Yeah i reckon it's Hagrid that dies!

You know your nan might be onto something there about Neville!

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:04
Hasn't J K alread said that Neville will not be the half blood prince???

I think it will turn out to be a new charc.

I also think (although i hate to say it cause i love him) that Ron is going to be killed off and one of the twins


Only 49 days til we find out

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:04
maybe, we know its definatley not harry (i'm sure i read that somewhere)

16th July

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:10
ahh, it has to be a new character then doesn't it, neville and ron are "pure bloods", hemionie is a muggle and we know its not harry

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:11
Hagrid is a half blood is mother was a Giant and his father was a wizard

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:13
true, thats cool prince hagrid!!

who do you think dies? i agree with you- it could be ron

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:15
I think Ron but maybe not until the seventh book and him and Hermione get together (which they will)

This book could be Remus or Mr Weasley

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:16
i always pictured harry with hermione

Meh
27-05-2005, 12:18
i always pictured harry with hermione

A lot of boys would be willing to fight harry for hermione!

Behemoth
27-05-2005, 12:19
Could the half-blood prince be Tom Riddle?

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:20
ooooohhhhh no Ron & Hermione and Harry & Ginny. :wub:

There are clues (I'm a fanatic)

Im J K's rubbish bin on her website there is a piece of paper with harry and hermione's names linked - which i think means that is was a bad idea. And the fight after the Yule Ball

Anyway i really cant wait for the book to come out :cheer:

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:20

No J K has confirmed it's not him either

how do you mean your JK's rubbish bin?

Meh
27-05-2005, 12:23
I wish harry potter had come out when i was a kid. Don't get that much time to read :mad:

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:24
No she's only a year younger than harry and ron.

On her website she has a "Rubbish Bin" that she writes in to squash rumours.

If you go on to it click on one of the chewing gum wrappers and that will take you into it.

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:25
ahhhh

mordor read them now, they are ace, my granny loves them and she is 71!

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:32
Totally agree everyone should have a go at reading them....much better than the films

Meh
27-05-2005, 12:33
ahhhh

mordor read them now, they are ace, my granny loves them and she is 71!

No, I have read them. Normally rushed and within a couple of hours (yes, i really can read that fast). But I'd like to read them slowly and let my imagination run if you know what I mean.

The damn movies spoil it as well as your imagination is forced by the characters the movies show.

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:34
I always thought that Sirius Black would look totally different.

Although Gary Olman did a brilliant job i just dont think he fitted the bill

Behemoth
27-05-2005, 12:35
Yea I agree with that, the movies do ruin the books although Professor McGonagall is exactly as I imagined her and Snape is pretty good as well.

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:35
films ruin everything.......don't get me started on bridget jones the edge of reason......grrr

has anyone read the da vinci code?

Oh yeah i have feeling he may come back in some way

Remember the mirror he gave to harry before he died?

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:40
i can never get it to load up

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:41
Oh yeah i have feeling he may come back in some way

Remember the mirror he gave to harry before he died?

yup but he tried that at the end of the book and it didn't work???

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:42
Yeah but maybe he wasn't using it right??? Maybe it was too soon after his death to work??

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:44
ahhh, so do you get inside info?

Luna
27-05-2005, 12:46
inside info??

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 12:47
because of your connection to the website?

Behemoth
27-05-2005, 13:40
I don't really think it's possible to second guess what is going to happen in Harry Potter because it's based in a magical world so anything could happen that we wouldn't even think about.

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 13:43
its fun to speculate though

27-05-2005, 13:56
How many more Harry potter Books is JK rowling going to do

Bad Wolf
27-05-2005, 13:57
there are 7 in the series and i think this one will be number 6 i think

Behemoth
27-05-2005, 14:13
its fun to speculate though Yea definatley!

Yup, this book will be number 6 of 7.

its sounds like an excellent job!! doing something you love

i cant wait for the new stuff its going to be fab, it will be such mixed blessing when 7 comes out, it will be fab to see how it all ends but sad as its the last one. boo

Behemoth
29-05-2005, 19:24
I don't think it's sad! I love reading about Harry Potter stuff!

Yeah i know what you mean. I just hope J K doesnt leave anything hanging, she has already said that the very last word in the 7th book will be scar.....been trying to think what that could mean and can only think of things that leaves the story unfinished.

Behemoth
29-05-2005, 20:30
I can't think at all of how she could end it on the word scar. It just seems to lead on to another sentence.

Luna
29-05-2005, 20:35
tell me about it....it's been driving me mad

Rain_
30-05-2005, 08:02
could be at the end of a sentence like "Harry now knew the whole story behind his scar"

yeh it must be something to do with harrys scar, it has to be...................

Luna
04-06-2005, 17:05
She also joked that HBP is going to be twice as big as OOTP cause she has a lot of loose ends to tie up...lol

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 11:45
on her website she says it is actually shorter than order of the phoenix

Luna
10-06-2005, 11:53
Yeah sorry i meant the last book will be bigger

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 11:56
i've been looking on the website getting myself all excited, when do you think ron and hermionie will decide they love each other? and will harry find love?

Luna
10-06-2005, 11:59
Well there has already been a picture realised with Harry's name carved into a tree and a love heart round it but you cant see the other name because of a shadow. I dont think it will be Cho Chang again though maybe him and ginny?

As for Ron and Hermione if Ron doesn't die in this one then probably right at the end.

What do you think?

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 12:02
it might be hermionie, breaking rons heart in the process, but probably ginny, he seemed to be over cho at the end of the last book

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:03
Do you think there will be a separate thread when the books come out for spoilers?

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:06
Nah Harry and Hermione just dont go together.......it just cant be done and J K's already given stuff away about Ron and Hermione in other books.

I also think she's under a lot of pressure to put the two of them together if you read her website there are quotes that she is fearful of the R & H manic fans lol.

With Harry it could be anyone really, Luna Maybe? He seams to have a connection with her.

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 12:12
i cant see he and luna--- she is a bit to bonkers for him, ginny i hope

i think the half blood prince will be a totally new character and fred and george will make a fortune in the joke shop giving the weasleys some cash

according to the site HBP is going to be quite reflective with harry wondering what if it had been neville and not him who became the chosen one

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:19
Is that the WB site? or another HP site?

J K has also said that harry will have his shortest stay at the Dursley this summer and it will be on a happier note. Wonder what that will be?

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 12:22
i've been looking at JK's site, i think the weasely's will rescue him, at the end of the last book it says he only has to stay there a month to keep the bond between Lilys family strong

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:25
I wonder if they'll go back to the Burrow or will Harry get Sirius' house?

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:30
"Harry and Hermione are very platonic [platonic means nonsexual] friends. But I won't answer for anyone else. Nudge, nudge, wink, wink." -- From a National Press Club Luncheon chat with JK Rowling, October 1999)


Q: Is it just me, or was something going on between Ron and Hermione during the last half of Goblet of Fire?
A: "Yes, something's "going on," but Ron doesn't realize it yet. Typical boy." -- From a BarnesandNoble.com chat with JK Rowling

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 12:30
aww poor Sirius, i hope she finds away of bringing him back in some way to help Harry, what do you think the deal with Snape is?

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:40
Yeah me too, Sirius has to come back some how, maybe he can communicated to him through the vale?

Snape...I love snape.....someone asked J K what his boggart would turn into and she wouldn't answer because it would give too much away.

I know he's been working for the two sides but i think there is a lot more going on between him and Dumbledore.

Maybe he'll get the Darks Art's job this year but i think it will more than likly be Tonks

Do you think Draco will turn good?

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 12:48
no chance, draco is evil. they might bring moody back for the lob or some random new person. Tonks would be a good choice too. can't wait to find out about snape though

Luna
10-06-2005, 12:50
I've got a feeling that Draco will go against his father don't know why though.



She also said that Something HUGE will be revealed about Lily Potter?????? :searchme:

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 12:54
not sure what that can be?????? she was a muggle she has a thick sister (she married dursely) she loved james, and she played fair (she stuck up for snape in his memory even though he was horrible to her)

Luna
10-06-2005, 13:05
Maybe something to do with the protection spell she put on Harry?

Or something to do with her job because apparently that's a bit part of the book too.

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 13:11
ok, we know it was her love and sacrifice that saved harry, not sure what her and james did though only that they were part of the original order of the phoenix

Luna
10-06-2005, 13:18
Can't seem to find any other information on her regarding her job wonder what it could have been?

Or maybe the order was her job and it has something do with that?

$sTaCeY$
10-06-2005, 13:46
what about professer snape he could be the half blood prince

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 13:48
imagine if he found out he was----all those years hating people that are not pure bloods!

Bad Wolf
10-06-2005, 14:10
just had a though i thought all voldemorts supporters were pure bloods (except himself??) so he cant be the half blood prince

Luna
10-06-2005, 14:19
No Snape cant be the HBP he's a pureblood.

I think the HBP will be a totally new person.

If you go into the rubbish bin there is a pen on the floor on a piece of paper. If you double click on it, it will break and give you more clues. Also clicking on the thing that looks like a broken egg in the same place will give you something.

The back cover for the US version of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince has been released, raising questions and giving a few clues to the plot.

The picture, by Mary GrandPre, shows Ron and Hermione, with two other Hogwarts' students, looking up at Lord Voldemort's Dark Mark.

The wizard pupils are shrouded in mist, and buildings loom through the dark, making this a very creepy picture!

Fans are now speculating what it all could mean on Harry Potter websites.

Newsround will be covering the launch from around the country on Friday night.

In that pic above it looks like Ron/Harry(either one of the two cant work out who is who), Hermione and Ginny. So where's the other person Harry or Ron???


It also looks like there is a death in hogwarts with the dark mark hanging over it? Could the person missing on the front be Ron and he has been killed by a death eater?

Tamzi

Just in case anyone out there hasn't read any of the other books and is planning on reading the half blood prince here's what you need to know so far

HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE

# Harry Potter lives in the cupboard under the stairs of his awful aunt and uncle. He receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry telling him he is a wizard and inviting him to start school.

# Harry learns that his dead parents who he thought had been killed in a car accident when he was a baby, were killed by evil wizard Lord Voldemort. His father James was a wizard and his mother Lily was a witch. Harry survived with only a scar on his head and he weakened the dark wizard.

# Harry catches the Hogwarts Express from platform 9¾, and first meets schoolmates Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, who are put with him into Gryffindor house.

# Harry learns the sport of Quidditch, makes instant enemies of Professor Snape and Draco Malfoy, and learns about the Philosopher's Stone, which is guarded by a three-headed dog.

# As Harry races to get to the stone before Voldemort uses it to restore his power, he discovers the dark wizard has taken over the body of Professor Quirrell.

# He is helped by the Mirror of Erised, which reflects the onlookers' desire, and Harry is shown the image of his parents.

# As Voldemort tries to take the stone to restore him to power he is thwarted by Harry and disappears.

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS

# Back at his aunt and uncle's house Harry meets Dobby the house elf, who warns him not to return to Hogwarts because there is danger ahead. Harry awakes from a bad dream to feel his scar burning.

# Harry is whisked back to the Weasleys' home in a flying Ford Anglia to escape the Dursleys before returning to Hogwarts.

# Harry, Ron and Hermione learn about the Chamber of Secrets, but Harry is one of the only people who can gain access to it.

# Hagrid is wrongly accused of opening the chamber, allowing a creature to terrorise the school.

# The diary of Tom Riddle, a former Hogwart's pupil, is uncovered and Harry discovers that Riddle's thoughts are magically contained in it. It is later revealed that Riddle became Voldemort.

# Harry and the others discover the secret of entering the Chamber of Secrets and he and Ron go to the rescue again.

# As Harry is about to be attacked he is saved by Dumbledore's phoenix, and by damaging the diary Voldemort is once again defeated.

HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

# Infamous convict Sirius Black escapes from Azkaban prison and is suspected of wanting to kill Harry in order to bring back Voldemort.

# Dementor guards are brought into Hogwarts to protect Harry, but he feels peculiar in their presence.

# Traitor Peter Pettigrew, who led Voldemort to Harry's parents hiding place so they could be killed, is uncovered at Hogwarts. He is the one who really committed the crime for which Black, a school friend of James Potter, was imprisoned.

# Harry learns that when his parents were killed, his mother Lily sacrificed herself to save her young son, creating a protection which Voldemort could not break.

# Black reveals he is Harry's godfather and has been trying to protect him. Pettigrew escapes before being exposed as a criminal, so Black is forced to go on the run.

HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE

# Harry's fourth year at Hogwarts sees him once again in danger as Voldemort teams up with Pettigrew to bring the evil wizard back to power, placing an insider in Hogwarts.

# Harry attends the Quidditch World Cup finals with the Weasleys, but the Dark Mark that foretells of Voldemort's henchmen, the death eaters, appears.

# Once back at Hogwarts the school hosts the dangerous Triwizard Tournament and Harry is called to take part.

# Harry once again dreams about Voldemort and awakes screaming from the scar on his forehead.

# Sirius Black writes to Harry to tell him is returning and they meet to discuss Harry's problems.

# Voldemort captures Harry and tries to kill him, but Voldemort's past victims are released, including Harry's parents, and help the young wizard defeat the enemy.

# Professor Dumbledore realises he must prepare for a battle with Voldemort, who now has restored power, as the pupils end the term at Hogwarts knowing there is more danger ahead.

HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX

# With Lord Voldemort risen to physical form once again, a secret society - known as the Order of the Phoenix - has reformed and is keeping an eye on Voldemort's followers. The Order includes the Weasley family and Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black.

# Harry goes to a hearing at the Ministry of Magic for a disciplinary hearing about using magic outside school. He is acquitted and allowed to return to school thanks to Professor Dumbledore, who speaks on his behalf.

# During his fifth year at Hogwarts School, 15-year-old Harry is in full-blown adolescence, complete with teenage rage, a schoolboy crush and a growing sense of rebellion.

# Dumbledore tells Harry to take lessons in Occlumency, the magical defence of the mind against external penetration, from Snape. During one of the lessons, Harry discovers his father was cruel and just as arrogant as Snape had always said.

# Harry and Hermione discover Hagrid has a giant tied up at his hut. He is Hagrid's brother, Grawp, and he asks them to look after Grawp if something happens to him.

# Ron is made keeper of the Gryffindor Quidditch team, but the team's triumph is not enough to take their minds off the looming Ordinary Wizarding Levels (OWL) exams.

# Harry has a vision that Sirius is in trouble and goes to the Department of Mysteries, where he thinks he will find him - but it is a trap and the Death Eaters are waiting for them to arrive.

# Sirius arrives with Lupin, Moody, Tonks, and Kingsley to save them, but Sirius is killed in the ensuing fight.

# Professor Dumbledore tells Harry about a prophecy that could apply to him or his friend Neville Longbottom. This child must battle with Voldemort and either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives.

it ashame that siruis dies it would have been nice to see Harry move away from the dursleys

he never would have been able to move away even if sirius was alive because of the bind to his Aunt

Oh yeah, in all honesty i forgot.

Could we have another thread for people to discuss what happens in the book, because i am going to read it but later on in the summer, and dont want to know the ending right now!

it should be opened here first i would have thought

Same thing happened with the azkaban website....opened there months before it was here. Have you ever went onto the WB website for harry potter? It hasn't been updated for months i would even go as far to say maybe over a year whereas my friend from over in america says there's is updated almost daily

Your welcome - dont you think Moody doesn't look quite right?

Jojo
02-08-2005, 08:35
He's not quite what I had imagined, I don't know what it is though, but no he doesn't look right....

Luna
02-08-2005, 08:43
Yeah im the same the eye looks a bit off

Jojo
02-08-2005, 08:45
Isn't it funny how directors etc seem to interpret characters in one way and us "normal" people interpret something completely different.

I don't like the way they have sort of stuck it on his face though...

Luna
02-08-2005, 08:48
Yeah i know what you mean - Like Sirius Black although gary oldman done a brilliant job i just didn't think he fitted the bill. I always imagined Sirius as younger and more dashing (think i had a bit of a crush on him while reading the books)

The Weasleys are the only people who i think the directors have it down to a t

Jojo
02-08-2005, 08:52
Although, I didn't imagine the twins with that hair!! lol.

I thought the same about Sirius - like you say, Gary Oldman was fantastic but not quite the looker I expected. I was in tears at the end of Order of the Pheonix book, but not quite so worried now when the film comes out - awful isn't it!!

I think they got the Dursleys rights aswell too.

Luna
02-08-2005, 08:55
Oh yeah the Dursley's are brilliant - but they aren't in this film neither is Mrs Weasley which i thought was a bit off. I cant imagine a HP film without Julie Walters in it

Jojo
02-08-2005, 08:58
Is she not?? It won't be the same without her, she's a fantastic actress. I would have put Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid definitely, he's great too. How do you think they are going to portray the death though at the end?? Especially as it still has to be suitable for younger people (and me!! lol)

Luna
02-08-2005, 09:01
No she wasn't asked to be in it - she said she was quite dissappionted - dont blame her.

I dont know how they are going to do it. They are trying to make the film more adult, just like the books, so i think they will make it quite hard hitting (gets the tissues out)

Jojo
02-08-2005, 09:03
I wonder what Voldemort is going to look like this time round?? He seems to be portrayed in books as good looking, and they achieved that with him as Tom Riddle, but what will be like as himself now I wonder - I still imagine him good looking though no idea what they will throw at us!!

Luna
02-08-2005, 09:05
Oh i've got a pic somewhere of him i'll have a look for you

Jojo
02-08-2005, 09:06

The younger Voldy!!

Jojo
02-08-2005, 09:13
Oh, Ralf Fiennes - not a bad choice when you think of what Tom Riddle looked like - he could definitely be an older version, and isn't too bad on the eye either...thanks

Luna
02-08-2005, 09:15
It is a really good choice sure i've got one of him done up as voldy too......somewhere lol

Jojo

The younger Voldy!!Ooooo, like this version better though!!! Would be better if he was smiling, but I don't suppose Voldemort has much to smile about really!!

Has your first impressions of each character changed now because of the films? I don't know if its just me, but each time I read about Snape, all I could see was Alan Rickman rather than my own version! lol

the person for mad eye moody does not suit the charachter which he is to play

I have always thought of Madame Maxine as a a plump sort of woman

02-08-2005, 10:54
me 2 something like proffesor sprout or proffesor mcgonagal (sp?)

Luna
02-08-2005, 10:57
Professor Sprout i think but alot taller

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:00
Yep, definitely like Prof Sprout - the bubbly sort aswell.

Some of the characters seem to be cast exactly as we imagine them and others not! Funny isn't it (in a strange way, not ha ha way)

None of them look like i thought they would.

They girl that plays Cho only lives up the road from my sister. She's had a lot of trouble with fans attacking her house and stuff all because she gets to kiss harry

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:06
Cho is as I imagined and Fleur too a bit, though aren't all of the females appearing to be attractive and the guys not so much!!

What is wrong with people - its not as if its a proper relationship thing, what with directors and everyone telling them what to do etc. People like that really annoy me :angry:

Honestly the front of is house is ruined and she is getting comments shouted out at her in the street.

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:15
I suppose because of the small mindedness of people, this is why most actors end up living in London as at least they don't have this sort of treatment aimed at them. Its a job at the end of the day :angry:

Luna
02-08-2005, 11:21
I know she won it fair and square

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:30
People seem to forget this and don't understand that kissing someone in real life and kissing someone for a movie etc are two completely different things altogether!!

This will probably sound awful, but if we're honest - Daniel isn't exactly the best looking guy in the world, yeah he's cute but if he didn't play the part of Harry, how many people would really be bothered about him - the guy who plays Draco is more attractive in my mind (I love his floppy blonde hair!!!)

Luna
02-08-2005, 11:33
Tom Felton no!!! I hate his floppy hair lol

Now Rupert Grint thats a different story :wub:

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:35
If I were younger I'd run my fingers through his golden blonde locks - lol

When I think of how much older I am than them though, I feel really old!!!

Luna
02-08-2005, 11:36
But if the actor where the same age as the charachters would be this year

Ron and Harry would be 25 and Hermione would be 26

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:38
I'd still have nearly 5 years on them though. Mind you, thats not quite such a bad thought!!! lol

Luna
02-08-2005, 11:39
Their older than me!!!!!

Anyway Rupert Grint is my man if you haven't already guessed *points to banners*

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:43
Lucky you - how old do I feel now!!! I suppose I should be happy that I am still in my twenties albeit my last year of them!!

I prefer Rupert to Daniel though - Daniel looks weird without his Harry glasses on!!

Luna
02-08-2005, 11:44
Yeah theres something about his eyebrows when his glasses aren't hiding them

Jojo
02-08-2005, 11:46
lol yep, hes definitely not quite so cute then!!

Luna
