What is Hermione has a secret brother and comes to Hogwarts

My question now is WHO IS THE HALF BLOOD KING?!

So many questions, so little answers....

My biggest question is WHEN IS THE BOOK COMING OUT?!?!?! (Hey cool, the little message that used to pop up saying not to type in capital letters isn't there.... )

does it really matter what the title is? i mean some aply to story but 'The Half-Blood Prince' is just a mud-blood(i think thats the right word) royal dude, not much information ya know

The first thing I thought of, was Voldemort, for the HBP. But then of course, I realized that's sort of weird. So I jumped onto Slytherin instead. Malfoy seems really weird..

I know! I know!!!
Shall I tell?

Neville Longbottom... think about it.

Well, JK said on her site that the HBP is not Harry or Voldemort.

I highly doubt it, because (Spoiler for all who haven't read the 5th book) when Harry's talking to Voldemort at the end of the OotP, Dumbledore says that Voldemort chose the half-blood, like himself, instead of the pure-blood Neville.

I, personally, think it might be Dumbledore.

Maybe Voldemort's son...? If it's possible to have one. It makes sense, considering Voldemort considers himself somthing like the king.

I doubt it.

I just recently found a Harry Potter theory community on livejournal, http://www.livejournal.com/community/unplottables/ . You could always check there for any theories on the Half Blood Prince.

(Dunno if the site has any language. Doubt it.)

My next question: Prince of what exactly? Prince of the half bloods or a half blood prince of England or the Netherworld or something like that I'm leaning toward the latter.

Prince of the half bloods...Like Voldemort is the Prince of Darkness. Perhaps it's someone to counter him?

After looking through the unplottables community, I found this nice theory saying Tom Riddle could be the Half Blood Prince. It actually seems rather probable.

Tom Riddle and Voldemort could be considered different beings. Tom Riddle died, and Voldemort was born. Tom Riddle's mother was a witch, and his father a muggle, making him Half Blooded. It was also the rejected title for Chamber of Secrets, where Tom Riddle is shown to be the Heir of Slytherin. JK Rowling wouldn't make it that suttle by making the title "Half Blood Heir". We're moving deeper into the series, and finding out more and more.

There's a big chance it might be Tom Riddle, in fact I'm nearly 97% sure.

But there's also Dean Thomas. Remember Rowling was all, "The title had a lot to do with the second book" ?. On the Extra stuff pages it said that she took out his background that was originally to be in the CoS.

Dean's supposed to be purely mudblood, living with a mother and a stepfather. That means his mother and stepfather are both muggle. Father walked out when very young, and died because of refusing to join Death Eater ranks.

Well that just screams it out doesn't it? Obviously his father is a Wizard and is dead. So Dean Thomas would count as a halfblood wouldn't he?

...I don't know.

We don't really know enough about Dean Thomas to make assumptions, but we don't know enough about him NOT to.

He has a chance to be some sort of half blooded prince, but he didn't have much of a role in CoS from what I remember. (Sorry, my mind's filled with cobwebs.) We might find out more on him, but probably not enough vital info to make him such a major character. But you never know...
