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??

[Lord-Voldemo]

I personally think it is.....ABERFORTH DUMBLEDORE. Think about it, it makes sense. Albus, whom we already know is likely a half-blood because of his fondness for muggles. So a character who has NOT been introduced would have to be ABERFORTH because we have heard a small bit about him (although i personally think he works in the hogs head as harry thinks he is familiar+ the description of the barman is similar to ALBUS)

Neville is pure blood. Remember when Dumbledore was explaining about the prophecy he said Voldemort chose a half-blood Harry rather than a pure-blood Neville. But Voldemort didn't know the whole prophecy. Maybe he was planning to kill both of them, but went to Harry first. Maybe if he went to Neville first, Neville would be dead.

Hey ah Lightning... not to be rude but do your research. Rowling has stated already that Mark Evans is... a... PASSERBY CHARACTER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou

[mgc66]

JKR has said 1) Mark Evans was just a coincidence and 2) Dean's full story will never be told. If Dean is the HBP wouldn't she tell his full story?

[mgc66]

Dumbledore hinted at the end of COS that there may be more of Tom Riddle's old school things out there. Maybe that is a way to bring Riddle back.

[soldierboy]

Yes I agree to that mgc66. Also as to those theories to colin creevy or Justin Flinch-Fletchley... they were both attacked in COS. Well put 2 and 2 together. Lets see attacks means, muggle borns, means not half blood, means CAN'T be Half Blood Prince!! And Hagrid is a half breed. Not Half blood. Tom Riddle is it. Lucious Malfoy has his diary and if anything survived, any of his memory, Lucious will get it out. Also to Dean Thomas, she says "He story is too much like Neville's But Neville will play a much bigger part in later books." Don't get any bright ideas, they say already that Neville is pure blood. Ohh if you have any time search for Harry Potter's Future Question. Waiting for an answer

[Lighting]

it might be a new chacter or someone we know very little about like Erine (or how ever you spell his name) from hufflepuff he has been mentioned in ever book but not with alot of details

[Rapunzel]

Some have said the HBP can't be Hagrid because he's a "half-breed" not a "half-blood" -- but, in OoP Kreacher calls Harry a half-breed. So maybe the difference between the two is only a matter of opinion (or a matter of prejudice). The HBP could certainly be Hagrid if you consider that people are people, whether or not they are "human".

soldierboy yeah i just found that out right after i posted it i went to her website but thanks

[soldierboy]

NO Problem Oh Yeah if anyone gets bored i posted a fun question here http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Answered/Question48583-2.asp? Page=1 Related to harry potter of course

[Rapunzel]

I don't think the HBP can be Riddle. JKR said it's not Voldemort, and they are one and the same. Just because he calls himself something different now, he's still the same person. So if it's not Voldemort, it's not Riddle. (Unless JKR is REALLY splitting hairs.) And Riddle/Voldemort doesn't have a brother - Dumbledore said Riddle is the last heir of Slytherin, so he has no siblings.

dude i cant wait until the book comes out then more than likely most of our questions will be anwsered hopfully it is going to be awsome

[soldierboy]

[Lighting]

[Lighting]

dose anybody know how to get through the door? and what is up with that fly and the light swicht? pealse help if you can

[Lighting]

dose it have anything to do with that mirror?

[theorem_zero]

For those of us from the States, Mark Evans has a small reference. His name is mentioned on page 13 of OotP

[soldierboy]

But Mark Evans does not play a part at all in the stories

[itsbrown]

How come nobody's talking about dumbledore? He's the "champion of mudbloods and muggles" - I think Lucius Malfoy calls him that or something similar to that. We don't know anything about him, yet he's such a huge character.

soldierboy-what do you mean Harry Potter's Future question?
