1. I am the Half Blood Prince ... Princess
And I think we'll be seeing a lot of Dumbledore in this book... and then he dies...

2. I've got another prediction:
Percy's named after Dumbledore.

Albus Brian Percival Wulfric Dumbledore.

5. Interesting
That would be ironic, since he's the only Weasley to not believe Dumbledore.

Personally, I like to think of it in terms of the Grail legends. The night Percival is flawed and cannot receive the Grail in the end.

4. If Rowling killed off Harry Potter...
and ended the series... but wrapped everything up nicely, would the fans be upset?

A lot of people
think that Harry may die at the end of the 7th book.

6. I would be secretly pleased
because it would mean the abrupt abortion of the cute "family-friendly" film franchise.

9. Yes.
They were quite upset with Cedric Diggory's death, even though he was a very minor character that really didn't develop until GoF.

13. WARNING: SPOILERS
Your Harry Potter Spoilers

Working in the publishing industry now (well, I work around things that are published), I am privy to...let's say, certain secrets about the new Harry Potter book. Don't be a chump - I'll let you in on a few secrets about the year's most anticipated book hours before you can get it in your hot little hands.

* The Half-Blood Prince...is actually Prince.
* Hogwarts replaces Defense Against The Dark Arts with abstinence-only education. Hermione excels at the class, but after she and Ron decide they're mature enough to handle the consequences of sex, she ends up preggers for the last year of school.
* Draco Malfoy is gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.
* Gay.
* Lord Voldemort's latest attempt to destroy good wizardry is revealed when he uses a concert by rap supergroup Sugarhill Gang to pollute Hogwarts minds. Believe me, it comes off better than it sounds, I swear.
* Cho and Harry hook up, and Rowling uses this as a chance to explore the world of erectile dysfunction. For two hundred and ninety one pages.
* Who dies? I'll have to keep that secret until tonight, but suffice to say that horror movie rules apply, so watch out for the first black character introduced in the book.
