 Hagrid possibly not the Half-Blood Prince? - fans claim JK said it's not him Summary:
JK Rowling ruled out Hagrid as a possible Half-Blood Prince candidate at the Edinburgh book reading in August. Article: Quote: Two separate MuggleNet readers have written in to say that JK Rowling ruled out Hagrid as a possible Half-Blood Prince candidate at the Edinburgh book reading last August. She revealed this to both readers independently after being asked in the book tent. "Note that we cannot say with 100% accuracy this is true, but both readers had UK-based IP addresses and solid alibis..." Consider this a good rumor, but not yet a fact. Update: It has been confirmed that at least one of these readers WAS actually at the event. Mugglenet | |

Oh even if this hasnt been confirmed, I never thought it was Hagrid so well...
I still dont know who the HBP is but...a new character or an "old" one...hmm my guess is as good as yours...  |

She also said she took 'all' traces of HBP from COS book.... so there are no clues to be found.
I, personally, never thought Hagrid was a possiblity.

It couldn't have been Hagrid because she said that the clues are from book 2 and the stuff about Hagrid is in book 4.

The reason that noone thinks it's Harry is because it's a fact stated about Book 6 that Harry Potter nor Voldemort are the Half-Blood Prince. As for me, I think it's Seamus Finnigan. In the movie, what was the point of Seamus saying that he's half and half, that his dad's a Muggle and his mom's a witch? Seamus Finnigan is definately a possiblity for me.

JK has confirmed for herself that it's not Harry, Voldemort or Tom Riddle.
And TLC have managed to confirm that one of the readers who says they were there and were told this by JK, WAS actually at the event. So, it is even more plausible that this rumor may be true. | |

Not really because, think about it. The title would then, in essence, mean: "Harry Potter and the Harry Potter". The book cant possibly hold Harry in the title twice and make sense.

I never thought it would be Lupin or Hagrid because being a 'half-breed' isn't the same as being a 'half-blood'. There is a CBBC Newsround interview where Rowling states Lupin is a half-blood. She doesn't refer to him as a half-bred. Lupin is both a half-blood and a half-breed. Remember he was fully human until bitten as a child. He could still be the half-blood prince. In fact the interview in question is one she gave as Chamber of Secrets was being released as a movie. Quote: Quote: I always thought that she said it was someone from the chamber of secrets. Thats why i always thought it was colin creevy Quote: in a way i thought that it wouldn't be Hagrid and yet most of me thinks it's Dean but you never know... Dean Thomas and Colin Creevy are both muggle-borns just like Hermoine. Remember Colin was pertified by the Basilisk in CoS. That would rule them both out as the Half-Blood Prince. | |

JK Rowling has never lied to us about "hints" and she has never back tracked on something she told us is not true. Why would you think she is lying now? | |

Actually Dean is half. But what cancels him out is the fact JK gave him backstory but said she took it away because she did not want to take the spotlight away from the Harry/Neville storyline which was more important. Hence, it's not Dean.

Fair point...but has JKR actually stated that the HBP is actually a half-blood???...although I would agree that was most likely  | |

Like Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves.

I never thought that it was going to be Hagrid anyway. We'll never know who it is until we actually read the book. But until that i think that J.K still has a few more clues up her sleeve for us. We might find out some things because of that but truthfully i dont think that she would give something that important away, i mean it would be like just telling us the plot of the story. | |

I think it will be a character we already know of, but doesn't yet have much importance. Or possibly someone new. I never thought it would be Lupin or Hagrid because being a 'half-breed' isn't the same as being a 'half-blood'. [/b][/quote]
exactly!

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.

"Dean is from what he always thought was a pure muggle background.....but nobody has ever discovered the truth: that Dean's father, who had never told his wife what he was because he wanted to protect her, got himself killed by Death Eaters when he refused to join them."

it could possibly be seamus...or some new character, if there is one....Good gracious! That just reminds me. I'll have to tick in those clues during my spare time (hw & school-free time).

Who thinks that Hagrid has something IMPORTANT to do with the Half Blood Prince?

I don't think it'll be a new character, because JKR doesn't have that much time to introduce a new character she's almost at the end of the serires.
personally I think its someone close to harry"

Quote: I don't think it'll be a new character, because JKR doesn't have that much time to introduce a new character she's almost at the end of the serires. i agree, and didnt she say they had importance in CoS? or were mentioned, at least.
i thought it couldve been hagrid, but it could still be anyone. it all depends on what JKR is calling "half blood" but i think its gonna be someone quite unlikely... someone who has more than what reaches the eye.
