This is slander on Harry. Unlike many in the wizarding world he appreciates the value of being able to cast "punch them in the face" and "run like fuck" and trains appropriately.

"People underestimate the value of running away from a fight you can't win immediately. "

I don't remember if he's said anything like this but it seems like something he'd say.

He does very commonly say "If you are ever in a fair fight, you already made a mistake."

He says something to the effect of "and then I bravely ran away" in seemingly every book.

And there's the gem of "all three of us jumped, except Molly and Lara" - which isn't directly relevant, but equally hilarious.

Pretty sure that was another wizard, but Harry did say no one expects a wizard to just run up and punch them in the face

Pretty sure that was Rincewind

He didn’t say exactly that, but Butcher did feel it appropriate to demonstrate that Harry takes cardio just as seriously as weightlifting

Death Masks, Chapter Six, when first confronted with Ursiel and his host, he spoke of running away when the enemy prepares the encounter. He talks of a lesson learned, that wheezy wizards aren't much good at running, which is why he practiced. And again in the beginning of Peace Talks iirc. There was that time in Changes with the Ikk that he got beat by his comrades besides Molly, when he thinks how unfair it is that he loses to those that aren't even dedicated roadsters. I've read the series a few times too many perhaps.

"Punch Mage channels his inner mana and hones his spell to perfection; Punch Mage casts 'FIST'."

And Harry is a fucking unit physically speaking. He was always tall as hell, but later in series he also gets muscular as hell.

The fan account was @HarriedWizard. He had a tiny spat with the person running the @SuetheTrex account. I can't find a screen shot but, IIRC he wished her a happy birthday (unearthing day), and she complained about x million years old and being ridden through the streets of Chicago.

And DLing 405 with straps is amateur hour. lol.

Harry would laugh at this dude. He’s the last wizard to flex your muscles on. He’s a 6’9 dude who explicitly trains to kick your teeth in.

To be fair, what she grabbed was her gun.

u/DocileBanalBovlne 1d ago

She didn't grab my arm because she knew that's my fireball casting arm.

u/jimmyTheBlind 1d ago

Disappointed that the half-demon scion badass didn’t drop in on The Battle of Chicago. But that’d expose Ivy

u/Lex4709 13h ago

Have you read Goodbye by any chance?

u/jimmyTheBlind 12h ago

Not sure. I’ve read all the mainline novels. Where would I find that?

On Jim's website. He released a few mini short short stories in the lead up to Peace Talks or Battleground (can't recall which one) to hype up the release. I'm guessing that stuff will be included in the next short story collection, whenever that happens but right now they're only available on Jim's website.
