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?

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...

I just got the new harry potter book today. I got it from the Shoprite grocery store near me. Their regular price of it was $20.99 but were selling it for $16.99 with price plus card. My mom asked if I wanted the book and I said yes so I got it. I don't have time now to read it since I have to go to work in a little bit. But later on I'll get into reading it. Or maybe Ill take it to virginia with me since this friday/saturday at midnight (either late friday night or early saturday morning whatever you view it as) im going to virginia for 2 weeks to visit my family. So maybe I'll just bring it there and read it.

Not done yet Rockwell. I became an aunt this week, so I was out visiting every day. Now I have about 100 pages left to go.

I was disappointed, not as much as by Order of the P, but still. Bring back George and Fred!
