Half-Blood Prince Discussion, Spoilers Options

[jordanriane]

Since Anna mentioned a new topic for discussion of the book, I figured I'd just create the new topic, that way people can talk about the book here, instead of in the other thread, that people can use who haven't finished/read the book yet.

and i also know who  RAB is.

Regulus Black, the brother of sirius black, who was murdered by the dark lord ages ago.

How were you able to figure that it was him?



The only real problem I had with this book, was the first chapter, with the Minister. I don't really see that it was too relevent, other then telling us that the muggle world saw these deaths are regular murders (aside from trying to figure out how someone died when they were alone and locked up) and whatnot.. But it was just really irrelevent, and ticked me off that it had really little meaning with the rest of the book.

Maybe it'll tie in for book 7, hopefully.

whoever's taken the locket, most likely is a death eater. just an interesting thing to point out, it is addressed, "to the dark lord".

as harry rudely points out to snape in the 5th book, "why do you call voldemort the dark lord, i've only ever heard Death Eaters call him that-"

so that does back up the regulus black theory, although i don't think regulus would have the nerve/brains to do it. maybe it's just some new character.

as for the 6th horcrux, dumbledore and harry thought that it may be a posession of one of the four founding people of hogwarts (e.g. the cup of hufflepuff, necklace of slytherin) i highly doubt that it would be harry, seeing as how voldemort would not want to destroy part of his soul, cause, well, that would suck ass now wouldn't it. and besides, voldemort toys with harry because he finds it amusing to think that anyone could believe to match up to his level of power, especially a young boy. as dumbledore has said, it is one of his flaws to underestimate people based on age. so he just fools around with harry and laughs like a weirdo.

anywho, in the order of the phoenix, the locket wasn't a little golden locket on a necklace that could be worn. it was a heavy locket, and kind of contradicts the idea of a necklace. besides, the locket was barely mentioned, so i don't think it would be the right horcrux. and it wouldn't be that easy.

whatever.
