i think the half half blood prince could be Gilderoy Lockhart could be the half blood prince just reading the name orgins the 'roy' part of Gildroy means regal one or king. JK is very clever (or not so clever for anyone who knows latin and probably can see all plot points before they finish the book) in hideing important clues in every characters name pretty much expect the lead ones i could be wrong but no one else seems to of made this connection. Plus why introduce him in OoTP if he had no further part to play!

Minielin,
I concur with your statements. As to GL - think "all that glitters is not gold" and you have the measure of the man, alas, in his entirety! He had a purely perfunctory role as you note in OotP.

I think the half blood prince is a new character, because the titles of the books tend to introduce new ideas. Look-
Philosopher's Stone- not mentioned before, since there were no previous books. Chamber of Secrets- wasn't mentioned before the book came out. Prisoner of Azkaban- not only did we have no idea who the prisoner was, it turned out to be someone we hadn't seen yet. (He was mentioned briefly in PS, but I think he was still a new character.) Goblet of Fire- again, the Goblet wasn't mentioned before the book itself came out. Order of the Phoenix- It hadn't been mentioned before- Dumbledore simply referred to 'the old crowd.' So, since none of the other title elements was known before the book was published, I don't think we have yet met the Half-Blood Prince.

does anyone know the exact date when its coming out??
what if the half-blood prince is harry? although that wouldn't make much sense because its harry potter and the half-blood prince. which seems to suggest they are two different entities.

And it's not Harry. Jo said so. She also said it's not Voldie or Tom Riddle, who some people consider to be different people. And there are rumors going around that she said that Hagrid isn't either, but it hasn't been confirmed.

I think J.K is missleading all of her readers. (purposfully and properly mind you.) I think that the book will start out with a discovery that there is a half blood prince and throught the book the identity will be searched out. After a while they will learn they were mistaken, its nto a half blood prince, its a half blood princess... Hermoine(SP?) She is a "mug blood"(or is she) and yet she is the greatest witch of her time. Thats the story I am going with. Malfoy is to obvious after harry and voldy.

that is a very convoluted idea HotD, so convolted, it just might work... No but seriously, the way that J.K. works, anything is possible

I disagree, doesn't make sense it's Hermione. First, it is 'Prince', so unless they think there's a Prince in the beginning, it can't be Hermione. Second - I agree with Elf Girl, a few posts before - it most likely someone we haven't met yet, and there's no way to know who it is. Because he wasn't mentioned (as all the other themes in the Harry Potter series till now).

Yes, "Prince" does imply dude. Hermione is an interesting theory, but she's not half-blooded in anything. Neither is Malfoy.
Now that someone has said it, I think it most likely is Hagrid - a half-giant. A new character is very possible too.
