Yes, Tonks and Lupin. Perfect. I am so happy I'm making a poster to put on my door right now.

They compared him to Karkaroff, or however the heck you spell Krum's teacher's name. Very good theories. I never thought of it being hidden in the house. Wierd. . .

I've been thinking, and either it's Regulus, or perhaps, either Mr. Borgin or Mr. Burke took it so that they could sell it. It's ridiculously valuable, and Voldemort did work for Borgin and Burke at some point in time. Just a theory.

Yeah, they discuss Regulus again later, in book 6. They compare him to someone else who was a defected Death Eater, and point out that he only lasted two days before Voldemort got to him.
I suppose that would be enough time to swipe the amulet...
In which case, it could be hidden in Sirius's old house, that Harry now owns. I'm gonna go back and look through the descriptions of all the trinkets that they found when they were cleaning out the house in book 5 and again the trinkets that Mundungus was selling in book 6 when I get a chance... (translation, when I get very very bored)

Snape isn't evil. He really isn't. I've worked it out and everything. I think that R.A.B is Regulus Black. All my ships except for Luna/Colin are either fulfilled or have a TON more cannon. I'm happy. But Dumbledore dying is really sad. You see, Dumbledore and Snape had previously worked out that Snape would kill Dumbledore, because Snape had made the vow. He had to. That's what Dumbledore was yelling at Snape for. Making the vow. Draco's so turning good. What I think will happen is he'll sacrifice himself at the last moment, and turn good.

Oh, there certainly is tragedy, but the book is still full of wit and funny moments, Celtic. And you have to remember, they ARE fighting a war, of sorts. I'm actually surprised that more people didn't die (though I'm glad).
There were so many great lines that made me actually laugh out loud. Like Harry's "There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor" or Lupin's lines to Harry asking him if Half-Blood Prince is a title he was thinking to adopt and wasn't "the Chosen One" good enough? quote: Wasn't Susan Bones' mother killed? Or was that Hannah Abbot's?
It was Hannah's, I think. Susan lost her aunt, Amelia Bones.

Oh god, I really don't want to read this book now... It seems like J.K. Rowling has decided tragedy is the best way to make books interesting. What happened to the funny, witty, thrilling Harry Potter? The first books were excellent and no one died. Tragedy is a necessity in all books, but damn, you don't need to over-use that tactic.

Spoiler warning Ok I feel that RAB is regulus black almost positively. We know he knew Voldemort (which it is said that the note sounded like the person knew Voldemort HBP). He was killed by Voldemort or his followers OOTP. The only characters mentioned very much on either side with the b last name are blacks and bones but the bones would not know voldemort. Here is some comfort. "to the well organized mind death is just the next great adventure" dumbledore PS (I don't recognize the SS because I am Canadian). I am really upset about the death but mostly because it leaves harry really alone (except for ron and Hermoine) It is really interesting that they are not going back to school. I can't wait to read about the wedding and going to Godric's Hollow. Don't despare of feeling to old for the books. I am 19 and only started reading when the fifth book came out.
They call this war a cloud over the land but they made the weather then they stand in the rain and say s*** it's rainin.

quote: Sirius jabbed a finger at the very bottom of the tree, at the name REGULUS BLACK. A date of death (some fifteen years previously) followed the date of birth.
"He was younger than me," said Sirius, "and a much better son, as I was constantly reminded."
"but he died," said Harry.
"Yeah," said Sirius. "Stupid idiot. . . he joined the Death Eaters."
... (Long two paragraphs of random discussion)
"Was he killed by an auror?" Harry asked tentatively.
"Oh no," said Sirius. "No, he was murdered by Voldemort in person. Or on Voldemort's orders, more likely, I doubt Regulus was ever importan ebough to be killed by Voldemort in person. From what I found out after he died, he got in so far, then panicked about what he was being asked to do and tried to back out. Well, you don't just hand in your resignation to Voldemort. It's a lifetime of service or death."
So you're saying he stole the horcrux before he died? Why would he do that? Well, I suppose its possible. Very possible. . . Oh damn, it just clicked. And now I wrote all this up. Regulus was good! That's why he was killed! Yay! Alright, I get it now. . . *smacks herself over the head with OotP and HBP* Stupid, Greenleaf. . . *mumble mumble*

I think JK ROWLING left a lot of wholes in this book. IDK it just seemed to me really different than the last 5. PLus the romance between Hermione and ROn was reallly weird..w/e happened to KRUM?? idk im reading a third time to make sure im getting everything. and wasn't regulus supposed to be really stupid or something? idk ALSO i think it was that JK Rowling is the richest person in Britian besides the QUEEN. ALSO i was sooooooo surprised Snape killed Dumbledore but then again he had to have unless he wanted to die himself...wat a slytherin. i never thought snape would be that important a character...hmmm....

quote: Regulus is dead! Remember, Voldemort killed him after he deserted or something like that. Unless there's something we don't know about
But doesn't the note say something like "...by the time you read this, I'll be dead..."?

quote: Think about how much she must make off of each book she prints...
She makes more money than the Queen of England. Well, now that I know of Dumbledore's death, I won't cry like I did when Sirius died.

quote: Harry is going to have to kill a lot of people in Book 7. I don't see how Rowlings can fit it in one book.
That is why I am convinced that she will end up writing more than one more... Think about how much she must make off of each book she prints...

quote: Sirius Black's brother. I am almost positive.
That is the first person I thought of. Regulus A. Black...does his middle name start with an 'A'? I don't think that we even know his middle name, so it's entirely possible.
And I agree that it's important that Malfoy couldn't bring himself to Dumbledore. He hesitated because of what Voldemort would do to his family if he didn't do it.

quote: For me, seeing how deeply Narcissa cared for her son was another such factor.
I agree totally. Also, I think it was important that Malfoy couldn't kill Dumbledore. I wonder if he will switch sides or something. I was surprised about Snape. Harry is going to have to kill a lot of people in Book 7. I don't see how Rowlings can fit it in one book.

quote: Who do you think RAB is? I can't figure it out. Hmm.
Sirius Black's brother. I am almost positive. Maybe Rowlings will pull another "half-blood Prince" and trick us entirely. Who knows?
