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??

Maybe I'm wrong but isn't Malfoy's mother at the Quidditch match in Goblet of Fire - I am sure she is part Veela so Draco cannot be a half blood - Draco also states in CoS that he is a pure blood. Seamus Finnigan is half and half - his mother is a witch and his dad is a muggle - he says so in the first book. Dean Thomas is also half blood - his Dad was a wizard.

[pollymere]

I've just been on the JK Rowling site and... She mentions that the full story of Dean Thomas background - of his father being a wizard was CUT from CoS as it seemed less and less relvant to the main story. Dean's father was killed be Death Eaters. so I am backing Dean Thomas as the Half Blood Prince.

I think its a new character, because in an interview, J.K. Rowling mentioned a new character name Mclagan.

well i don't think draco is the half blood prince and i don't think it could be a new character, well at least not a new name i think the half blood prince is godric gryffindor. and i don't think draco's mom cheated on her husband i mean this is a childrens book!

1- Snape is only mentioned a lot more in the sixth book because Harry has NEWTs in Potions, weird. 2- It would have to be someone in the Gryffindor in order to be the heir i think, because Tom/Voldemort was a half-blood, Slytherin only accepts pure-bloods, but because he was the Heir to Slytherin he got into Slytherin. 3- barkybites, your an idiot. dobby?!?!?! 4- It's way to late in the story line for the HBP to be a new character, but if it IS a new character i think it might be the new DADA teacher, i mean we know nothing about him/her. 5- IT IS NOT HARRY POTTER! HE IS NOT THE HBP! He pulled out the sword of Gordric Gryffindor becuase he acted life a true Gryffindor, someone who is brave at heart. 6- I think Heirs go into thier houses, so Dumbledore is difinitely not the Heir of Ravenclaw, and if he was the Heir to Gryffindor i think he would have told someone by now. 7- I doubt beyond anything that Dudley is the heir. 8- Im sorry this is so long. But neway i found something that really doesnt go with the HBP subject, but Harry seems to share qualities of both Salazar Slytherin and Godric Gryffindor.

Has any1 thought of snape being tha half blud prince. Dumbledoor trusts him for some perculiar reason but maby Dumbledoor knew this. Also as we all know that Snape is great occulumacy and is wiv tha order of tha phoenix whos jobs it is 2 spy on tha death eaters. But what if Volmort knew of this because don't forget occulumacy is Volmorts greatest asset and supposed 2 be briliant at it. Also some how serius comes into this because cant remeber wher but jkrowling hints out something like serius was taken not killed. Thus that would explain tha voices he heard. Volort mite use serius for bate for harry.

HELLO!!! Neville Longbottom is a pure-blood! neway, i think that the halfblood prince may be Tonks. Nobody said that a prince had to be male! Tonks even admits she has a muggle father while helping Harry pack! JK Rowling said that Tonks would definately be in the 6th book so why not right? I was also reading somewhere that jk rowling said the "half-blood prince" had nothing to do with the chamber of secrets and that the relavancy was something Harry found/saw there that would be a clue to the prince's identity. That doesn't necessarily mean that the half-blood prince was in the chamber of secrets.

I think that the half blood prince is GODRIC GRYFFINDOR, because Jkr said that she had considered naming the CoS the HBP, so if she had, then it would sound right wouln't it. Also go onto jkr's website and click on the portkey thingy and it takes you to this hotel thing, then click on the door and it opens. Go right from the doorhandle for about 15 cm then it clicks on a light. It is a romm with a dart board, throw the darts on the 7, 1 and 3 (the gringotts vault that the philosphers stone was in) and a safe appears. click in a number in the safe and it opens. Their is a peice of paper and it has a description of what i imagine GODRIC GRYFFINDOR to be like! Try it!

[Morningstar]

I agree with Godric. Any of you who are saying that it is Seamus or Harry obviously haven't read the answers already posted. The Half Blood prince is clearly NOT Harry because then the title of the book would roughly translate as 'Harry Potter and Harry Potter' which is, quite rightly, ludicrous. IconHotel- I would not be surprised if you were right on that. I don't think that the Half Blood PRINCE is a female *cough*, or Seamus, because he has no relevance to the second book. JKR DID say that she was going to call the CoS the HBP, but didn't, because it was missing several very important clues. All the evidence we have gathered points to Godric Gryffindor, and like Godric said above, if you go on the offical site, it DOES have a brief description. I have read this, but don't remember the exact words- however, there was a phrase in the actual paragraph on the site which describes HIS (yes, he is male) 'lion-like mane' or something similar to that. I forget. So this is not Seamus, is it? Because last time I checked, he did not have a mane. This would fit into what Godric and IconHotel have said because if you think about the whole 'Latin meanings' theme in the HP books, 'Gryff' has lots of things to do with 'lion'. And what's the Gryffindor logo? OH YES, A LION!!

i reckon that hagrid will be the half blood prince because the title does not suggest that half blood means half wizard blood, half blood could be half giant blood an his mother was a giant queen fridwulfa, and i recon that the next book will be about giants and getting them on our side!!

[godric]

Hagrid can't be the half blood prince for the simple reason that he's not half blood. His mother was not human, so therefore he is half-breed. True, his mother was a queen, but this would make him a half-BREED, in my opinion.

[CrOss~OVa]

gagrid is half breed caus of his father iz human but still hagrid izent tha prince eva cuz its 2 easy n there r other reasons which i cant be othered 2 say

[CrOss~OVa]

also how can u say its an opinion because its eva a fact or fiction n its a fact so where does tha opinion come in. i hate all these uneducated guess wivout n e shred of evidence 2 back it up.

[andyman]

well it cant be narcissa(draco's mother)because on the history in the h.q or the order narcisa is connected to beletrix lastronge therefor she is pureblood

[Luna_luvgood]

Geeze! SORRY! all I thried to do was say that it ia probaly godric the person who is the half blood prince. 'sides i figured out the dartboard thingy in JK Rowlings site, and it was describing Godric, i know it was, and hagrid is a half blood. think about it, giants are pretty similar to a human being, NOW Firence is a half breed, see he has horse and human, they like to call themselfs centars. so yea i think the half blood prince is godric

[HaRrYpOtTeR!]

well i know 4 a fact it cnt b harry thats the half-blood prince because its harry potter AND the half-blood prince and the thatd b weird like harry potter and harry potter lol that probably doesnt make sence but yeh any ways

[Luna_luvgood]

yes, and your point is? .............and your opinion counts egxactly how? do you have any suggestions, that we haven't well suggested? if you do let us all know. oh yea thats not funny! I think its Godric! and oh yea not meaning to get off topic but someone is going to switfch houses, i think luna is going to gryffindor. or maybe hermione to ravenclaw. and umm.....i think godric is the Half blood prince!

[godric]

How can CrOss~OVa say that it was an ' uneducated guess wivout n e shred of evidence 2 back it up' because if you read my explanation prperly then it says why i think gg is the hbp

[godric]

All these people that say that neville, lupin, snape, dean ,seamus ect is the Half Bloob Prince then what relevance have they got to the CoS because JKR clearly stated that she was thinking of calling the COs the HBP

[CrOss~OVa]

Yo i neva meant 2 offend nebody! n half blood prince waz tha original title of tha COS but JK rewrote tha story because it gave 2 many clue away 2 early into tha series. But It doesn't mean that story r connected in n e way othere than tha chamber. I quote Jk said " tha only connection wiv HBP is tha chambre, not Tom riddle or Volmort, not, Hagrid and certainly not tha casting lists like Dean, Neville or ne body like hat. Peace CrOss~OVa
