Wasn't that Harry's dream? Bit of a cop-out, but still first-person.

 

It was intended to be that way (or so it seemed), but it wasn't written from HP's perspective until the very end, so an argument could be made that it really wasn't.

That's just semantics though. The change in perspective didn't hurt the Potter books because they're written in the third person limited POV, which is substantially different from first person.

 

Butcher's already announced the first sentence of the next book and it sounds like it's from HD's perspective. Something along the lines of "Dying is easy, but Living is hard".

Somehow I doubt that the main books will be from anyone but Harry's POV.

 

Butcher has stated he wouldn't write a novel from anyone's perspective but Harry, at least not any set in the current time frame (ie, the present day). He said he might go back and write a novel from McCoy's perspective about the French and Indian wars, but otherwise, other characters narrate only in the occasional short story.

tl;dr: Books are from Harry's POV only.

 

Actually, I'm going to agree with you, CT. It's perfectly possible to narrate a chapter loosely, with third-person wording; ie, the narrator doesn't inject any personal comments, or refer to themself. Then come to the last paragraph, and, BAM. Suddenly, you get a snarky comment or two and realise you've been reading from a character's perspective the whole time. Say, a book opens with descriptions of people's actions; several pages later, we find out Harry (or whatever the narrator's name is) has been observing those people from his ghostly, invisible, fly-on-the-wall status.
Gives the reader a nice "Ha!" moment.

 

Aftermath (the novella stated to be set 45 minutes after the end of Changes) is from Murphy's perspective, just like Even Hand will be from Johnny Marcone's and Backup was from Thomas'.

 

Fuck October is a long way away, too early to getting excited yet?
