News Times Live has a short
piece about a program sponsored by the Bethel Public Library that had five girls and one boy between the ages of 10 and 13 taking part in a program discussing things that could happen in the sixth novel,
Harry Potter and the half-Blood Prince.
Quote:
Angelica Licari, 12, doesn't think Dean Thomas is a viable candidate (for the HBP).
"I don't think he's a major enough character unless she (Rowling) brought him out more," Angelica said.
Quote:
Even though Hermione would not fit the bill of "prince" because of her sex, some of the youngsters still thought she might be the character in the title.
Quote:
Brian Michalka, 10, thought Spinners End might refer "to the big, blind spider" that appeared in previous books. Or, he said, it may refer to "the sweaters that Mrs. Weasley is always making."
I think the jumpers are knitted rather than spun on a wheel.
The article also claims book 6 will show us more information about Harry's grandparents and what his parents did. It also says that one of Harry's classmates will become a teacher in one of the last two novels.
