No way, I'll have been up all night reading. I'll be too exausted to type. urgh but you better read it quickely otherwise i'll probably leak out information. It is probably safest for me not to post at all about the plot untill after you have read it. When the last book came out, I successfully ruined the experience for two of my most obsessed friends!

are you the type of person to read pre-book spoilers, by the way? Because if so, we can discuss that.

****SPOILER***** ok...well, here's one. There's been a HUGE bet in the town where the book is printed, about the halfblood prince. People are supposed to bet on who they think it is. Well, recently, the bet has been stopped after many printmen came over and bet 100s of 1000s of pounds on DEAN THOMAS. Also, there was a second bet running about who will die, and the same amount of money was put on DUMBLEDORE. so...those are about the only spoilers I know.

what???!!! really! so dean thomas is the halfblood prince and dumbledore will be dead. wow ok.......first thought - dean thomas could not possibly be the halfblood prince right?? and second thought - the rumour about dumbledore could come true coz maybe rowling wanted to kill him off so that ther were no hassles in the movie with having a new actor play dumbledore - perhaps? orrrrrrr maybe to make the plot more interesting and make the characters more vulnerable.....i dunno - i'm dying to know more now!!!

Sorry, I have been sort of listening in on your conversation.
Darius, if you are wrong it will look mighty silly. Titles don't mean everything, look at The Goblet of Fire. I think people are getting hyped over nothing. For all we know The Half Blood Prince could just be another name for You-Know-Who.

hmm.......a realist here lol but the whole fun of not knowing is to hype it up but you are right. i do think it could be another name for you know who.

Troy, you could be right, as JK Rowling advances in the series the titles become more creative and have less to do with the main plot. However, didn't JK Rowling think of naming the Second book the Half Blood Prince, before she changed her mind to "Chamber"? So obviously this title has been in her storage bin for a while, and so we can assume that it might have to do with the plot of the book, seeing as how her first three books all had titles having to do with the storyline (Philosopher's Stone, Chamber of Secrets, Prisoner of Azkaban...all of her old titles gave large hints of the book's plot), and since she has said that the Half Blood Prince book idea was created during that time, perhaps the title heavily relates to the 6th's plot. But Faye, JK Rowling has also said that the Half Blood Prince is neither Harry nor Voldemort/Tom Riddle/any other name, so sorry to crush your hopes.

yes, i know! by the way, all you new posters, I would like to thank you so much that you all cared and returned to the original Hogwarts. But you must understand, if you are new, that there are rules and Faye and I will enforce them. We are considering lifting the site rating, so that we can swear, BUT NOTHING ELSE LIKE THE OTHER SITE HAD....ok, Alex?

yes, I agree. Once we were on the first page on Google if you searched for "Hogwarts Roleplaying"....and then it was ransacked! But no worries, everything is returning to normal now. Dumbledore will be up and moving in a few days, we just have to get some last things sorted out. And about Alex-- I told him he wasn't allowed to bring Bradley back! And now he makes this equally frightening character! You torment Darius!
