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.

Justin, are you forgetting the end of the last book? Who was Voldemort chasing to kill?

Oh that's right, it was Harry.

And Harry's not an accidental Horcrux. Obviously, Voldemort chooses them. Something special has to be done to make one. Just killing someone doesn't suddenly make one, or he would have millions. He has trophies from special murders that he made into Horcruxes, intentionally making seven. You would think he would want all seven before he went to kill Lilly and James, who he knew were quite powerful.

And again, Voldemort left Ginny to die in the Chamber of Secrets. Obviously she's not a Horcrux.

I still think it could be James or Lilly's bodies. No one's addressed that little theory of mine yet, if you scroll up......I had questions at the bottom of my first post in here..anyone wanna read them?

Perhaps...James or Lily's dead body is a horcrux? I mean, he used trophies from his murders as horcruxes...perhaps he just used one of their bodies?...I mean, as we all would assume, of course Harry would want to visit his parents' graves at some point. But why would she make it a point to include that he wanted to? You never know..I mean, as Dumbledore said, it would be foolish to make a horcrux a living thing (another reason Harry and Ginny are not horcruxes, he already has one living thing; why risk another?) so why not just use the dead bodies?

How was Dumbledore's hand burned?

Er, and did anyone catch that Dumbledore said that Snape had caught half of Trelwaney's prophecy, and that's what Voldemort knows?

Oh, and Nicki, I wanna call you and James. Can I now?
