1. Your Patronus Is A: Hawk Your Patronus Is: Average You Use It For: Nothing, you never really have a need for it 2. Your Patronus is the Wolf! The wolf is a symbol of wisdom, loyalty and independence. He is one of history's more revered (and feared) characters. That your Patronus is a wolf says that you are very wise as a person. You tend to be loyal to your friends, even when they screw up, but you are also independent. Finding that balance is key; finding it will ensure that you will be a wonderful witch or wizard! 3. Your Animagus Form is a Bird!

Hey, if everybody was betting so heavily on who dies because of the Guys who stole the early shipment of books gave it way; why didn't they spill who the HBP is? Did they get caught before they could finish it?

I don't remember reading that the two guys leaked it, just that it had been leaked. Someone's running those printing presses lol.

I see...you would think that revealing who the HBP is would be more lucrative and I'm sure there are people out there willing to pay to find out, rather than wait and read.

La la la la for new messages. Hey, Nick, I'm starting to think that the Half Blood Prince is an altogether new character. So maybe there really wasn't anything to leak since the most fun speculation seems to center around which EXISTING character could be the Half Blood Prince. The physical description of him that someone here shared from an excerot makes me think he is brand new. And someone was saying how his shaggy mane of hair made them think of lions. And since Gryffindor's crest has a beast who is part lion, maybe the Half Blood Prince is a descendent of Godric Gryffindor. Maybe he is even related to Harry since we are all speculating that Harry may be a direct descendent of Gryffindor.

The HBP may well be a new character - given his description plus JKR has said the whole HBP storyline had been cut from CoS. Seeing those reviews for that new vampire book, The Historian, keep making me think of Snape, lol.

Calamity! I'm surprised to see you back in here after your post in the Countdown thread. I thought you would be scared to get too much information now that we are so close to the book release date! I think it was you that shared the excerpt I was referring to. What is this new vampire book? I haven't heard of it.

Hmmm....I read that brief description and my take on it was that it was Godric himself. But still...you would think some one would be eager to leak that moreso than who dies...

Godric is a possibility. Oh and I probably won't be on major spoiler-alert until sometime on July 15, lol. I saw where the Scholastic editor said Book Six answers many questions (but of course he'd say that!) and has a lot of character development - Harry & Hermione were mentioned specifically with regards to that. *Smacking my own hand to keep from rambling on about some theories and stuff about Dumbledore, Sirius, and on and on and on* P.S. The vampire book is a new release that's been getting lots and lots of press. Not comparing it to HP, it's just that I now automatically think of Snape when the subject is vamps, lol. Angel & Spike, too. Oh and they're still saying Lupin is evil and will betray Harry! *Sniff* Personally I'm suspicious of Ludo Bagman (I've decided to let up on Seamus)...

I wonder who they're going to get to teach DADA this year lol. As long as it's not Umbridge....

I forgot they would need a new DADA teacher! Maybe the Half Blood Prince will be the DADA teacher! Or maybe Snape will finally land his dream job. I don't think Lupin is evil. No way! Okay, I guess anything is *possible,* but I really don't think so.

I don't think Lupin is evil either. I think Snape needs a few good therapy sessions and he wouldn't be so grumpy either.

I don't believe that either Lupin or Snape are evil, either.

It was leaked who the HBP was. I am not telling though because my e-mail addy is wrong on my profile, and I dont know how to change it.

I don't think I want to know! It is more fun to speculate. For all the fun I have in this thread, in the end, I would rather be surprised. Lady, click on the profile link on the top of the page and enter your username and password and you should be able to make profile changes. LOL @ Snape needing a few good therapy sessions!

Got this from Wikipedia.. On May 24, 2005, news sources reported that one particular character may die in the book. This rumour came about when in Bungay—where the book is being printed—there were a large number of £50 bets that that character would die in the next book. This BBC article about a leaked copy of the book also mentions this rumour.

And I will be really ticked if it is one of the weasleys.. actually I can't think of anyone I would want to have killed off except the villans that is. Maybe it will be one of the Dursleys to illustrate how the Voldy's evil has now moved to the muggle world. I don't know.. I am quite fond of them all.

Now I hate Snape but even I wouldn't wish the cursed DADA post on him. Well, maybe a little, lol. I remember before OotP came out and the word was that the new DADA prof would be female, people speculated it would be Fleur. She did say she wanted to get a job at Hogwarts. *Shrug* I have trouble picturing that but, who knows? Someone mentioned Viktor and it occurred to me that, going back to the question of where did Salazar Slytherin go after leaving Hogwarts, maybe SS founded Durmstrang. That would explain why the school teaches the Dark Arts and doesn't admit Muggle-born students.

Ohhhhh, good theory Calamity. Slytherin as the founder of Durmstrang. I never thought of that. I wonder if Viktor will have any further roles in the books besides making Ron jealous. I have trouble picturing Fleur as a DADA teacher also.

My BiL has a neat theory. He thinks the cover shows the Pensieve and he thinks the Half-Blood Prince is going to be someone in the Pensieve. Would you guys believe I am going to be on a road trip on the day the book is released?? I don't know how I am going to get my hands on a copy but I will find a way!!

Hermione69: Just don't try to read and drive at the same time, lol! Have a great trip! That's a nifty idea - Harry seeing the Half-Blood Prince in the Pensieve.

I guess these are the back covers for the British/Canadian & American editions, respectively (sorry, I had to shrink them way down before it would let me post them):
Other past HP book cover images
