What's funny is that while people have speculated a LOT about the "half-blood" bit, everybody is leaving the "prince" bit open to interpretation and revelation.

But let's say we fixate on the 'prince' bit. Since "half-blood" accompanies the word, one is seriously inclined to think Tom Riddle is the prince. But let's say that it isn't Tom Riddle, and the "half-blood" bit refers to the nature of the prince, not what he is the prince of. If this is the case, then we can safely dissociate the two phrases and use "half-blood" merely as the criteria for ruling out possibilities.

Now, Dumbledore is a master of magic, so one could associate the term 'prince' with him, although he isn't exactly evocative of the image of a prince, purely due to his age. However, it would be interested as to whether or not he is half-blood. Anybody know?

Hagrid could be considered a prince of monsters, due to his giant heritage (and hence half-blood). It is unlikely that it is Hagrid, though, since the giant storyline appears too minor to be central to the plot. Also, the giant storyline is shared by that other lady, so that further decreases the likelihood of it being Hagger.

Crookshanks is, of course, a possible, but not very probable, choice. He (she? if she, then not) is very intelligent, determined (as with his attempts at the destruction of Scabbers), though these could be said to be traits of cats in general. Another thing is what he is a prince of. You could do the whole morph thing, but that's a bit trite and cliched with Rita, McGonagall and Petigrew doing that.

Ron is pureblood Hermione is female and muggle (in the sense of having no magical bloodlines). There's Dumbledore's brother, of course. You could run the whole mysterious stranger thing. Again, a bit cliched.

I think it's Tom Riddle, myself. The chamber of secrets is, after all, almost like a prize, a inheritance.

Tom Riddle WAS Voldemort. But he isn't anymore. And hence, she hasn't really said it isn't
Tom at all.

Even in the books, Tom states he is a piece of Voldemort preserved (enough in itself to say they are not one in the same!). But Tom grew a physical body, and he also learnt and experienced things which Voldemort did NOT. This makes them two seperate people, similar as they may be.

Hello. Sirius/Werewolf-Remus or Remus/Padfoot.

It's all there.

:p

As for all the theories: You guys are a crack up. Although, belonging to the HP fandom does mean I read this stuff everyday.

Personally I think it's metaphorical. That, and the title says "Half Blood" as two separate words. When refering to someone as halfblood, it's put together. It might not have anything to do with blood lineage at all.

That sounds funny,but I still don't think it is him, because Tom Riddle is already a major part of HP, is there anything we don't know about him?

yeah if u go into jkr's website that is the number u dial on the phone to get special stuf...it's the coolest site ever. and she has said that neither harry nor voldemort is the HBP (as we in the biz know him). my suggestions are:

a) seamus (he is a halfblood wizard)
b) neville (connection to harry and prophecy)
c) ron (relations to great wizarding families)
or
d) someone we've neevr even met before.

think about it...all previous titles have related to people, groups or things that have not been introduced before that particular book. philosopher's stone, chamber, prisoner of azkaban, goblet, order. hmmm?

for other good conspiracy theories, see Erin Linn's Quibbler editorials at Mugglenet.com

The door on jkr's website is open again. After solving a few puzzles you get to this:

SPOILER

..


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.

that is still a very broad category though ... :)

however the 'halfblood prince' does narrow it down a fair bit...

Reckon it's Snape, or perhaps Seamus.

But either way, I reckon Snape is a half blood, mainly because neither he nor any Snape appeared on Sirius' Family history/tapestry. And it was implied that all purebloods intermarried, having some conection to the Ancient and Noble House of Black. But, hopefully, we'll just learn more about Snape's past in the last 2 books.

Theres always Seamus, or even Remus.

ALSO, can't rule out Tom Riddle. JKR said it wasn't Voldermort, but, as someone else pointed out (somewhere..) in CoS, when Dobby tells Harry not to return to Hogwarts, because he is in danger, and Harry asks if it was Voldermort, Dobby says no. It ends up being Riddle, so maybe thats a clue in itself. Something little from CoS is suppose to be the central role in HBP. LOL, maybe Narcissa isn't Draco's mother and he's the HBP? Now it's sounding like Days of out Lives.. :p

Don't want it to be Riddle though, too obvious. I am hoping it's Snape and if not, Lupin.

Also, theres more to Petuina, so that should be interesting.... :)

Bout the Goblet of Fire though, am really cut that alot of Snape scenes will be cut out... although, I dont see how they can do much of it, seeing as how half of his scenes revolve around the Death Eaters, they really cant cut it out :( I wanna see the dark mark on his arm!! At least Jason Isaacs is back. He and Alan Rickman? absolute legends. Love em both ;)
