riddler 0 #1 July 29, 2004 Not sure if it's been posted but last week, JKR released the title of the new Harry Potter book - Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. No word on when it's going to be released. She has said that the HBP is not Harry or Voldemort. Anyone want to guess? I have my guess, but I'm interested in other people's theories. <- Yes, this is the pic of a Harry Potter geek.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

tbrown 26 #3 July 29, 2004 When's Harry gonna finally get laid ? Rowling could call that one, "Harry Potter and the Delta of Venus". Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #4 July 29, 2004 QuoteMr. Longbottom. ... would be my second guess, but I think there is someone else that might fit the title better. Neville was definitely the first person I thought of, though.Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #5 July 29, 2004 Hummmmmm well given that Harry and Neville were born on the same day and reference was made to that fact...I'm still thinking him. What you think its Creavy? Where's Qwark when ya need him?LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kai2k1 0 #7 July 29, 2004 If it wasnt a prince I would say it's Hermione, since she's a muggle, but I think i would guess its Malfoy. Theres too many secrets with the dark wizard in that family.

quade 3 #8 July 29, 2004 If we take the title literally to mean there is a wizard prince that is a half-blood, then I don't think it's going to be any of the characters we already know. Virtually everyone in the wizarding world seems to know who is who (with the obvious exception of Harry -- he's never heard of anybody until Ron or Hermione tell him about them) and for one of them to be royalty without the readers knowing it at this point would just be . . . I dunno . . . cheating. I have to believe that JKR is more creative than that anyway. Until the book actually comes out we could probably guess about everyone with the exception of the folks over in Slytherin as clearly only pure bloods would be allowed in there. Then again, it would be an interesting twist to find out that Draco's "real" mother was a muggle.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #9 July 29, 2004 Quotewizard prince that is a half-blood, I don't think it means necessarily that it's a wizard prince, just a prince. Hermione is probably out because she would be a princess. But you are right - we can only guess for now. I think it is probably someone we know, because JKR has stated that she almost used the same title for the second book, Chamber of Secrets. So it probably is someone that is at least in the second book. Personally, I think it's Hagrid. We already know that he's half-giant, so he could be half-blood royalty of either the human or giant race. The second book is a clue, and it has a strong tie-in with Hagrid because COS revealed how Tom Riddle got Hagrid expelled from Hogwarts. Neville was my original guess, but he didn't play a strong role in the second book, and his only defining moment so far has been when he tried to stop Harry, Hermione and Ron form going out in the first book, which earned enough points to win the house cup for Gryffindor. IIRC, it has been revealed that his parents were killed by Voldemort for not siding with the Death-Eaters, so I think he'll play an important part in the end.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Muenkel 0 #10 July 29, 2004 My guess is Malfoy. It could create quite the scandal, since his father was just taken to Azkaban. _________________________________________ Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #11 July 29, 2004 nah... the thing is... if the Malfoys were royalty, they'd have been shoving it in everyone's face for the entire series now. plus, Malfoy's a pure-blood. a "half blood prince" would have to be either mixed race or half wizzard, half muggle, I'd guess.

Voldee, though is a half blood. Question is - does he have a brother? I am tempted to agree on the Hagrid thing, it does make themost sense.I'm not usually into the whole 3-way thing, but you got me a little excited with that. - Skymama BTR #1 / OTB^5 Official #2 / Hellfish #408 / VSCR #108/Tortuga/Orfun Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jimmytavino 16 #13 July 29, 2004 hmmmm.. well if Harrys mom was a witch then wouldn't that make Her sister Petunia a witch?? ....
