We're still not clear on if Half-Blood=part Muggle.
My money's on Hagrid. He's half-giant, after all, so that would fit the description rather nicely.
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Always Anti-fascist!
It's not going to be giant, like the last one, right? Because I think my arms got more of a workout than my brain on it. And if it's longer? Wizard's "Infinite Jest"

It's shorter than either of the last two, from what I hear. I hope that JKR insisted on the extra time so she could edit her stuff heavily. The last book could have used a heavy trim, especially during all of the Whiny!Harry bits.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone should have edited in a plot.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
I did read somewhere (fanfic, perhaps?) that Harry's behavior in OotP was textbook PTSD, even though it got annoying to read. Makes sense after the events of the Third Task in GoF (btw, I'm really excited to see how they do the three tasks in the movie version!).

If I only had a brain...
Yeah, well, your typical fictional character spends much less time sleeping and defecating than your typical real human, and I for one am good with that. Too much realism: boring.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm honestly trying to remember what exactly happened in OotP other than Sirius cacking it. The whole Umbridge thing was so unpleasant that I've blocked most of it out of my consciousness.

You mean my favourite (character version, not season)?

Please, god, no.
Or, only if being "half-blood prince" means Hagrid shuts up and goes away for the rest of the series. That would be a happy ending as far as I'm concerned.
