Hi,
A cursory examination of the Christmas Riddles on JKR's site reveal
this fact:
Three of the riddles have the answers which together form the name
of the book.
The other three riddles have references to the trio.
Taking the second groups first. All of them are just basic
straightforward questions. Nothing much of riddles there. But two of
the three questions can be very important in the next book. Consider
Bristol. This will become important if the next book contains
description of what happened on that fateful night when Voldie was
vanquished. And Hermione's otter can come in handy if she is attacked
by a dementor. A distinct possiblity. I can't figure out how corned
beef sandwich will be helpful but maybe it suggests that Ron won't
have much to do in the next book just as in book 5.
As for the former set of riddles. These are poems but the most
intriguing of them is definitely the one pertaining to 'prince'. Many
have been debating the exact meaning of 'prince' to figure out who
HBP is. But if the riddle is any clue the prince is definitely used
in the sense of son of the king, or heir to the throne or kingdom or
whatever.
Since it cannot be Harry or Voldie, who is it? I have a hunch that
this will be a positive character and the lion-man might be him. But
who?
Thanks,
Adi
