A half-muggle, half-witch whose identity as a prince would be a surprise? Piece of cake: Neville Longbottom.
I thought he had a line like that in the first movie, but come to think of it, it may have been Finnegan. I have to go back to the first book when I have the inclination to see who really does speak that line.
It is the authors official website, it is really clever, set up to look like her desk...you click on different objects to find out a lot of fascinating information....... the rumors are contained in a folded tabloid ...clicking on the coffee mug will bring up extras for characters and sub plots.....a diary, a planner, a news paper ...
It is the only *official* hp web site that has her sanction.
There is a lot of extra info on the characters...dean thomas, crookshanks, gilderoy, the weasly family, theodor knott.... etc....characters she had to edit their subplots due to editors....etc.
She dispels rumors answeres most commonly asked questions...it has her biograghy ...etc. It is a real hoot.
I guess I`m gonna re read the second book to try to catch that clue....she also states that many hidden clues of where the story will eventually go....is contained in book two.
I've got a theory about that book 2 clue, and everything I've read bears it out, and it's REALLLLY huge.
There's 7 bits of Potterania hidden on that site, and if you find them, you get things added to your scrapbook. I'll give you a hint as to how to find one of them - in the "Extra Stuff" page, that eraser isn't an eraser - it's a Revealer.

There are literally HUNDREDS of pages of discussion on this topic at
http://newclues.mugglenet.com/viewforum.ph...668638471898856
I think it will be a new character, personally.

I'm operating under the assumptions that the HBP:
A)will unite the Hogwarts Houses OR the wizarding world races (or BOTH)
B)has already appeared
C)is not a teacher or OotP member or other adult
D)is a male
E) has no brothers (otherwise there would be 'princes')
Now, "half-blood" in HP has been used to refer to ALL wizards who are not
"pureblood" (from a long line of wizards like Draco Malfoy or Ron Weasley)
or "mudblood" (first generation wizard, like Hermione Granger)
However, JKR MIGHT throw us a curveball and make this a "half-blood" of some
other kind, as in "of 2 Bloodlines", like a descendant of Godric Gryffindor
and Helga Hufflepuff or something.
We KNOW that this was one working title for BOOK 2.
JKR decided not to use the subplot there because it gave too much away,
too soon.
She also said that the moved subplot's only connection to the actual Book 2
is a "discovery Harry makes in Book 2."
Me, I eliminate all "1/2 wizard, 1/2 giants" based on giant society.
In Book 5, we see they don't like wizards, don't have royal bloodlines,
and only respect physical strength. All of this means a 1/2 giant would be
ignored as a weakling.
He might be 1/2 Muggle (normal human), 1/2 elf, 1/2 goblin, 1/2 merfolk,
1/2 centaur. If he is one of those, he would bring "his people" to the
new war. (I'm hoping he brings the goblins.)
The most standard possibility is Seamus Finnegan, who has been around
since Book One, but I have a much stranger candidate who's been around since
Book 1.
Who do you think he is, or WHAT do you think he is, and WHY?
Please stop discussing this as soon as the new book is out.

No duh. I've been discussing it since the title was released.
I want to see what the people HERE think. Most discussion groups I've been in on this are
teenagers, and there's almost no teenagers here.
Well, go out on a limb-take a wild guess. What would you guess is true about him?

Ah. Then I'll agree with Finnegan.

In the second book, the people who are petrified are all half-bloods (except Hermione, who I believe is pure Muggle born).
So it could easily be...
Colin Creevey!

Sorry to keep raining on your parade, Raf, but I'm pretty sure Colin Creevey is muggle born!

Neville Longbottom has a family tree of wizards. If he's the HBP, it's because of a
meaning of the term that does NOT depend on "wizard vs Muggle" percentages.
So, technically unlikely, but possible.
Arguments can be made FOR or AGAINST him being the candidate.
Colin Creevey and Dennis Creevey are brothers, and, as such, I consider them cancelling
each other out (it's not 'Half-Blood PrinceS'.)

JKR's website is mostly accessed also from the "text only" version, which is easy to
link to, and a fast loader.

Steve!,
pm me if you don't want to reveal your suspicions. I've got a bunch myself.
I also have a partial answer to JKR's question. She said the real question about
that night in Godric's Hollow is not "why did Harry survive?" but
"Why did Voldemort survive?"
My personal hint is the word "ecdysis" and that's all I'm saying on an open thread.
:D-->

Dudley was considered a suspect.
Actually, JKR commented on a character developing magic at a later age, and a lot of
people thought it was Dudley, but JKR stomped that flat.
She pretty much confirmed he's "muggle Dudley". I can't find the link for that at
this moment.

Well, for some reason Aunt Petunia knows a lot more about the wizard world than she's been letting on. What that means is...
well, I don't know what that means.

Well,
we know it was PETUNIA'S agreement that sealed Harry's protection at the Dursley
household.
Frankly, I saw it to HER advantage. So long as Harry visits there once a year,
he's protected from Voldy while he's there-they get protection 12 months out of the
year.
Dumbledore has communicated with both Dursleys-like when they found out about the
Ford Anglia incident. However, his last communication TO PETUNIA was what he
meant when he sent the Howler that said "Remember my last."
THAT was what she responded to when she CHANGED HER MIND and said Harry could stay.
(Confirmed on JKR's site.)
We know Petunia sounded DISGUSTED about everything to do with the Wizarding World
from EVERY reference to James and Lily, and she exaggerated about Lily going around
"turning teacups into rats". We know she didn't have a knowing attitude about
"Platform 9 3/4". We know Petunia knew that Dementors guard Azkaban, the wizard's
prison. (She knows what a Dementor is, and Azkaban is.)
What DOES it mean?
I don't know either.
I can make wild guesses.
Thankfully, now she's in the home stretch, JKR has confirmed the last 2 books are
essentially one book in two parts, and we'll start getting ANSWERS rather than
MORE QUESTIONS.
