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.

Remember Neville is a pure blood. The last book was pretty exact about that. Draco is suposed to be a pure blood, but the line is always not clear.

I think it would be intresting if Snape was the half-blood prince, but I can't recall whether or not they have stated he is pure blood.

I got an email today from the dutch amazon like company that will be delivering my book tomorrow morning.

It actually said. That if I wanted to have my book, I should stay home in the morning. As the book, was too thick to fit through the mail slot, as it is quite a read like the last 2 books. Otherwise, I would have to wait until monday afternoon to pick it up at the post office.

I have never received an email like this, about any book like this. I suppose, I would have found it a crying shame and tragedy if I had to wait until Monday. :)

I am going to ask the mail man, if I had many packages to same size today. I am not sure how many people read the English version, most read it in Dutch which comes out in November.

Passed my local book shop this morning and there were many ballons on the street out side the shop and they were giving away free sausages in bread with tomato sauce. Is this some clue ? lol, Any way I enjoyed the sausage.

Well I remember that "pure-blood" is technically untrue, because it was mentioned earlier. So, even if Neville was, it doesn't matter. Or it could all be a big trick:aka misnomer!

True enough, twists and turns are expected ahead.

Did we mention Spoilers in this thread may be....well, ok as long as we're clear.

The mail man said to me "Even though I can not see what it is inside this package, but here is your Harry Potter book. Sorry I was late, busy today."

I pretty much snatched it out of his hands, and clutched it in my arms.

Back to reading...
