Half-Blood Prince Discussion, Spoilers Options

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.

I'm a bit interested in Draco's character. I wasn't surprised he became a Death Eater at such a young age, but I don't think he has it in him. He tried to kill Dumbledore to save his family but he just didn't have it in him to kill him. The only reason he agreed to was probably because he LOVED his family.. and isn't LOVE an important thing that Voldemort doesn't have? and probably most of the other Death Eaters as well. I have a feeling that Draco won't be living a very long life.

edit: About Ginny being a possible Horcrux.. I really think she is one! Especially with what Tom was explaining to Harry about pouring their souls into each other and etc.. I think that theory is much better than Harry himself being a Horcrux.
