Ok, I just found out that 6ht book in the Harry Potter series has been given an official title, and now called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. (Check out J.K. Rowling's offcial site). I can't wait to read it!

Yes, I was watching Buffalo news when they announced that.

Apparently, the "Half Blood Prince" is neither Harry nor Voldemort, but someone from the second book. Which really doesn't narrow it down much. Then again, maybe it's Riddle (before he became Voldemort) and JK is just trying to confuse the readers. Apparently, Riddle was a half-blood.

I think she's messing with us cause the only boys I can think of from the second book besides Harry, Ron, and Riddle. Are Malfroy his Dad and Malfroy's 2 flunkie, and Gildroy. And we know the major half-bloods are Harry and Riddle

Any idea of when this book will be released?

Well JK had denied clearly that HBP is one of Voldemort or Harry.
So I don't think it'll be Riddle (well that's Voldemort)

There is more probability for the HBP to be Hagrid or Some member of the OoP (Lupin)
Hagrid admits he is half blood. In GoF I think. Lupin is a werewolf, or maybe it's someone we still haven't met.

I think JK Rowling confirmed that it wasn't Riddle on her site recently.

My main suspects for the HBP are Hagrid or Dean Thomas.

[Greven il-Vec]

Rowling usually does the unexpected in her books so "The Half Blood Prince" is going to be someone that you would probably never suspect, or a character the readers probably already forgotten. Someone like Colin Creevey or someone lame like that .

I am looking forward reading this book... I think I will buy the eng english version cause:

1) Translation to dutch takes about 3 months...
2) I can use some english reading training
3) I never read an english book and I want to find out how they are written

Cya arraund sometimes...

Did you see that the door at JK's site was open recently. There is an excerpt from HBP there. wow I'm now trying to guess who's that person mentioned there.

He looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp.

I hate to admit that I can't wait for the 6th book

I just hope it isnt as bitterly boring as the 5th book, which was so hard to stay involved with through the firs few hundred pages. I wonder how long the book will be?
