Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Theories and Predictions

What sounded ridiculously funny to me was an interview with JK, where she said that Harry would at least until the last book. I was thinking No kidding?
[size=100]If he died before the last book, you couldn't call it Harry Potter, Could you?
Just hype for the upcoming release.
I preordered this time, since I remember the zoo for "Odor of the Pheonix"

Sure you could. It would just have to be titled "Harry Potter and the After-life"

Let's discuss that, shall we?
I'm guessing that the thing that Dumbledore and Harry are peering into is the Pensieve. Do you guys agree?
I'm guessing that it IS the Pensieve. If that's the case*crosses fingers*, maybe we'll get some of that Lily and James back story we've been promised.

Rowlings does interesting and readable stories, but the covers are rather uninspired. (Could be worse though. I don't think I'd want to see Harry Potter interpreted by Boris Vallejo or Frank Franzetta 
)
Actually, I think we've been given a lot of the Pensieve already. JK needs to start developing what was established.

*o* Count me in, Osaka!!
About the cover...I know we're going to be getting a lot of background on Lily and James, but I had always sort of unconsciously thought it would be via other characters or something and didn't give a thought to the Pensieve. I wonder which way would tell it better, now that you've mentioned the possibility. Either way, it will be slightly skewed depending on who's telling/remembering the two.
A friend read some of Barry Trotter to me, but I never read it. It sounded funny from what I heard, though. ^__^

Written by a real fan of the series. In a way, it seems to be expressing a concern about the excessive commercialization of the series and worries how it will fare. Funny, though sometimes crass.

I don't know if this was ever mentioned, and 11 pages is alot of posts to read...so I'll ask this here:
Is the Half-Blood Prince really a prince that is half-blood, or the prince of the half-bloods?

I don't guess any of us will know until we read it, but my guy instinct is that he is the half-blood prince rather than a prince of half-bloods.

That's a good question, Cedahlia. I think it's a half-blood who somehow turns out to be worthy of the title "prince" of who-knows-what... <.< >.>

They're not hyping it like the last one... Maybe because too many people recognized it as hype and the story didn't have too much to say.
I figure, based on past volumes, the Prince is half blood in the sense that he has one muggle parent. Speculation that it could be Hagrid because he's half giant could work if JK is desperate to give Hagrid a useful role...

The Neverending Post- no kidding
I spotted this thread weeks ago, and skimmed through it, getting very exciting and very happy until I ran into a very thick problem: I had finished reading the latest Potter book months ago. Gasp! Well, I set out to amend this awful situation, and over spring break I reread the entire series. I also read all twelve pages of comments so I wouldn't needlessly repeat stuff that's already been said- I hate doing that. So now I consider myself equal to the task of posting all my thoughts and opinions on Harry Potter's past, present, and future. Beware- a very long post, in my opinion.
First, there is the matter of Sirius. I believe that the condition that he is in right now will not be reversed. [SPOILER]Luna's conversation with Harry reminded the reader of seeing our dead loved one's in the afterlife- thus comforting both Harry and ourselves. I can see how there is confusion- Rowling never really says straight out why Sirius dies, but if you read it closely you will find a reference of Dumbledore's that will clear things up. He refers to the room with the archway covered with the veil as the 'Death Room' or the 'Execution Chamber', or something to that effect, thus revealing to the reader that the archway behind the veil that Sirius stepped through was some sort of lethal device. This also makes one realize how close Harry was to death when he drew near the archway to investigate the voices and to save Sirius. [/SPOILER]Luckily, Hermione was there the first time, and Lupin there the second.
On to Ron and Hermione. I think that they are absolutely perfect for each other, not just because Rowling is forshadowing the heck out of it, but because they are so dissimilar. I'm a big believer in the opposites attract line of thinking. The way they bicker all the time is just so adorable! I agree with the opinion that Harry and Hermione are just too serious for each other- I find the Harry/Luna coupling amusing, and not such a foolish idea as it may seem. She did know exactly what to say to make Harry feel better, as others have pointed out.
About Snape, Harry's parents, and Sirius' opinion of him. (I bundle this all into one because they kinda interrelate). I love to think about character relationships in a novel, and here I will spout my little theory about Harry and his similarities to his parents. I think that Harry has inherited his father's temper and general personality, but I don't think that he is solely his father. If he was, he'd be as much of a foolish showoff that his father was as a teenager. No, I think Harry has as much of Lily in him as he does of James. His kinder gentler spirit, I believe is evidence of his mother- he is not arrogant, nor does he pick fights like his father did as a teen. Lily's spirit is what prevents him from being that way. That's why I thought it unfair for Snape to treat Harry like he was James. Harry is not his father. That goes for Sirius too- Molly was exactly right when she said Sirius expects him to be too much like James. Poor Harry- I know how the dude feels. I hate being judged as if I were my mother or father. It stinks.
The sixth Harry Potter book will hopefully have a lot of Snape in it- he's such a wonderful character, and in the movie, he's played by one of my favorite actors of all time- Alan Rickman! (Die Hard, Quigley Down Under, etc...) Woohoo! Neville might play an important role in this next one- I mean he was [SPOILER]the other person who the prophecy fit until Voldemort attacked Harry.[/SPOILER] That was a pleasant surprise for me.
Well, I need to go to bed soon, and this post is too long anyway, so I'll halt until later.

Luna is in my top 3 favorite characters... I hope she gets together with Harry... ^_^ I mean, I don't know... I just like her character...
ok, so that's not much of a prediction or theory... Just a hope...
I have to admit it was sad to see what happened with Cho... Sad for what she went through, and sad that there was no way for Harry to know how to respond from where he was... Still, Luna seems good for Harry...

It would be nice if Luna got a bigger role, as her character seemed to be the most interesting in Pheonix.
I don't have a problem with Hermione and Ron becoming a couple. It looks like JK has been hinting for awhile. Hermione and Harry would just be too predictable.
I thought Harry and Cho was kind of interesting. A pointless relationship, but so many teen crushes turn out that way when there is only attraction at the base.
I find Snape to be my favorite character. You don't know where he stands, though I suspect he'll end up on the side of right.
There is one thing I hope they address in the upcoming volume:
[spoiler]Harry always runs around behind his teachers' backs, never telling anyone what he was aware of. In Pheonix, Sirius got killed on account of that. While JK kind of muffed the impact of that realization by having Dumbledore apologize to Harry, he fact that his "super hero" syndrome got somebody killed was pretty important and if JK fails to address that he needs to be more responsible, the book will be worse.[/spoiler]

b4 u slam me off have a think - is this leading me closer to God ?
- do you spend more time reading rowlings wrod than Gods word ?
u may want to think about this as this could be a major threat to your spiritual journey
Rowling herself has admitted that approximately one-third of what she has written is based on actual occultism. Abanes' conclusion is that the books "do not teach the precise doctrines of witchcraft, nor do they explicitly instruct children to purchase a step-by-step guide to Wicca. But the allusions could easily stir a child's curiosity about occultism.
thousands of children are lead into witchcraft every year thorugh HarryPotter but u say well im not going to turn to witchcraft, but what if u meet someone who was lead to witch craft through HP and God tells u to witness to them when ur reading it ureself is that not hypocryticle, how are u any different from the world ??
im not here to create arguments but its good to look at both sides b4 dabbling in things

Don't take this as directed at you personally-- I figure it's as good a time as any to bring this up in general.
Forgive me if I'm skeptical of the claims of JK Rowling admitting this was based on the occult-- I remember the 1980's where people went around claiming the creator of Dungeons and Dragons was a Hight Priest of Satan, and many other "facts" that were only rumors with no truth.
I'd like to see the references to interviews where she made these admissions: URLs, etc. so it can be verified that they were really said.
The Bible condemns Witchcraft, it's true, but it also condemns false witness-- which some people seem to be committing whenever they pass on stories as fact without doing the research. Harry Potter isn't the only case. False stories about Heavy Metal, D&D, Pokemon etc, don't help Christians avoid harmful things-- they only serve as fodder for the enemy to mock Christianity.
