...and i'm willing to venture a guess that the half blood prince is Draco Malfoy. any other opinions on this one?
The whole point of the Malfoys is that they're snobby purebloods. Pureblood Lucius Malfoy married pureblood Narcissa Black and had Draco. So he couldn't really be the Half-Blood Prince, could he?
I'm guessing the Half-Blood Prince will be a character we haven't seen yet (or at least haven't seen much of).
One more thought: It could be Hagrid. He's a half-blooded giant.

Hagrid is my first thought as well, but does Hermoine have a brother? Plus I'm sure there are plenty of mudbloods we don't know of.

Was "Harry Potter and 213 pages I could have just as easily left out" a close second?
God, no kidding. I've read all of the Harry Potter books and enjoyed them, but I liked them more when I could pick them up and finish them in one day. They were more fun that way. The last one took me a day and a half, left me with a headache and bored me to tears. 
I don't understand why they have to keep getting longer and longer. It's great that she's gotten kids interested in reading, but it makes me wonder how many kids lost interest when GOF came out.

is anyone else utterly sick of the bullying bespectacled wizard?
I think I have some kind of affliction that makes me sick of things that everyone talks about relentlessly. I don't even have to try, it comes in automatically. Sometimes I used to be ok about these things or even like them. Maybe they should name a phobia after me/that
Fortunately, it's not how much hype/exposure/talk something gets that makes me sick of it, it's the amount of exposure I have to that talk. For instance, the LOTR is fine because my friends don't talk about it. Harry Potter is not because everyone I know can't shut up about it 
Awkwardly enough, some things seem immune to this weird pattern; Ie. Irak. They talk and talk about it, and it doesn't bother me that they do, and I also still find it interesting. Maybe serious things aren't affected.
... or maybe I'm just crazy

But c'mon, wouldn't Draco as a mudblood be the ironic plot-twist we've all been waiting for?
I bet there'll be a whole chapter devoted to Narcissa's steamy, illicit, one-night affair with Harry's uncle or something 
Anyway, I'll be reading it when it comes out, naysayers or no.

I think it's funny how even children's books can get slighted for becoming too comercial by the hipsters...

Whoa. Some strong words here for a thread about a children's book. Calm down kids.
Different strokes for different folks.
I've never gotten into Harry Potter, myself. But I have friends that say I should try reading the books, as they think I would like them a lot.
