Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince(speculation & spoilerish)

[Summers]

All of us from the HP Thread would like to thank the mods for allowing to make another HP thread. Due to every reading rates, and whenever people are able to get the book many members would find it difficult to discuss in the HP thread. This thread allows the sole discussion of the book. So thank you so much moderators for allowing us to do this :).

A week from Saturday HBP comes out
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v280/Avonela/HBP.jpg

I'm starting this thread now to countdown the days. Further speculation, and once the book is all HBP discussion will take place here. You can discuss what happened in the . The other HP thread HBP will not be discussed until the end of August. This thread is sort of a waiting time.

Thus far our speculations from the HP thread.

Who is the Half Blood Prince? Possiblities:
-Lupin
-Seamus
-Hagrid
-Dumbledore
-Mad Eye Moody
-A new character

Who is going to perish in HBP? Possiblities:
-Neville
-Mr. or Mrs. Weasley
-Lupin
-Ron
-Dumbledore
-Professour McGongall

What are the discussions HBP will touch on? From JKR:
-More info on the lovely Lily Potter(we have couple theories on her)
-More background on Tom Riddle aka Lord Voldemort(this one will cross over into the last book as well)
-Harry will get a love interest
-We will have a new Defense of the Dark Arts Teacher
-We will also have new Minister of Magic
-The wizard world will be a different environment since everyone knows Voldemort as return, and the war has just begun(this was actually discussed in the HBP by us :) ).


I think that the gist. I dont have time to find the theories right now until the afternoon. I just wanted to get it the thread started.

Thanks again to the moderators for allowing us to do this :).

Over the course of the week leading the release this thread will mostly be speculations, but once July 16th hits whatever happens in the book can be discussed. So if you dont want to be spoiled while reading the book do not come to this thread, but go to the other HP thread. The HP thread will still be active from news of any sort, HP movies, and discussion of the previous five books. HBP will not be discussed in the other thread until the end of August.

You can discuss HBP in the HP thread in segments. We call it the 7 Chapter Rule. Each week everyone will allowed to discuss at least seven chapters of the book each week in the HP thread. This will allow people to speculate the HP thread without getting spoiled of what happens in the book. So the 7 Chapter Rule is active in the HP Thread.

Summers' book 6 theories so far

Okay I have to put my thoughts somewhere about the first three chapters. Now, I think JKR gave a lot foreshadowing in those chapters. What I think will happen at the end of this book is:
-Dumbledore will, in fact, die because it really goes with the symbolism of growing up. A rite of passage that Harry will have to face in the last book. It will be sad if he dies. I know I will cry, but JKR loves symbolism/metaphors. I kinda hope I'm wrong, but Ch.3 really emphasizes this two me.
-Snape...Snape..Snape. Very interesting. Now there are two theories I have about him:
1)He is playing the evil side, and is helping Dumbledore. However, I dont think this likely for some reason.
2)Snape always been evil, and all this time as been playing us and the Order. I think to emphasize that he is, in fact, evil he may have to kill Dumbledore because Dumbledore is so loved by the fans, and his death would be a harsh blow to Harry and the Order. But it will show Snape is not longer good(much how Joss Whedon emphasized that Angel is truly gone to the audience by having him kill Jenny Calander).

If these theories come to past(the Dumbledore and Snape theory number two) would be more motivation for Harry to fulfill his destiny.

I want to say bravo to Alice. Her speculation on the Dementors siding with Voldemort was right on the money. I thought of you Alice, and you were so right :D ;) *clasps*

[Snake_Corda]

Yes we would!!! Thank you to all the mods for allowing us to deviate into this realm of HP!! :D

[Summers]

That first post took longer than I thought it would :lol:.

[SheBangs]

Summers just incase someone doesnt know the rules you guys set up on discussing the book. You might want to put that in the first post. Just a thought:)

[Snake_Corda]

Well it was huge!! :lol:

You did a great job organizing hun. That is some nifty teacher skills coming out there ;) :lol:

What is it now? 7 days and around 11 hours till the book comes? I'm just guessing from looking earlier at Mugglenet.

[Summers]

You mean the rules discussing the HBP in the HP thread. The seven chapter rule?

[SheBangs]

Yes

[Snake_Corda]

That is a good idea, SB. I'll also be reposting that rule everyday for the first couple days of release since I'm the early guy usually in this thread during the week.

[MBCorp]

Oooh shiney new HBP thread.:D Everything looks great.:)

[slayer]

I agree with Alice :D
So Mel, this thread is all HBP? The seven chapter rule doesn't apply here?
So if someone read the whole book really fast and posted on it here we would all be spoiled. The way you wrote it sounded that way. So....?

No Dawnie we are doing the Seven Chapter Rule here. She meant for this thread here only. Since we won't be discussing HBP over in the other thread.

[slayer]

Oh! That makes sense :D *ditzy*

[smallvillefanforlife]

ok this thread is only HBP and the other one is everything but HBP ok i get it :D

[4EverSmallville]

Thanks to the Mods & Less than eight days everyone :D.

Is this thread still game for speculation? I was wondering about the Quidditch team, and I'm sure you guys have already covered that in the other thread, but I don't have the slightest idea where to look, any tips?

[smallvillefanforlife]

speculation is what were doing on this thread until the book comes out what do you mean about quidditch

[4EverSmallville]

Okay. Well I know that Harry will most likely be reinstated since Umbridge is gone. But I'm wondering who will fill the positions that are being left open. Would Ginny try out for Chaser like she said she would, is Ron going to play Keeper? I was wondering what you all knew about that.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i think it will go back to normal i dont know about ginny though she might

[4EverSmallville]

There are students graduating though, aren't there? Like the captain, Angelina. I was wondering if you guys had any speculation as to who will fill those spots. As of now, I only know for certain that Harry will be on the team. Do you guys think Harry will be made captain, since it looks like he's going to be the most senior team member?

[smallvillefanforlife]

thats true alot of people have left i know ron is going to be on there probably some people we really dont know i would live it if hermione joined

[4EverSmallville]

Hermione doesn't strike me as the Quidditch player :lol:. Besides, she'll be knee deep in N.E.W.T. level work so I doubt she'll even want to make time for it lol.

[smallvillefanforlife]

but that would be great though if all three of them were on the team yeah i forgot about newt those are going to be hard the owls are probably nothing compared to those

[4EverSmallville]

They don't take N.E.W.T.s until seventh year, but the classes they are going to be taking are N.E.W.T. level. I can't wait to see how Potions goes for Harry and who they come up with for a new D.A.D.A. teacher. I wish it would be Lupin, but I doubt too many parents would be thrilled.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i like how there is always a new D.A.D.A teacher is hagrid still a teacher there i forget, yeah lupin wont get it hes a werewolfe but lupin was my favorite out of any of them but i liked how mad eye let them do so much potions are always bad for harry :(

[Snake_Corda]

I just saw the back picture of the book. Has anyone seen it yet?

[4EverSmallville]

I especially like how people think the job is jinxed. Just adds to interest in the story, IMO. I think Mad-Eye just let them do all that stuff because he was on Voldemort's orders to make sure Harry got through the TriWizard. I'm wondering how Voldemort going public will effect Snape and his responsibilities with the Order.

No, where did you see it? Any description you can offer us impatient readers :lol:?

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah i want to see the back do you have a pic or link

[Snake_Corda]

Ok, this is possible spoilerish so I'm letting you know now!!

[4EverSmallville]

! The Dark Mark!!!! I wonder where they see it!!! Now that is going to haunt me all week :lol:.

Is that Hermione, Ginny, and Ron possibly? Because I don't see a scar on the boy. Or could it just be anyone lol?

[Snake_Corda]

It looks like that is Hogwarts in the background.

I think that is Ron, Hermione, and Ginny...though it could be Neville I guess. I'm sticking with Ron.

That was the same thought I had Ash!

[4EverSmallville]

I was thinking Hogwarts too but I told myself to stop before I practically burst with anticipation :lol:. So I don't feel as bad since you said it first.

They put the Dark Mark up whenever they've killed so, does that mean that if that mark is at Hogwarts, they've killed there?

[smallvillefanforlife]

oh i love it that makes me want the book even more i really like the dark mark and how is it at hogwarts that means either voldemort is there or its from the death eaters

[Snake_Corda]

I know, I know. If that is the grounds of Hogwarts then they still can't get inside, but can on the grounds I assume. If that is Ron, Hermione, and Ginny...then that leaves Harry out obviously...but then Neville....who else I can't think right now...somebody look at Mel's post on the first page :lol:

Wow!!!!!!:eek: The dark mark...at Hogwarts?!?!!! Awesome!!! Thanks for posting that, Adam. I don't know how I'm going to get through this entire week. It seems like the 16th will never get here fast enough.:p

I think that's Ron, Hermione and Ginny too, but there's a faint figure right behind Ron(?) that's really hard to see. I wonder who that is? I wonder if the dark mark is at Hogwarts because Voldemort and the death eaters will attack the school? And possibly kill Dumbledore? :eek:

[4EverSmallville]

Who is going to perish in HBP? Possiblities:
-Neville
-Mr. or Mrs. Weasley
-Lupin
-Ron
-Dumbledore



I'm so excited I can't think of anything intelligent to say right now. :lol:

Were those all the possibilities you all came up with? What about Hagrid? Since it looks like the mark is hovering over the grounds, could it be Hagrid?

[smallvillefanforlife]

it looks like there is alot of people there you can see the shadows maybe they were in the scholl and they saw it and everyone came running out

[Snake_Corda]

I believe we said Hagrid as well, Ash. This makes me believe it is a teacher or student. I don't think Mr. or Mrs. Weasley as much now. Of course is this the only death?

[MBCorp]

Originally posted by smallvillefanforlife

Yeah, that's a good speculation. Maybe Voldemort and his death eaters have attacked the school and the DA kids have to fight him off? I wonder how Voldemort got on the grounds though? I'm kind of thinking Dumbledore is going to die now.

I'm kind of thinking Dumbledore. I think it would explain how Voldemort was able to get on the school grounds in the first place.

I'm so excited I went back to my Hermione avatar.:lol:

[4EverSmallville]

Originally posted by smallvillefanforlife

I was thinking along those lines as well. Someone spotted, maybe at mealtime when the entire school is congregated, and they all flood out to see it.

If it's at Hogwarts then I don't think this particular one will be either of the Weasleys. But I do remember reading something that said the mysterious deaths will begin again, so Voldemort will probably be active in killing now. Maybe he will get to the Weasleys. Didn't Sirius say that if there was ever a bunch of blood traitors it was them?

Hagrid :( . I hope it isn't him, but if it's on the grounds, he's the most likely to be out there.

[smallvillefanforlife]

MBCorp im glad you went back to hermione and the countdown but yeah you can see all the shadows of other people there is someone behind that boy in front

that would be so sad if dumbeldore died i dont think rowling would be able to do that :(

It can't be too difficult to get onto the grounds. Remember Mr. Crouch made it even in his mad state, so a perfectly sane and powerful Voldemort wouldn't have to much trouble. Also, he could have a source inside the castle like he did in GoF. You never know.

:lol: about the Hermione avatar.

Well, the thread does say spoilerish in it :lol:.

Cool :D. Thanks, Adam.

I agree with Alice. Its Ron, Hermoine, and Ginny.

Why do I have a feeling that's sign from Voldemort because of the snake. Maybe it means Partsletouge. Its just like in the Wizard of Oz.

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah remember that wasnt even the real mad eye moody in gof if someone evil like that can come than voldemort and the death eaters can, malfoys dad comes on the grounds he a death eater and they all thought sirius was evil and he mad it into the castle now that ithink about it hogwarts isnt that safe lol

[Summers]

If Lucious comes, then that means he broke out of Askaban prison.

[smallvillefanforlife]

lucious is in prison i forgot that why i need to read Ootp again im kindof lost

[4EverSmallville]

Either that or the dementors have joined ranks with the Death Eaters.

[Summers]

lol. All the Death Eaters that were in the battle in Ministry of Magic they all went to Askaban.

IMO Since Luicious out of the way this gives a chance to progress Draco's character :).

Doesn't the Dark Mark always have the snake, despite who fires it? :confused:

Do dementors even have free will?

[MBCorp]

Originally posted by 4EverSmallville

I've been expecting that to happen. That's probably how the death eaters will get out of prison, the dementors will join up with Voldemort.

It looks like the kids are in a green mist. I wonder what's up with that?

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah but i bet the death eaters joined with voldemort and let all the death eaters out maybe they put that in the air to let everyone now they're back

[Summers]

Originally posted by 4EverSmallville

To be honest I dont remember. There are things I remember clearly. I know what the Dark Mark means, but I dont remember what it looks like.

We know the Dark Mark signifies followers of Voldemort who is a decendent of the heir of Slyterhin. I just dont remember.

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah cause it was harrys wand who let the dark mark out in gof

[Snake_Corda]

It does, I just wanted to be sure :lol:

No problem Mel :D

I actually contributed a picture :p :lol:

I think it has to be those three as well.

I thought the Death Mark always had the snake? Am I wrong?

[Summers]

I dont remember what the Dark Mark looked like :lol:.

I'm still wondering if dementors have free will?

[MBCorp]

I thought the death mark always had the snake too? It was Voldemort's symbol.

I think the dementors have free will because everyone was worried about them joining up with Voldemort. If they didn't have free will then Dumbledore wouldn't have said that they were dangerous.

[Summers]

I dont think Dumbledore even mentioning free will. The dementors are dangerous because they show know signs of mercy. They dont care about anything. If you are in their path they will take away your soul.

Its a part of their nature to be unforgiving. What possible reason would the dementors take lead with Voldemort?

[smallvillefanforlife]

i forget but didnt dumbledore say something about that in one of the books before it was either gof or Ootp

[Summers]

I believe it was in the PoA.

[smallvillefanforlife]

oh cause i remember him saying a reason why they would join voldemort and he thought they might

[MBCorp]

Here's a quote from GoF with Dumbledore talking about the dementors:


"The rest of us sleep less soundly in our beds, Cornelius, knowing that you have put Lord Voldemort's most dangerous supporters in the care of creatures who will join him the instant he asks them!" said Dumbledore. "They will not remain loyal to you, Fudge! Voldemort can offer them much more scope for their powers and their pleasures than you can!"

[Summers]

Stand corrected. Thanks for clearing it up Alice...its deeply appreciated and needed ;). Okay, answered two questions with one blow.

[smallvillefanforlife]

yeah! thats it i think the dementors do have free will and i think they are going to join voldemort but remember hagrid went to talk the giants into joining them

I just reread these books a few weeks ago so everything is still pretty fresh in my mind.:p

About the giants, I kind of get the feeling that they will join up with the good guys and that Grawp will be instrumental in doing this. I'm not sure about the other creatures though like the centaurs.

[smallvillefanforlife]

its going to start getting really bad theres going to be a war i bet
i think the centaurs will join on the good cause they are good creatures

You cheated :lol: :p. J/K

Centaurs IMO might be Switerzland in this mess. To stay neutral in this book, but the last they will have to make a decision. I dont recall them wanting to get involved with humans. Its one of the reasons Freanz(sp?) was banished from them because he helped Harry.

[smallvillefanforlife]

im just saying if they do have to i dont think they would join the dark side but they might stay neutral

JK Rowling #1 on Amazon's list of top selling authors
In celebration of Amazon's 10 year anniversary, the online mega store has announced their top selling authors. No surprise, the author of the Potter series made it to the number one slot. Others making the top ten included Spencer Johnson ("Who Moved My Cheese?"), Dan Brown ("The Da Vinci Code"), Dr. Seuss, and Stephen King.

WOOHOO!!!

Jim Dale to read passage from Harry Potter on Today Show
NBC's Today Show, which has had several big Potter exclusives in the past, lists in their schedule that on Tuesday Jim Dale will be reading a passage from Harry Potter. At this time, we are not sure what book he'll be reading from. We're working to confirm this - stay tuned!

UPDATE: NBC says they want it to be a surprise. We find it unlikely that they would bring him on the show just to read from any of the first five books, so it is possible that he could read a passage from book 6.

So on July 12th this will happen...Oh, I bet it is HBP :D

I went through the whole schedule this is the only HP thing next week. But they have Charlie and Chocolate Factory all week :mad:.

[smallvillefanforlife]

hopefully i'll watch for that

Ooh I saw that earlier today. :D JKR, Stephen King, Tolkein, and C.S. Lewis were the only authors on that list that I liked. Glad to see that JKR was #1!!!!:D

[Summers]

Me too :).

Next Sunday will be her new interview with JKR on Dateline, and I believe they will be talking more on HP on the following Monday.

[slayer]

wow, I missed a lot of stuff.
So this is the thread I want to steer clear once HBP comes out..

Thx, for the back cover art Puffy :p
I think it's Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

As for the persom who dies, I definetly think that it will be Dumbledore, not the Weasley's or one of the Trio.

That is the Dark Mark, well I'm pretty sure at least..
I want in the back of my mind for Draco to become a good guy
now that he's out of the wretches of his father, but I doubt that will happen...oh! and I want Mrs. Malfoy to fall in love with a young, hot muggle!! :lol: but, I doubt that will happen either...

Yes, that's why I said in my first post if you dont want to get spoiled dont come to this thread after the book is released. Once the book is out I wont be in this thread until I'm finished with the book, so I'll be in the HP thread for like three weeks :lol:.

[SheBangs]

Man thank god my hotel has wireless internet! Thanks alot for the picture Snake Corda! I dont know if it was cleared up but the deathmark to my understanding ALWAYS has the serpent. It is the mark of Voldemort. I find it odd that Harry isnt in the back of the cover art. Though was I the only one to think that the boy in the back didnt look like Ron but a different character entirely? Possibly the HBP? Just throwing that out there. Probably wrong. Anyway thanks again for the picture!

[slayer]

No, you know what it might be...
Immediately after looking at the book I didn't think it was Ron, but it seemed like "who else?"...maybe you're right or harry's gay and that's his new love interest :lol:

[SheBangs]

What a plot twist!:lol:

[Sierra-san]

*descends from the shadows in a cool CGI cutscene*

First off, it's Lucius, although he certainly is lucious. ;)
Second, it's Firenze.

The official description of the back cover is posted on mugglenet. Here it is:

The back cover depicts Ron and Hermione as well as two other Hogwarts students looking at “the Dark Mark”. Drawn in the same green tones as the front cover, GrandPré has created another incredible piece of art that captures the essence and mystery of the Harry Potter books.

So that's definitely Ron.:)

Just think guys, this time next week we'll be reading HBP.:eek: :D

It's not just you at all. My mind is playing tricks on me. The past few days I've been waking up thinking it's a day later than it really is. And then I get all excited because I'm thinking okay six days left, and I come on here and everyone says seven. :lol: It's pure madness.

Anyway, anyone think the two other prophecies in the DoM have something to do with HBP?

The old man says "On the solstice will come a new-"

The young woman says "And none will come after."

:confused:

[SheBangs]

I have heard theis theory before and I like it. Its just like JK to add something small and making it huge or a good part of the book. Room of Requirment anyone. The thing is what would it mean. Possibly talking about the HBP? Or it could have been insignificant(sp?) though I doubt it ;)

The official description of the back cover is posted on mugglenet. Here it is:

The back cover depicts Ron and Hermione as well as two other Hogwarts students looking at “the Dark Mark”. Drawn in the same green tones as the front cover, GrandPré has created another incredible piece of art that captures the essence and mystery of the Harry Potter books.

So that's definitely Ron.:)

Just think guys, this time next week we'll be reading HBP.:eek: :D

Thanks for all the info, Alice! :D

Are they adult parties or are they kids and adults? I know some local bookstores are having them, but I'm wondering what the age range will be, maybe I'll convince a friend to come with me and crash one :lol:.

Get all dressed up and then jump in front just to see their reactions :eek: :lol:

[4EverSmallville]

:eek: You have to dress up? :lol: Oh no. I could see myself doing that and then I can't. I wouldn't normally do that...but this is HP we're talking about. Strange things do happen...:lol:

[Snake_Corda]

You don't have to dress up at all, but I seem to remember a Man Show episode where Adam and Jimmy dressed up as Darth Maul and Yoda, I think, and cut in front of these people that had been there for days....just to see what they would do. I felt bad for the people but it was funny :lol:

[4EverSmallville]

HP fans would probably start a riot if someone cut in line :lol:. I'm not one to start anything, but if someone tries to cut me in line...I can't be held accountable for my actions. ;) :rotfl:

[Snake_Corda]

Cutter: Watch it, I need this spot!

Cuttee: Excuse me, I have been here for 5 hours.

Cutter: Not my problem buddy

Cuttee: Aveda Kadv--

Cutter: *visibly shaken* Ok Ok!! I was just playing! *hurries off to the end of the line :p

I dont know. The age range is wide since HP goes to adults as well. Last year I would say half of the people who came were adults as well. HP isnt kiddie book or just an adult book. Its a book for all ages :D.

We havent decided where to go yet. I know B&N is having one, but the mall is having a big thing as well with owls and such. So I have to talk to her about it.

Do you guys want to me to take some pictures of the events?

[Snake_Corda]

That would be very cool, Mel, if you did that. I would be really interested to see what those are like.

I'm going to take pictures of them. They always look so cute. I'll try to make it both parties. See the one mall is East part of town, and B&N is the West side of town. I'll just take pictures, and they turn out okay lol.

My father(totally HP fanatic) said this week he may need to go to a HP rehab. For the past four weeks he has either been reading HP or watch the three movies over and over and over again. My mom is like "Honey, not again" lol. I kinda want to ask my father to come with.

Do we need to take a collection for gas money, Mel? Seriously, that's a lot of driving just to take pictures. I don't want you doing that if it puts you out.

Met too many college guys where the "little boy" is their personality. Run for the hills :lol:. Still with you and my dad its charming since its a quality that doesnt come out once and a while ;).

HBP leaked in Canada
Raincost Books, the publisher of the Harry Potter series in Canada, has released a statement regarding a leak of up to 15 copies of Half Blood Prince. The leak occurred when the retailer, the Great Canadian Superstore, accidentally put the copies out for sale. In response to the leak, Raincost Books has filed an injunction to protect the plot and is urging anyone who obtained a copy to return it until July 16th.

Here we go again :(.

A mysterious ring...
Look at this picture from Amazon's warehouse. See a ring on Harry's finger? This appears to be the same ring that is on the UK edition's back cover, and it is definitely not on the original US edition.
Let the speculation begin, and be sure to check out one of our Featured Editorials which looks at a HBP ring theory. Thanks to Sara for the tip!

EDIT: Looking at other pictures in the batch of Amazon photos, it looks like this is the only one with the strange indentation. Misprinted, edited, or a special marking on some books? We'll just have to wait and see.


Remember the ring on the UK version. Remember speculated it couldve belonged to either Lily Potter or HBP himself. If its on Harry's figure there is a good possiblity that it is in fact Lily's after all.

[Sierra-san]

Crap, not again. >_>;

Here's the One Ring:

http://www4.mugglenet.com/gallery/data/media/126/mysteryring.jpg

It could very well be a misprint.

[Summers]

Here is the picture of the ring again:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v280/Avonela/ring.gif

I think the broken crack on the ring is one of the most important features. Because the question is why is it cracked? Was this the ring that on Lily's figure before she died?

That was my idea. >O

Actually, it looks like a man's ring. Maybe it belonged to James or Sirius. Sirius Black and the Onyx Ring. :3

Which one. We had so many speculations I forget who has dibs.

If its a man's ring then I'm going with that is belongs to the HBP. If is Sirius, then perhaps Lupin gave it to Harry to remember Sirius.

About it belonging to Lily.

Hm, that's another possibility. I like the idea of Sirius though. I wonder what kind of significance it has.

[Summers]

The significance that was his. The sentimental value of it. If you look beyond the crack it looks like it has the letter "S" on it??

[Sierra-san]

Originally posted by Summers

Actually, I can see that. It sort of looks like the Superman logo in the middle.

[Summers]

yea, I was seeing the same thing.

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

Ok, are we all believing that Sirius is gone for good? Because I'm hanging on to the dim hope that he's not really dead, and will be returning--if not in HBP, then by book 7.

KEEP HOPE ALIVE, PEOPLE!!!!!!!!

And about the HBP, since JKR has said it will neither be Harry nor Voldy, what about James? I know he's dead and all, but who knows? Or, possibly it could be Sirius, since I'm believing he'll come back. Hmm...

[Summers]

That's a good point. The HBP could be a person who is dead, but has something valuable needed by Harry or Voldemort.

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

Something valuable like a golden ring of power? :D

Well, it wouldn't be the first time HP had similarities to LOTR... white bearded wizards and scary creatures in black hooded capes, anyone? ;) Seriously, though, I don't think the ring would be a misprint. Why would an artist go through the trouble of drawing it on Harry's hand if it didn't have some significance? I think we might be on to something here...

BTW, did anyone read the review posted at Mugglenet by the kid who saw the screening of GOF? I won't say anything about it, since it's spoilery, other than WOW, I can't wait to see this movie!!!!!!!

[Summers]

I dont know if its a misprint because that ring was on the UK version as well as the what many speculated to be the pensive.

I read just a snipnet of what it says on the review. I didnt read the post, but I got giddy that mugglenet said the kid said it was just as good as SS and CoS. The two best adaptations of the books :D.

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

Well, the part where the kid said it had the potential to be "the best of all the HP movies, including PoA" once they were finished with it (since what they saw at the screening was a rough draft) really has me doing backflips! Yay!

Cause I mean, PoA... da-yum! That was a good movie!!!

[Summers]

Is it a good adaptation of the book? Like CoS.

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

I've read a few articles in the past half hour from this private screening, some by people who don't read the books, and some who do. Some of those who don't read the books said it was hard to follow because it jumps rather quickly, but others said they didn't have a problem with it. And those who know the books said it's a wonderful adaptation, very true to the books. I'm glad to hear that, because I watch the movies BECAUSE I LOVE THE BOOKS, not the other way around :p There are a few things that are different in the movie, which I suspect are mainly because of editing due to time constraints. I won't mention them since you haven't read the article though. All in all, from what I've read, true HP fans are going to be very happy with this movie. I'm so excited :D :D :D

[Summers]

Cool. I'm giddy, and its only a test screening. They can do certain reshoots(if necessary), or fix some things. I mean that's what test screenings are for. To see what should keep in and what should keep out.

The only thing I do know is that the Durselys are not in this one because of the allot time that should be devoted to the story. That's understandable.

But I need to ask one thing. Just say yes or no pretty please. Is the Tom Riddle opening with his house in the movie?

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

Yes :D

[MBCorp]

I'm looking forward to how they do Voldemort in GoF. I don't think there's been any screencaps of him, has there?

I like the theory that the ring on the bookcover belongs to Lily and that maybe she was wearing it when she died.

[Summers]

No, no Voldemort yet. I wonder if they are waiting for the full trailer to show him.

Me too, and would tie right into the other Lily theory.

[Clarks Blue Eyed Angel]

Yes, I'm looking forward to Voldy, too. I at first thought that Finnes was a terrible choice for this part, but all the reviewers, even those who thought the movie wasn't that great (mostly those who hadn't read the books) agreed that Finnes does a fantastic job, and that he is the perfect Voldemort. That's twice now that I've stood corrected... I didn't think Oldman would make a convincing Sirius, but I *loved* him in the role. They also say the woman playing Rita Skeeter (forgot her name, sorry) does a great job as well. :D

[Summers]

I think Miranda Richardson is playing Rita.

[Summers]

Well, this sucks. Before commerical break Matt said he would read an excerpt from the new book, but no he reads OoTP excerpt. Ugh, we shouldve known JKR wouldnt allow it.

[smallvillefanforlife]

well that sucks that ones old, but they might be keeping voldemort secret like they did with SS

[4EverSmallville]

They read something for OotP? Aw now why would they do that? Anyone who's interested in the books will have read that already...or does this passage have anything to do at all with HBP?

[Summers]

I dont mind that. I just wish Matt Lauer didnt say "new book". My mom(who is burnt on HP because of my dad and I) she was even grrr...argh about it lol.


Originally posted by 4EverSmallville

It was a passage from the third chapter when Lupin and other wizards comes to Harry right after the Dementors in the alley. Mugglenet has the link to view the Dale interview with Katie Couric who even asked if Dumbledore dies, and he replies "I signed" so he cannot say anything.

Am I the only one who sees a serpent head when you look behind the crack? Seriously just look at it. Maybe it belonged to Voldy or another Slytherin. Or someone else entirely. Though I have no doubt in my mind that the ring is magical.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i pretty much knew they wouldnt read anything from it but to go back into the last book wa kindof stupid they could have at least read the final pages of Ootp to lead into HBP

im lost what is the ring from maybe its the half blood prince's

Hey you guys! Someone in the Off Topic thread has all of the chapters of HBP posted. You want to see them? Y/N? I'm not sure if I want to look @ them lol....I probably will seeing as how I have no will power when it comes to this stuff.

I'm looking really hard, and I dont see a serpent. I just see an "S". Your are right. In fact, we speculated that the ring can be the HBP as well.

[SheBangs]

I could be stretching on the serpent. Thats just what I saw when I first looked at it. A serpents head.*shrug*The ring itself? That would be interesting. Maybe it could be needed for both sides and could be used for good or evil? I remember when OOP was out. The 6th book was supposedly called Hary Potter and The Green Flame Torch. It was a weapon that was suppose to heal all good and kill all evil or vice versa. It all depended on who had it. Could this be just an incarnation of the Torch?

[Summers]

I dont remember that lol. But IMO I think Clarks Eye Blue Angel and I were speculating last night we basically came to that senerio as well.

That the HBP could be dead(she thought that up :) ), and the ring belongs to him. The ring would be very useful in the war. That Voldemort and Harry desperating need. Maybe that's what boat leads to in the UK backcover. To the ring?

[smallvillefanforlife]

ware you serious that the chapters are on there, this ring does sound interesting just 4 days and we all have it

spoiler( chapter 9 is called half blood prince)

[4EverSmallville]

Yeah :lol: they are posted in an off-topic thread. Do you all want to see them?

I don't know how reliable they are though, the poster just said that they'd been posted online. I don't know whether that's true or false.

The thing is what would the ring do Kill all evil. Male you more powerful? What? Though we might be putting way to much into the cover art(god I hope not) I just thought the boat led to Hogwarts. Though it could be Harry and the gang have to go on an adventure to find the ring. Though how would he since he had classes? This is all getting me confused and excited. Anyone else interested in what Harry got in his O.W.L.S?

[smallvillefanforlife]

i dont know about the chapter names some sound fake to me why would the HBP come out so early in the book

Well, call me making an assumption I assume one of the chapters would have the HBP in the book lol.

Well, IMO If you look at all the book covers are things that are in the book itself. The story in the book. Is it me, but they finish there adventures right before finals or after lol.

I hope the O.W.L.S are the first things we know about. You would assume they would receive a letter during the summer, so they know what classes to take in the 6th year.

[SheBangs]

Your right :lol: they always finish after they have taken their finals. Or before which Dumbledore lets them not take them since they have been through alot. How many exams has Harry actually taken?

I think in OOP someone said that they would recieve their results by owl. I hope Harry got good in potions. I want all of the gang to be Aurors including Neville!(If he doesnt die)

[smallvillefanforlife]

do they do O.W.L.S in there 6th year i thought it was 7th, is the ring on one of the covers of the book

[SheBangs]

They have already done their O.W.L.S. that was in the fifth year. N.E.W.T.'s are in their 7th:D

I know he took the finals in SS and in OoTP. I dont recall PoA or GoF lol. CoS Dumbledore elimnated the exams :D.

Harry IMO should be in the Aurors. Neville seems to be really good at Herbology.

[slayer]

I don't think Hermione should be a Auror, only Harry and Ginny, I think they'd be great Aurors :)

Though he is getting better at Defense Against the Dark Arts. I wonder what you can be that involves Herbology? Correct me if I am wrong but didnt JK say the last chapter of the last book that she had already written. Tells you what happened to all the characters that lived?

[smallvillefanforlife]

i want harry to play quidditch he is so good but it wasnt even mad eye who said harry should be an auror

[slayer]

No. Not a G/H shipper.
Well, if we're talking about classes, why shoul neville be an Auror?

[SheBangs]

I wouldnt mind Harry to play qudditch(sp?) Though I would more want him to be an auror. I would hope that he would rather help people then play a game.

Your half-right she wrote the last chapter of the last book, but she did not tell what the chapter entails.

She did say she might make another HP book that tells of what happened after the children left Hogwarts. Or an encyclopedia of the backstory she already written that's not in the book.

personally, I'm a ginny/neville shipper as well :).

[slayer]

I don't even want harry to play quidditch when he goes back to school, he probably should have more important things to do

I mean is Hogwarts like the US states school. Where we can do academics and atheltics at the same time as long as we have the grades?

It would be a good release for him. It was for me :D.

[slayer]

no, IMO that's what his friends are for, to help him out Herm. and Ron would do that for him, if he let them

Your half-right she wrote the last chapter of the last book, but she did not tell what the chapter entails.

She did say she might make another HP book that tells of what happened after the children left Hogwarts. Or an encyclopedia of the backstory she already written that's not in the book.

personally, I'm a ginny/neville shipper as well :).

Oh I could have sworn she said thats what it was about....Guess I was wrong.I dont really like G/H. I am more for H/H. Mainly because G/H except for the 2nd and last book didnt really have a pivitol friendship with Harry.

True, but the thing is we come to the hero/heroine complex. Hermoine and Ron arent him. They wouldnt know what he is going through. He can let them in, but it still as frustrating.

To me Harry is a physical, athletic person. He needs to release all those frustrations and release it. Its one the reasons Buffy always workout/went patroling, and Harry loving to fly on his broomstick. Its a release. It doesnt mean he wont go to his friends still, but it helps from things getting bottled up inside.

I'm a L/H shipper :D Along with R/H and G/N :)

Your not wrong. Your half-right :). Adam, Sierra, and I are H/H as well.

Yes, half right! H/H is so awesome! I need my eyes checked because I wnet into the whole H/H thing because I thought you said you were a G/H shipper. Saw Harry instead of Neville. Just wanted to say that so it wouldnt make my earlier post sound so random.LOL

:lol: nah lol

No, I'm mostly two ships Ginny/Neville and H/H.

[smallvillefanforlife]

oh after the burial sounds good does thatmean someone died, and the white tomb sounds interesting, im glad hermione has a chapter

[Summers]

If this true it makes me think HBP is really dead.

[slayer]

what? you think the HBP is the one that dies?

[smallvillefanforlife]

hopfully its not one of the main characters i wouldnt be able to handle that after sirius died

[slayer]

i think it will be dumbledore

[smallvillefanforlife]

oh noo hopefully not i love dumbledore he really helps harry

[Summers]

lol no. We know a main character is going to die.

But what if HBP is already dead to begin with?

[slayer]

stop it :lol:

True, I would hate for that to happen. But it goes with the symbolism of growing up if it happens. IMO Hadgrid is the most expendable.

I agree, unfortunately...unless he gets the Giants to come...then he is a bit more...I love Hagrid, but he hasn't been a vital cog per se other than a great friend to Harry. That is really important, but not vital to the survival of the good wizarding world.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i used to say sirius differ but i used to say hermone in my head until i read gof when she tells flint how its really said

You already know huh lol. That's the main reason. I love speculating here and what was the Buffyverse. Not so many arguments. Just different points of view.

Its comforting :).

You aren't intimidating, Mel. You are you, that's why we love you! Stop sounding like me, you know how I always worry ;) :lol:

[smallvillefanforlife]

Me too. I had my last one last night. That was the last straw for me lol. I'm not a shipper in SV, so whatever happens I can still smile :).

Still if Hermoine ends up with Ron. I wouldnt mind. I have no ill-will against Ron, or any of the ships in the Potterverse. Its just an aspect of the books.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i have always wanted to see hermione and ron together it will probably finally happen in the last book but i dont know who harry could be with there is ginny and cho chang ( i think thats how its spelled) but i dont know of them 2, but i am a huge chlark shipper and got nto an argument with someone who didnt like chloe

I'm the same way. I know I want her with Harry, but Ron is a great guy. I could never complain about that

[Summers]

Uh-oh doesnt sound like it ended on a compromise. I gave up last night, and I'm not even shipper :lol:.

Exactly. Me too. Its like whoever Buffy chooses Spike or Angel. Its no biggie to me. I love both because of who they are, and with Spike S7 redeemed him so much.

[Snake_Corda]

Yeah that's the biggest beating when you get in arguments and you don't care who wins :lol:

[smallvillefanforlife]

from the beginning i wanted hermione with harry evr since she gave him that kiss, but now how things are going with ron and hermione it sounds good to me, i almost got into troube with the moderator since then ive avoided arguments

[Snake_Corda]

best thing to do...just don't let things get to you if you can. :)

I feel the same way about Harry. Even though I ship Ron/Hermione I wouldn't mind if Harry got with Hermione. I think it's because I like all of the characters so I don't mind if they get together and that I trust JKR to do a good job writing whatever romance she does decide to do. I'm just glad that none of us on this thread get into big shipper disputes.;)

My order from amazon hasn't shipped yet. It says that it's "shipping soon".

[smallvillefanforlife]

i know i couldnt even get into an argument about harry unless someonee came on here talking about it, but i really dont even know about the love triangle between harry/hermione/ron lol

I don't know why...I picked Standard shipping as well lol. I know! Woo Hoo!! :D

[smallvillefanforlife]

how much did it cost you guys to order yours early like that

[Snake_Corda]

$17.99 plus shipping...which was around $4.00

[smallvillefanforlife]

wow thats pretty cheap

[Snake_Corda]

Yeah, it wasn't bad at all...they don't take the money out until it releases I think.

[MBCorp]

I picked Standard Shipping too.:\ It says that it will ship on July 15 and that I'll get it July 16. I'd better get it on Saturday!!!

I figured out why. They are shipping them out in stages. Your the first stage of books shipped. I'm the like the second or third stage. Its how they are able to give it to us on Saturday.

Hmm..I dont how Amazon is doing. They said on Today show if you pre-ordered by July 11th you will get it on Saturday. If its not shipped by Friday, then I would stress.

[smallvillefanforlife]

i wonder how many people are going to buy this book

Yeah, I'm sorry Alice. I have hope it will work out though :)
