Paul Blackthorne as Harry Dresden on "The Dresden Files"
Paul Blackthorne as Harry Dresden on "The Dresden Files" - © Sci Fi Channel
Sci Fi Channel's "The Dresden Files" tells the story of Harry Dresden (Paul Blackthorne), a regular guy with an irregular life – he's a wizard, a practitioner of magic, who uses his unique abilities to solve the cases that come through his Chicago storefront office. On "The Dresden Files," Harry lives in the same work-a-day world you live in, but he can also operate in the world of the supernatural, the metaphysical, and the unexplainable. Dresden unravels otherworldly schemes and crimes and does battle with the forces of darkness on "The Dresden Files," all while keeping his true activities veiled from Lieutenant Connie Murphy (Valerie Cruz) of the Chicago Police Department. Think you understand how the world works? Get schooled with "The Dresden Files," a supernatural detective series based on the best-selling novels of Jim Butcher.

The governing body that supervises wizards on "The Dresden Files" is called the High Council. The Council on "The Dresden Files"enforces the rules and makes certain that nobody ever knows what's going on in the supernatural world. In Chicago, the Council's Warden is Morgan (Conrad Coates). Morgan is Harry's probation officer. Three years ago Harry used black magic to kill his uncle Justin Morningway. The Council on "The Dresden Files" ruled that Harry did it in self-defense, but Morgan suspects otherwise. He would be only too happy to catch Harry in another transgression.

Dresden's confidante and advisor on all things magical on "The Dresden Files"is Bob (Terrence Mann). Bob was a medieval wizard who took up the dark arts but went too far. He was caught and killed by the Wardens, who then bound his soul to eternal servitude as punishment. Bob haunts Harry's apartment on "The Dresden Files," hoping for a chance to regain his corporeal self – or at least get out for a walk in the park once in a while.

Through it all on "The Dresden Files," Harry Dresden retains his wry, sardonic view of both the natural and supernatural worlds. If you ever need his special kind of detective skills, you can find him listed in the phone book. For $500 a day, with a two-day minimum, he'll take your case and bring it to a successful conclusion. Just don't ask him how he does it; call it the next evolution in forensics.

RT @firenza00 James Marsters does reading of The Dresden Files audiobooks. Kind of ironic having a vampire do the reading if you think...
