the white court had it written to destroy the black court
Hello I have read all the Dresden Files novels all the up to Skin Games plus the 2 books with shorts ( about 3yrs ago) dont remember any Dracula referance and also would like to know if there has been any more books since Skin Games, last i checked there wasnt. If in a few more yrs Butcher doesnt start writing more Dresdens ,then i know he wont finish the story line, seen this happen before with some authors after waiting a few yrs to finish a book series they always change and screw up the story, now one book series where the author forgot that he had killed a character off and then a few yrs later included that same character in the next book and killed him again in a different way.
@@lonknight3197 Look for Peace Talks and Battle Ground, a novella called The Law, and several more short stories. The earliest Dracula references, though, are from Blood Rites. Butcher is still writing Dresden, the next novel is called Twelve Months and another that we know of is Mirror, Mirror. There should be a few more titles in there before he hits the Big Apocalyptic Triology (tm).
You know, I really want to see the meeting and eventual teamup of Harry Dresden and Alucard...because unleashing the Crimson Fucker there would just be hilarious and Harry's got enough enemies that he could point him at to keep the chaos coming for a long...long time. And probably make Morgan feel VERY uncomfortable with questions about how to bring satellites down as weapons as if the SR-71 into an aircraft carrier wasn't bad enough there
I mean I think Alucard going after three different types of Vampire Courts would keep him busy for awhile especially the White court and their thing if you know what I mean.
@@mman2052was gonna correct you and then remembered Harry pretty clearly exterminated the red court. Alcuard probably wouldn't be worried about all the white court though, just Malvora and Skavis. He might take issue with the Jade court, but we don't know much about them. And the black court would probably just be his dog food.
Levi looked a little queasy when he forgot to turn off the live view when the Yautja attacked Appa. Between what toph did to them, and Ang and Karata mutilating them to get their blood because Levi said it had healing properties he probably had a few nightmares of team avatar showing up with questions.
You know, it could have been worse. He could've met the Cullens. I don't think Dracula's mind would have been able from recovering meeting Edward, i.e. what happens when a mosquito and a sentient Christmas ornament love each other very, very much.
you know the funny thing about twilight is that its a horror verse pretending to be a romance like yea they sparkle in the sun doesn't change the fact that they'd rip you apart before you could react and you can't escape and the traditional ways of killing a vampire don't work and everyone of them has a unique power
@@thundercookie3214 I want to see that scene from Helsing Ultimate Abridged where he just ABSOLUTELY WRECKS Edward and Bella and says hes a real vampre!
would have loved him saying that he is pointing a baton or wooden dowel at him, or dracula thinking it was an unsharpened wooden stake. hes pointing a stake at me and the fool didn't even sharpen it.
"Wide brimmed hat"? It must be a different reality for Harry too. Maybe it's the reality where all the cover art for the Dresden File books is from. The cover and the book being different realities somehow actually seems like a plausible in universe explanation.
(Also, just quietly: Drakul is Dracula's father in the book reality... Dracula is Drakul's weedy child that Bram wrote about to tell the world how to kill Black Court Vamps)
Correction he has a hate on for vampires that actively kill and hurt women and children such as the red and black courts he tolerates the white mostly because the harmful ones were all killed and Laura runs a tight ship. Thomas gets a pass cause he's family
I heard a roomer that a large group of Yautja are going to see if they can incure the rath of the doctor by killing his current companion you may want to stop them.
Technically speaking, Dracul is the Dresden Files version of Dracula's father, Vlad II. The Dresden Files version of Dracula was the creator and first member of the Black Court Vampires (OG Bram Stoker Vampires, with all those powers and weaknesses).
@@barbatosmcmurderton4209 I won't spolier you then. But I will say, yes, Harry and Drakul cross paths in Graceland Cemetery, and it's a bad day/night for pretty much everybody... That's in Battle Ground. :D
Interesting query would a vampire or any being from another universe not be sort of imbued with the outworlder energy? And presumably Bram stoker's Dracula would probably give off a very different kind of energy to native to the Dresden verse traditional vampires. Although when all is said and done I can thoroughly believe that this is exactly how this interaction would go. If it looks like a threat hit it with fire unless it's from summer then hit it with ice!
Bram stoker's Dracula is a black court vampire. The book is why there are so few black court vampires anymore it was written as the how to kill guide after they pissed of someone with lore knowledge
This could actually work out for dracula- The dresdenverse vamps are buff compared to bram stoker's work- with Drakul in particular being way more powerful as both the first Black Court vampire and I think, half something not human and powerful before he was turned (I want to say dragon but I keep thinking "no its just the name making you think that"). But plenty of other versions of vampires can straight up come back from burning to ash or similar, and you need a very specific way to off them so they don't come back. The Diskworld books play around with this- there is a vampire photographer that carries around some blood in a vial so if he turns up the flash too high and turns himself to ash, the vial will fall to the ground, and the blood will cause him to reconstitute. That sort of recovery isn't a think for Dresdenverse vamps, they tend to be way harder to take down though. Its necromancers that can come back- Kemmler did it like 6 times, and if you know the right magic your GHOST (which in dresden lore is not your soul but more like a magical echo of your mind) could not only be self aware but come back in various forms- temporarily become solid, Hijack someone elses body, and more with the right necromancy.
Drackul was Starborn in the Dresden books. Some sort of special magic anomaly that apparently has the ability to kick outsider ass and kill immortal types.
Drakul ISNT Dracula in the Dresden verse. Dracula is jus his son who Dresden described as basically just a Black Court "goth wannabe" in comparison to his father. Dresden could probably take his world's Dracula in a fight, especially if he went into it prepared (though the implication seems to be that he's already dead). Drakul seemed like he hardly cared at all about the fight in Battle Ground and was just using it as a distraction to do his own thing. He might be just as likely to kill any multiverse alternate Dracula as he would be to team up with him. Especially if that Dracula was too weak to fight Dresden on his own.
@@Vales55 Bram Stoker was basically a hitman, writing a how to kill black court vampires book on behalf of the white court. Dracula died during the purge of black court vamps that followed. All of this is canon, but can only be found in interviews
@@ididntdoit157 That’s awesome. I do vaguely remember Dresden making an offhand comment about Stokers book being published by the White Counsel specifically to get the information about Black Court weaknesses out to the public without direct involvement.
Harry Dresden: "The only guy worse that this guy were the Dementers sent by that Moldy-mort fellow. Even that guy with the black classic impala was more frightening BEFORE I made it appear that I set his car on fire. That guy could not take a joke."
Ngl I've always wondered what would happen if Dresden actually met Potter? Lol like if Dresden signs up to teach defense against the dark arts, and his first lesson is just gun. Lol the American wizard
There are a few fanfics of exactly that. One of them the first lesson involved the grasshopper hiding under a veil and stealing everyone's wands before Harry explained the importance of having a back up plan. One though involved him showing up as a "guest" for some reason and promptly turning Professor Quarrel into a gibber mess after a soul gaze.
I mean...the white council would NOT like the Wizards un Harry Potter, what with all the mind wiping and anti-muggle mind altering spells. They Wardens would be frothing at the mouth trying to figure out who to decapitate first. I'm also reasonably sure that the Harry Potter Wizards have broken other laws of magic by dresden Standards as well.
@@pungivergiverofpuns3611 oh yeah, there are a few Dresden/Potter fanfics. I recall one I read years ago had Harry becoming a teacher around the time of Order of the Phoenix and already being a Warden. He ripped through a lot of the potion shops in diagon alley and threatened to come back and burn the owners and the ships to the ground if he found any "love potions" and explained to Hermione and the boys what exactly a date r*pe drug was and why they were bad. Also politely told the Order that he would be waiting outside until they finished their banking after someone commented on the bankers being goblins- on account of a "minor dispute" with the Erlking.
Once again Harry has set an Undead on fire. I believe he needs a card or something for this. Give him a deal on insurance with Acme. He's literally a great asset with few draw backs. Hopefully Drac is going to be ok. If nothing else he will be spring time fresh for a little while.
This is a great question. When the SAG strike is resolved they will go back to some of the pre-strike plot lines. Until then, they’re using characters from non-struck work.
Drakul is his FATHER. The version of Dracula in Dresden's reality is either dead, or in Mab's possession. Either is ...not good. Hilariously, there's the serious implication Dracula's powers are EXACTLY like that in Bram Stoker.
@@AviDragonLadyJim's most recent short story collection is a wizard Western with some of the wardens hunting necromancers.on the way to I think Carson City.
Drakul is Dracula's father. Dracula is either dead or frozen in Arctis Tor, depending on whether Dracula and Vlad Tepes are the same person or not in the Dresdenverse.
I'm liking the current setup of Dracul as a new big bad to vex Harry's existence, as if Mavra just ain't cuttin' it no more now that he's in a different weight class. Still, though... Fuego!!!
Correction Harry has a new solution to problems: "Infriga!" followed by "Forzare!" You get little frozen bits of the enemy that are much easier to clean up than scorch marks.
@@FirstIsa Harry's Winter mojo is pretty cool; but I don't think Dracul will be impressed with cold. For him, bring on the fire, bring on the Rotschreck...
@@1dcondave I mean if Drakul from Harry's universe goes gunning for him when Harry's on his home turf Alfred probably has the perfect crystal for him. He'd probably fit right next to the polite British voice that wants to be left alone.
@@FirstIsa that would be pretty cool if such were to happen; but these stories normally force the hero to run the gauntlet on the enemy's turf, in this case, more like Castlevania (the game, not the anime).

Alucard from the Hellsing anime, or better yet the TFS ABRIDGED version, would have no trouble with Dresden What is he gonna do against a vampire with very op powers like high tier regeneration, superstrength, -durability, -speed, -reflexes, -sight, can walk through walls, is very accurate with his guns,... AND CAN SUMMON AN ARMY OF MILLIONS OF SOULS OR COME BACK TO LIFE A FEW MILLION TIMES? Even when Andersson killed Alucard Alucard just got back up And I haven't even mentioned Schrödingers Cats reality bending abilities
@@TheCuriosity8Demonreach... Harry's ultimate trump card now is to literally lock the problem in a prison where shape shifting semi divine immortal monsters that grow stronger by inflicting fear are placed in minimum security. Pretty sure anyplace that can hold an original Ye Nagloshii as minimum security inmates and is implied to have lovecraftian old ones is gonna be able to hold Alucard if necessary.

So which Dracula are we talking about here? Bram Stoker's? Van Helsing, the 2004 movie? Van Helsing, the netflix series? Hellsing the anime? Hellsing Ultimate, the anime? Castlevania? Castlevania Lord's of Shadow? Last Voyage of the Demeter? Renfield's Dracula? Please specify the media in question.
side note, Drakul is not the Dresden version of Bram Stokers Dracula... that was Drakul's kid... who died pretty much like he died in the novel... because the novel was non-fiction in that universe.
Given Dresden's previous history with vampires... yea, that was never going to end well for Vlady. Oh well, at least it wasn't a damn Belmont this time...
Drakul’s son is the actual Bram Stoker Dracula - the White Council set Bram Stoker up and published Dracula as a manual to kill the Black Court Vampires created by Dracula.
I dont approve of this, not only due to the mentioned hat, but because dracula has POV reading narrative plot twist powers and was very polite in initial-non-murder-assuming meetings (and by often ignored entire ship overnight kill and turning feat quite beefy only partially counted by the fact of him being temporarily paused by mental asylum-pseudo-realistic version of a drugged up hulk due to him rarely having to actually fight, along with his immunity to non-dusk/dawn sunlight and when needed being intangible to all but cold iron) would likely end up on one of the comedy skit portions or background narrations as Harry is channeling the authors barely suppressed horny for a girl in uniform or describing the perfume of a 5 page background character that only appears at the start of the buildup and end of the book.
Mab has a member support account because you can't call a force of nature evil if you want to keep your office intact. Harry gets service as her knight, and Molly as her, uh, protegee?
@@jman5949 his boss is queen of the wicked fairy's and his apprentice is her protegee, Harry being a hero is a bit iffy at the moment. Particularly after what he was about to do to a certain brown nose reindeer. Plus he kinda already died, he just got better
@@FirstIsa His deal with the knight thing is she gives him the job but he chooses how to do it. Beside he had one of Hell's foreign army in his head it's been longer than that
oh... yeah... Depending on what "era" Harry is in, Dracula is soooooooooooo dead. even at the beginning... when Harry is at his "weakest" so to speak, like book 1 power levels... Dracula is not going to have a fun time, but would probably have his best chance then.
I love all these comments about Dresden not wearing hats 😂 whoever draws the cover art should come take a look so they can fix it for future covers 😂😂😂
This is funny as in Dresden's universe, Dracula is just an angsty punk next to his FATHER...Dracul. who is basicly a half-demon born under the same stars as Harry..someone who can banish Outsiders (think cthullhu) ...or let them in to devour the world. He made a BRIEF appearance in the most recent novel, and totally curbstomped harry and a squad of battle-hardened Warden wizards...taking many of them for the whole "fate wose than death " thing. Butcher is almost certainly saving him for the "big Apocalyptic trilogy that will hereald the END of the Dreseden Files...if he gets around to it.
oh man.... was that BOOK Dracula? or MOVIE Dracula? and which movie? because BOOK dracula wouldnt be fighting anyone at all- hes a lover not a fighter, so must have been one of the movie draculas...
Dracula: Son of the Dragon comes from Vlad III of Wallachia Dracul: the Dragon comes from Vlad II of Wallachia Dracul is NOT the Dresden verse version of Dracula (in fact per word of Jim Dracula is one o fthe frozen statues in Mab's strong hold of Arctis Tor) Dracul is Dracula's dad
Harry did describe his a basically a goth wannabe in comparison to his far more powerful father. And the earlier books imply several times that the Dresdenverse Dracula was already taken out.
Are you screaming like that because you’re on fire? This tanks up there with the other one I saw a few days ago as I go through this channel, and John said, I’m going to hear that sound in my nightmares.
Could be worse Dracula. I mean, at least you're getting killed by a powerful wizard. Imagine if you landed in Castlevania, there it would be some guy with a whip that killed you. Way more embarrassing.

I mean...the white council would NOT like the Wizards un Harry Potter, what with all the mind wiping and anti-muggle mind altering spells. They Wardens would be frothing at the mouth trying to figure out who to decapitate first.
I'm also reasonably sure that the Harry Potter Wizards have broken other laws of magic by dresden Standards as well.
@@pungivergiverofpuns3611 oh yeah, there are a few Dresden/Potter fanfics.
I recall one I read years ago had Harry becoming a teacher around the time of Order of the Phoenix and already being a Warden. He ripped through a lot of the potion shops in diagon alley and threatened to come back and burn the owners and the ships to the ground if he found any "love potions" and explained to Hermione and the boys what exactly a date r*pe drug was and why they were bad.
Also politely told the Order that he would be waiting outside until they finished their banking after someone commented on the bankers being goblins- on account of a "minor dispute" with the Erlking.
Once again Harry has set an Undead on fire. I believe he needs a card or something for this. Give him a deal on insurance with Acme. He's literally a great asset with few draw backs. Hopefully Drac is going to be ok. If nothing else he will be spring time fresh for a little while.
Man, villains need to learn *not* to cross into Dresden’s timeline. It’s just not healthy
Meanwhile next time, he jumps into World of Darkness...
I love the dresden novels and these videos make me laugh. But are we ever going to get back some of the old plots?
This is a great question. When the SAG strike is resolved they will go back to some of the pre-strike plot lines. Until then, they’re using characters from non-struck work.
Honestly, probably not. It's escalation time, now. Also the author has announced being a few novels away from wrapping up the series
The only hat Dresden wears is the Burger King paper crown.
Drakul is his FATHER. The version of Dracula in Dresden's reality is either dead, or in Mab's possession. Either is ...not good. Hilariously, there's the serious implication Dracula's powers are EXACTLY like that in Bram Stoker.
Dresden: " oh you're Dracula uh-huh nice kid go go home
This is making me want to read the Dresden Files even more lol.
DO ITTTT
@@villainsupport I'm supposed to be writing the wizard western. Although... it IS what started the darned thing in the first place...🤔🤔🤔
@@AviDragonLadyJim's most recent short story collection is a wizard Western with some of the wardens hunting necromancers.on the way to I think Carson City.
@@FirstIsa Well, I've never come across one, so I started writing😅
@@FirstIsa Do we get another zombie Jurassic park
The moment i saw the title i went "Oh no. *Oh no.* "
Well that was an unfortunate turn of events.
The question is what wants Dracula with Harry Potter.
Harry saw a vampire and did not hesitate.
Could we have a follow up where John or Levi call up Harry to explain the situation?
Are you caught up on the series? Because SPOILER:
Dracula(Dracul actually I think?) Shows up and briefly faces Dresden.
Oh I’m caught up 😁
Well, Dresden does have a pocket full of sunshine.
Or, there's another guy with a big wide brimmed hat, with a LONG ASS SWORD, and he's named D. Then....yeah....
Drakul is Dracula's father. Dracula is either dead or frozen in Arctis Tor, depending on whether Dracula and Vlad Tepes are the same person or not in the Dresdenverse.
Dresden probably thought it was another phobophage, stealing the form of another horror movie character.
I'm liking the current setup of Dracul as a new big bad to vex Harry's existence, as if Mavra just ain't cuttin' it no more now that he's in a different weight class. Still, though... Fuego!!!
Correction Harry has a new solution to problems: "Infriga!" followed by "Forzare!" You get little frozen bits of the enemy that are much easier to clean up than scorch marks.
@@FirstIsa Harry's Winter mojo is pretty cool; but I don't think Dracul will be impressed with cold. For him, bring on the fire, bring on the Rotschreck...
@@1dcondave I mean if Drakul from Harry's universe goes gunning for him when Harry's on his home turf Alfred probably has the perfect crystal for him.
He'd probably fit right next to the polite British voice that wants to be left alone.
@@FirstIsa that would be pretty cool if such were to happen; but these stories normally force the hero to run the gauntlet on the enemy's turf, in this case, more like Castlevania (the game, not the anime).
@@1dcondave It kind of does it's like they stir up trouble he has to solve the mystery and go kick ass
"...well, can I talk to Mavra then?"
Harry say Fuego!!
"Yeah sorry, in that reality your story was published as a book for the express purpose of letting everyone know how to kill you."
Yeah Dracula that's soul fire
Given to me by Mr.Sunshine
You missed a golden opportunity to go What do you mean this isn't your fault Mr Dresden?
Venom v Harry Dresden lol that would be an epic story
Acme Task Force Gamma 3 ("Abhorrent Ashbringers") have been deployed to reality Delta Foxtrot 823 for cremain retrieval and regeneration. Thank you, and have an Acme Day.
Funny story In the Harry Dresden universe Drakul Is Dracula's father. In other words well I mean, also Harry doesn't wear a hat
Hey Levi!
Yeah John?
Would you call maintenance in Chicago and give them this address? Tell them they’ll need to take a Dust Buster.
Alucard from the Hellsing anime, or better yet the TFS ABRIDGED version, would have no trouble with Dresden
What is he gonna do against a vampire with very op powers like high tier regeneration, superstrength, -durability, -speed, -reflexes, -sight, can walk through walls, is very accurate with his guns,... AND CAN SUMMON AN ARMY OF MILLIONS OF SOULS OR COME BACK TO LIFE A FEW MILLION TIMES?
Even when Andersson killed Alucard Alucard just got back up
And I haven't even mentioned Schrödingers Cats reality bending abilities
I see your army of a million souls and raise an army of a million fey?
and what the hell, throw in an undead dinosaur...
@@TheCuriosity8Demonreach...
Harry's ultimate trump card now is to literally lock the problem in a prison where shape shifting semi divine immortal monsters that grow stronger by inflicting fear are placed in minimum security.
Pretty sure anyplace that can hold an original Ye Nagloshii as minimum security inmates and is implied to have lovecraftian old ones is gonna be able to hold Alucard if necessary.

So which Dracula are we talking about here?
Bram Stoker's?
Van Helsing, the 2004 movie?
Van Helsing, the netflix series?
Hellsing the anime?
Hellsing Ultimate, the anime?
Castlevania?
Castlevania Lord's of Shadow?
Last Voyage of the Demeter?
Renfield's Dracula?
Please specify the media in question.
Drakul is Dracula's daddy.
Dracula... crackle and smolder if that's a yes... okay good. 👍
side note, Drakul is not the Dresden version of Bram Stokers Dracula... that was Drakul's kid... who died pretty much like he died in the novel... because the novel was non-fiction in that universe.
Given Dresden's previous history with vampires... yea, that was never going to end well for Vlady. Oh well, at least it wasn't a damn Belmont this time...
Drakul’s son is the actual Bram Stoker Dracula - the White Council set Bram Stoker up and published Dracula as a manual to kill the Black Court Vampires created by Dracula.
Dracula.shouldn't start trouble with a wizard who can conjure holy fire.
so many choices for harry burn or freeze
Also squish. Don't forget his bit of geomancy in changes where he turned a few dozen redcourt into red paste.
Harry should be glad it's not Castlevania Dracula 😅
I dont approve of this, not only due to the mentioned hat, but because dracula has POV reading narrative plot twist powers and was very polite in initial-non-murder-assuming meetings (and by often ignored entire ship overnight kill and turning feat quite beefy only partially counted by the fact of him being temporarily paused by mental asylum-pseudo-realistic version of a drugged up hulk due to him rarely having to actually fight, along with his immunity to non-dusk/dawn sunlight and when needed being intangible to all but cold iron) would likely end up on one of the comedy skit portions or background narrations as Harry is channeling the authors barely suppressed horny for a girl in uniform or describing the perfume of a 5 page background character that only appears at the start of the buildup and end of the book.
Idea, dracula tries to contact his henchman RENfield
He accidently calls someone named REDfield...
So he gets punched to death?
I uhm...
We saw this in the books
EDIT: Apparently I just needed to keep listening
I kinda wish you had a little bit trying to figure out which dracula you were talking to
"Fuego."
Question: Does Harry have a Hero Account, a Villain Account, or both and the admin gives him a headache?
Mab has a member support account because you can't call a force of nature evil if you want to keep your office intact. Harry gets service as her knight, and Molly as her, uh, protegee?
"He died doing the right thing" Harry Dresden has a hero account. He's not a villain.
@@jman5949 his boss is queen of the wicked fairy's and his apprentice is her protegee, Harry being a hero is a bit iffy at the moment. Particularly after what he was about to do to a certain brown nose reindeer.
Plus he kinda already died, he just got better
@@FirstIsa His deal with the knight thing is she gives him the job but he chooses how to do it. Beside he had one of Hell's foreign army in his head it's been longer than that
oh... yeah... Depending on what "era" Harry is in, Dracula is soooooooooooo dead.
even at the beginning... when Harry is at his "weakest" so to speak, like book 1 power levels... Dracula is not going to have a fun time, but would probably have his best chance then.
I love all these comments about Dresden not wearing hats 😂 whoever draws the cover art should come take a look so they can fix it for future covers 😂😂😂
FUEGO!
This is funny as in Dresden's universe, Dracula is just an angsty punk next to his FATHER...Dracul. who is basicly a half-demon born under the same stars as Harry..someone who can banish Outsiders (think cthullhu) ...or let them in to devour the world. He made a BRIEF appearance in the most recent novel, and totally curbstomped harry and a squad of battle-hardened Warden wizards...taking many of them for the whole "fate wose than death " thing. Butcher is almost certainly saving him for the "big Apocalyptic trilogy that will hereald the END of the Dreseden Files...if he gets around to it.
oh man.... was that BOOK Dracula? or MOVIE Dracula? and which movie? because BOOK dracula wouldnt be fighting anyone at all- hes a lover not a fighter, so must have been one of the movie draculas...
Dracula: Son of the Dragon comes from Vlad III of Wallachia
Dracul: the Dragon comes from Vlad II of Wallachia
Dracul is NOT the Dresden verse version of Dracula (in fact per word of Jim Dracula is one o fthe frozen statues in Mab's strong hold of Arctis Tor) Dracul is Dracula's dad
I mean, Vlad Drakul was Dracula's dad, not the vamp himself, in Dresdenverse. Maybe Dracula there would've been just as lame?
Harry did describe his a basically a goth wannabe in comparison to his far more powerful father. And the earlier books imply several times that the Dresdenverse Dracula was already taken out.
Are you screaming like that because you’re on fire?
This tanks up there with the other one I saw a few days ago as I go through this channel, and John said,
I’m going to hear that sound in my nightmares.
@0:05 What hat?
Could be worse Dracula. I mean, at least you're getting killed by a powerful wizard. Imagine if you landed in Castlevania, there it would be some guy with a whip that killed you. Way more embarrassing.
An Entire lineage* You would be surprised how many times Drácula has returned in the franchise
The Great Ancestor of the Vampire Hunter D would roflstomp. Hell D would roflstomp.
Question. Why was Dracula trying to jump harry potter?
I'm pretty sure that he fighrs Dracula in the book Battleground. Won't say anything about it besides Dracula doesn't need to call for any help.
Harry doesn’t wear a hat.
Hey doesn't have a hat. That's just a weirdness from the book covers.
No it's Jim Butcher and the cover artist arguing
Just came here somser how many people pointed out that Dracula in Dresden's universe was a pushover compared to his father Dracul.
I do not own a hat-Harry Dresden, repeatedly l.
No hat!
Lol good one
Drakul is Dracula's father, not the local version.
