"The Dresden Files" - "What About Bob?" Quiz

Answer: It was stolen

A woman who stayed over at Harry's place stole the skull and took it to Dresden's long-dead uncle Justin Morningstar. That was the same uncle Harry had killed 5-years earlier. The woman's name was Tara.

Answer: Magician on a cruise ship

Dresden got his magical abilities from his mother, his dad had none. His dad was a third rate magician who barely made enough money to keep Harry and himself with a roof over their heads. He was selected to work on a cruise ship, moments before he became ill and died in the flashback.

Answer: Handcuffs

Justin Morningway killed her after finding out. He said that Dresden could chase her around the world with an item left in the apartment.

Answer: An anonymous tip was called in.

Lt. Murphy was forced to reopen the case due to the abilities that Dresden has. He had been cleared initially because he was hiking in Peru. The official cause of death was a heart attack.

Answer: He gave it to charity.

When Murphy asked him about it, he got upset and refused to talk about why. He left the mansion that his uncle lived in vacant because it was "safer" for everyone.

Answer: He was a 'copy' of the original Justin.

A backup copy of the original Morningway was created as a failsafe. The process of creating the copy wasn't explained. The fake Morningway attempted to convince Bob to help him bring the original Morningway back from the dead.

Answer: She was murdered.

Bob, in a flashback, told Harry that no one knew who had killed his mother. Dresden came from a powerful and well-respected lineage in the magical world.

Answer: True

Hrothbert of Bainbridge as he was known, trained Harry in the ways of wizardry, and about his own family history. Harry shortened his name to Bob. Bob was forced to serve whoever controlled his mortal skull. Bob has been imprisoned as a ghost-like figure trapped within his own rune-laden skull.

Answer: Yes

He noticed the ring that his father had lost just before he died on his uncle's hand. That made him realize his uncle was evil and responsible for his father's death. Harry confronted his uncle about it, they fought and Harry killed Justin Morningway by accident.

Answer: Paul Blackthorne

Paul Blackthorne played Harry in the entire series, which lasted just a single season. He would go on later to play Quentin Lance in the "Arrowverse" television series. He appeared as that character on "Arrow", "The Flash" and "Legends of Tomorrow".

In the final few minutes of the episode Harry's uncle was resurrected for real. Bob used Dresden's hockey stick to transfer the life force between Harry and Justin's bodies. Turned out that Bob was actually trying to relieve Harry of the burden of Morningway's murder. The nearly dead Harry got to listen to Justin explain a few things, before Bob transferred the life force back to Harry.
