Default ***OFFICIAL***Spoilers of Half-Blood Prince Thread

I just finished the book!! I have done nothing but read for the past 5 hours. If you want to spoil it, post in this thread. I started this after I saw that Eihli had posted a MAJOR Spoiler link in the "I got Harry Potter Book 6 Thread".

PLEASE Post all your spoilers here, and HERE ONLY!!!


Thanks,
Steve

Do you know this or are you just speculating?

Who the [censored] is RAB? A friend of mine suggests Amelia Bones, where Amelia is her middle name.

The most likely candidate is Sirius' brother- Regulus Black (a former Death Eater). I don't believe we have ever been given a middle name or initial.

I've discussed that with a few people and we pretty much rejected it because of lack of evidence that he would ever do this. He was meant to be weak and he came from a long line of Dark wizards and didn't show any signs of rejecting them (he was in Slytherin). He did leave the Death Eaters (ostensibly due to being scared) but Sirius said that he wasn't important and there's no reason he would have known about horcruxes, given how difficult it was for Dumbledore to find out about them. Also, he was killed only days after leaving the Death Eaters so it would have been very difficult for him to have time to do this unless he was doing it while being a Death Eater, but Voldemort would have found out, given that he is such a skilled Leglimens. Plus, Regulus would have had to get past all of Voldemort's enchantments and there's no sign he had the skill to do so, even Dumbledore could only do it with Harry and even then he was very ill - who was Regulus' accomplice?

I don't think it was Regulus.

The only thing is, the message is addressed "Dark Lord", which strongly supports the idea that whoever wrote it was a Death Eater at one point. But does it rule out all the other stuff which suggests it's not Regulus?

Dynasty, someone who is American told me to look at page 108 of Order of Phoenix, about halfway down, but as I have the UK version, I don't know what they're referring to. Any chance you could look?

Has everyone forgot when Dumbledore was in his office in OotP that he was talking with the pictures of the Past Headmasters?

I feel that Dumbledore dying was part of something bigger, and I feel that it will be explained to Harry either by a portrait of Dumbledore, or a bigger stretch would be in the Mirror of Erised.

But we can assume that these portraits were made at the end of their headship, we don't know whether a portrait of Dumbledore exists.

when Harry goes back to Dumbledore's office with McGonagall after he dies a portrait of Dumbledore is hanging over the desk (626)

I definitely agree that Dumbledore will remain a big character in book 7 speaking to Harry from a portrait is a good possibility.

OK Dynasty, this was gonna be my question: Wouldn't AD be able to function as a consiglieri from his portrait.

So many deep thinkers in here....
