Who is the Half-Blood Prince? Easy. I figured that out in the first quarter of the book.

I think this is definitely the best Harry Potter book yet. Up till now, Goblet Of Fire has been my favorite, and this one is as good, if not better - funny, witty, light-hearted even while dealing with the deadly issues of school, war, and teenagers in love.

Was the locket really destroyed, or is it still out there? Who is R.A.B.? (My guess is Regellus Black) Was that really McGonagall talking of closing Hogwarts?

And when are Ron and Hermione ever going to come to their senses and get together?? What happened to Dumbledore? - that couldn't have been real, it just couldn't. It was too easy, too simple - Dumbledore had to've known, figured out some double-trick - something, something, isn't what it seems. It can't be...
Ms. Rowling, you better write that next book fast! Please, please, I don't think I can wait another two and a half years.
