As far as i know know offical release date has been announced but i have heard it through rumor that it should be out prior to the releas of harry potter and the goblet of fire in november of 2005 so sometime next year....I heard it is quite a bit longer than order of the phoenix over 1500 pages...but am not sure how reliable this is

This is a no-brainer. It is Dudley. Aunt Petunia has magical blood. Uncle Vernon does not. There was just a glimpse of Petunia's relationship with Lily in the last book -- enough to suggest strongly that her role will increase in the future.
Originally posted by GoRedSoxDudley can't be the Half-Blood Prince because Aunt petunia's parents were both muggles. Lily was a witch in the same way that Hermione is. Dudley is a muggle.

Originally posted by Ghanima Atreidespossible, but not much fun. if it isn't volomort or HP, it could still be tom riddle, he's sort of a seperate entity. yes, one of him died, but there could be more than one of him, and we know from book three that there is time travle, so the cornology could get very nasty.
I don't think so, because Firenze was half breed, while being a pure blooded centaur.
Has anyone thought that this Half Blood Prince could be a whole new character alltogether?
