15 days...and a HP poll... (NP and possibly obnoxious, but I'll take my chances!) - Page 4

It has been so long since I read the other one's--I voted Malfoy but I'm thinking Hagrid is a possibility too

My ds would like me to ask a question of all you H.P. fans.

He thinks the Half Blood Prince is Dudley Dursley. I disagreed because Dudley is not a half-blood. Ds thinks Petunia (Dudley's mom and Lily's sister) is actually a wizard and either hides it or doesn't actually know yet. Although I've read all of the books, I can't remember facts about Lily & Petunia's parents. Can anyone who is more of an expert on HP comment on this?

The 5th book touches on this. Lily was muggle born, like Hermione. That would mean Uncle Vernon would have to be from magic parents, but he does not seem to have any knowledge other than what his wife passes on to him. Based on how negatively Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon react to anything magic, I'm doubtful it is Dudley. Tho that is an interesting thought!

How about Nearly Headless Nick? He's featured quite a bit in Book 2, and we still haven't found why somebody tried to take his head off....

Rowling has something special in mind for him, mark my words.

Neville is a pureblood as well. Dumbledore says so at the end the last book when he tells harry about the prophecy and how voldemort had to choose which boy to attack, and chose the one that was a half blood like him, and not the one who was a pureblood.

Wow....NEVER even crossed my mind but you're right, in book 2 he's featured a lot. That is definitely something to consider.

I guess a new character - but really have no clue! I haven't read any of the books - just watched the movies.

I enjoy them - and the kids like them, too. We're anxiously awaiting the new movie to come out!
