The sixth of seven books will be released this week.
Any speculations on who the Half-Blood Prince is?
I think it may be Draco Malfoy. He is from a 'pure' family, but JK Rowling does say on her site that "none of these families is really pure - in other words, they simply cross off Muggles and Squibs off the family tree and pretend that they didn't exist." Also, "This subject (pure-bloods not being fully pure) is touched upon in 'Half-Blood Prince.'"
I think it may be a clue from JK Rowling that the Half-Blood Prince is a "pure-blood."
On the other hand, we know little about Nearly Headless Nick except of his execution and that he was some form of royalty. I believe he may be the Half-Blood Prince too, as, he could fit the 'prince' part.
Thoughts on who the Half-Blood Prince is?

I was thinking, maybe Half-Blood refers to half-royalty?
Maybe Draco's mum is royalty? We know nothing of her, really.

We do know though that Narcisse(Draco's mother) is related to Sirius.
I am definitely interested in who is the HBP. Maybe it is Draco, but maybe it could be Sirius.

Or, it could be Dean Thomas. He is a half-blood, and we have not heard a lot about his background.

good theories. Draco could be there. Even in one of the books-sorry I'm away from my set (help me out here:) I believe Harry said that the only way to bring down the (something bad) was if all the houses worked together.

Yes, another plea for no spoilers on the Sleuth message board about Half-Blood Prince...my book won't arrive until Monday and I won't be able to read it until the following weekend *hates her new job for that*

I agree.
All spoilers should be in their own thread with a spoiler warning in the name.

Jojo, as you are the one posting this thread, perhaps a day before the book comes out, start a thread that has in the title "spoiler warning." Then keep this thread for messages where there are no spoilers.
And this rule, should stay that way for at least 6 months or so. For the simple reason that some of us may read the book in a foreign language. Translations don't come out until 3 months after the release in English.

I will be avoiding threads most likely, out of safety. But when I am done, I'd like to ask everyones permission if it is OK to moderate if I do find a spoiler somewhere? Or someone who is overly annoying in dangling it in front of someones face.
