<p>oh my gosh. i think i would die laughing. esp if JKR described it in detail. but i think its pretty safe to say that its not gonna happen. he's only been to first base.. we cant expect him to get that far so soon.</p>
<ol>
<li>Neville
2.Dumbledore
3.Ginny
4.No</li>
<li>Malfoy</li>
</ol>
<p>Hahaha, I'd DIE laughing if Harry lost his virginity in the book.</p>
<ol>
<li>Who will be the half-blood prince?</li>
</ol>
<p>Godric Gryffindor (I think...Neville is also possible)</p>
<ol>
<li>Who will die?</li>
</ol>
<p>Snape</p>
<ol>
<li>Who is Harry's new girl?</li>
</ol>
<p>Ginny, or possibly Parvati- he was pretty taken by her shiny hair during his History of Magic OWL</p>
<ol>
<li>Will Ron and Hermione get together?</li>
</ol>
<p>You bet :).</p>
<ol>
<li>Who will be the new minister of magic?</li>
</ol>
<p>Hmm...I think Diggory is a decent guess, but I don't really have a good prediction on this.</p>
<p>Neville can't be the HBP, because he's pure-blood. I can't remember the quote, but I think it's in Philosopher's Stone.</p>
<p>the HBP is probably some new character</p>
<p>hurm... i dont know about NEW.. maybe just someone who has been mentioned but isnt a main, ya know?</p>
<ol>
<li>Godric Gryffindor (I think Hagrid's also possible as is Seamus Finnigan -- I have a weird theory). </li>
<li>Dumbledore or a Weasley family member (but not Ron)</li>
<li>Ginny (maybe Luna...)</li>
<li>Yes</li>
<li>Either new character or a character who hasn't played a huge role yet. I think the wizarding world would want Dumbledore in that position, but he might refuse again, as he did last time. There's a chance he'll take it this time tho, in a time of danger.</li>

<p>I had the weirdest Harry dream yesterday. So it's midnight in my dream, I'm at Barnes and Noble, get the book, and go home. When I get home, i realize I forgot the book. So I go back agian and get it. I settle down to read it and I flip to the back to read the last chapter (weird, cuz I NEVER EVER skip ahead like that in reality). I saw the names, "Fleur" and "Krum" appear and when I woke up, my first thought was that "Oh, Fleur's the one that dies." WHICH MAKES ALMOST NO SENSE!</p>
<p>Also, the thing about Seamus is that (I read this off another site)...JKR said she dropped some ominous clues in the 3rd movie. Someone figured out that Seamus wears a ring that's identical to ones all the Slytherins are wearing in that movie (which no other Gryffindor wears). More interesting is that Harry wears the same ring on the cover of the 6th book (has not appeared before). This could be a total stretch though.</p>
<p>Also, the UK "adult" cover has a picture of an Advanced Potions textbook on it. Some people have taken that to mean that Snape is the HBP. As much as I'd love for that to be true, I'm not really convinced.</p>
<p>Or maybe he finally gets to teach DADA?</p>
<p>Snape would be a good one... and then his story would be revealed..which JKR said it would be soon..</p>
<p>i want to find out the promised-by-JK information about the home life of the professors, like their spouses, etc</p>
<p>In Britain the bookies will take bets on almost anything. But they quit taking bets on which Potter character is going to die when a rash of bets on one character were placed from the town in England where the book was then being printed. The bookies smelled inside information.</p>
<p>So I don't know who will die, but I do know on whom all those bets were placed. I'll scroll down a lot and give the name.</p>
<p>Don't scroll down if you don't want to know:</p>

<p>Dumbledore.</p>
<p>Neville has to be the half blood prince because he's mediocre at magic and he was the only other August born child Voldemort thought of as a threat.</p>
<p>July born, you mean?</p>
<p>willmingtonwave, no, Neville can't be the Half-Blood Prince, because he's pure-blood.</p>
<p>Thats what we think, i feel that there may be some twist where nevvile was concieved by a muggle and a wizard. The prince can't be Harry that would be too obvious, and the term prince implies that the person is young meaning they must go to Hogwarts.</p>
<p>Perhaps this half-blood prince isn't neville and is a muggle, and doesn't know he's a wizard or is raised by muggles and lacks powers.</p>
<p>half blood prince: Dudley Dursley :)</p>
<p>The prince can't be Harry Potter because then the title of the book would be Harry Potter and [Harry Potter], which makes absolutely no sense. I'm fairly sure it's a half-blood wizard other than Neville, who is very definitely the son of Frank and Alice Longbottom, a wizard and a witch, and who was described as "as pure-blood as they come" in a context I currently can't remember, but I think in Philosopher's Stone. I don't think that anyone's "hidden parentage" will be revealed to contradict what we already know.

Unfounded assumptions.
(1) "Prince" only implies that the person is unmarried, or married to a queen and unable to take the title of king (e.g. if Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden marries, her husband will be titled Prince even when she herself becomes Queen. I don't know the reasons for this, but it happens.)
(2) There are young people outside Hogwarts -- students at Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, for example, not to mention others that we haven't heard about.</p>
<p>I understand that a prince doesn't have to be old, but the book is about Harry and I feel that the prince would be someone his age and that it would not be someone totally new to the story. It would take away some if the character was totally unrelated to Harry.</p>
