Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince

[buttons]

Now that JK Rowling has officially named her next book who do you think is the half-blood prince?? I initally thought it could possibly be something to do with Neville Longbottom, but have since remembered that both his parents were wizards therefore he is full blood. Anyone any suggestions as to who it could possibly be??

Hey all!

The answer to the riddle is CHAPTERS it took me a few minutes to work out. All it gives you are a few chapter headings for HBP if you drag the paper out of the file.

The headings are:

Chapter 2 : Spinners End  (house name?)

Chapter 6 : Dracos Detour   (Malfoy is on a trip?)

Chapter 14 : Felix Felicis (New character???) 

Please tell me what relevence you think these headings have.

My personal opinion on the HBP is Justin, describes in depth in the CoS, reference to royalty (Eton) and half-blood also it is stated that his mother "thinks its safer to have a wizard in the family" - perhaps for protection?

Thanks all, tell me what you think.

I think it can be Nicolas Flamel.

[chacku_2004]

uber panda where did you get that one by one.......?

[chacku_2004]

" felix felicis" which is the name of the chapter can be the character described on JKR's site....

I just looked up what "detour" means and I think it is very interesting that it could also mean digression. So it doesn�t mean neccessarily that Malfoy is on a trip but he goes another way as he did before, if you understand what I mean. It is not very likely but as we do not know the story of book 6 it could be that under some crazy circumstances he is helping Harry and that is why it is called detour.

Why do you think it is the name of a house SneakySusan? And what house?

I don�t think chapter 14 name is the same as the paragraph she told us about last time the door opened. Wouldn�t that be too easy?

[SneakySusan]

Im not sure why i thought of a house... i suppose it just sounds like one, u know... "Something" End. However it could be someone dying or something dramatic lol.

U never know who the HBP could be, we will just have to wait until the book comes out (still no news on that??) although its still fun speculating. Im still going with either Tom Riddle, Justin Flinch-Flechley or Colin Creevey, they seem the most likely to me.

But why would she have called CoS the HBP? Is must have been one of the main characters in the book, it wouldnt have been called that for some minor character would it?

Thanks for your comments.

it could be dombaldor or one of the other techers

[potterfan3]

i konw i said colin before but now i think it is dobby because remember wot dumbledore said about house-elves not allowed to something unless they r orderded dobby could do it wivout the malfoys permission this y i think he is not a proper house-elf (half human perphaps?)

[fogou]

You will all hate me for this. Petunia is Lily's sister, so equivalent value to a witch, Uncle Vernon is a muggle, and their son is Dudley Dursley, Prince of the half blood. which makes Harry a pure blood prince.

Incidentally, always a possessive in the title!

But I am keeping my eye on that Neville Longbottom.

[eriecz]

i noticed mark evans too. he's the one that've been beaten up by dudley.

[fantasy]

I believe there is a possibility that the half blood prince is charater that has been already introduced. What about Seamus Finnigan? His mother is a witch and his father a muggle. He said so in the first book.

[fantasy]

What about Professor Lupin he is a warewolf and a wizard? Who says the half blood prince has to be from a muggle parent and wizard parent. Why not a warewolf?

[g-potterfan]

I tell you why: Especailly for Lupin it can�t be because he was bitten by a werewolf. His mom or dad were not werewolfs. But is he a pureblood? I don�t know.

But you are right. Halfblood doesn�t neccessarily mean pureblood and muggle. It could also be something different. I think that would be interesting but I think it is more likely a halfblooded human and not some other creature.

[uber_panda]

yes we understand that he was bitten but he IS a half-blood nonetheless, and why those JKR look over him so much? He already has played a big role in the PoA and the OotP but will he play a much bigger role in the HBP?

[gymbrat]

Ok I know it might sound KrAzy but I think that maybe its Malfoy or something like that or maybe Crab or Goyle!I know it sounds dumb but neway thats my answer!

[foreverzero]

I personally believe that the new half blood prince will be someone who is not alive in the present time.  This might not be the first time there has been a lord voldemort or a harry potter.  Maybe this is learned in the 6th book and harry uses this half blood prince as a guideline for the rest of his life.

the half blood prince is eithe Dumbledore OR Godric gryffindor.The most probable answer seems to beGryffindor ,since ma'am Rowling suggested the clue is in chamber of secrets. In COS ,it was told the beautiful swordwas gryffindor's.WHAT sort of people do we expect to keep sword..knigts,dukes,barons.....OR PRINCES. But we can't rule out Albus Dumbledore as we don't have knowledge of his past .But still ithink its GODRIC GRYFFINDOR

I don't know, but I think that she was reffering to Voldemort himself and his full return or something, becasue he is half blooded and strong and evil as can be, but I may be thinking about it in teh wrong way... it could literally be a half blood prince that is a completely new character
