Right, so I just read this, and on the seventh page it says that the
Sixth Cosmic Plane (the parallel to the sixth book) is home to some
called the Prodigal Son, and it just struck me that maybe Prodigal Son
will equal Half Blood Prince in some way...  (Someone who's read The
Alchemical Wedding should provide more information about this Prodigal
Son).

Hans' answers to your comments:
Thanks for the opportunity to expand on my article. This article is
extremely concise and it assumes a lot of background knowledge, perception
of Biblical and esoteric references, and the ability to do research. In
other words a bit like HP but nowhere near as wonderful. If I didn't compact
it, it would become extremely long, and boring. Most of the people who've
read the article tell me at least it's fairly readable.
The Sixth Cosmic Plane is not the parallel to the sixth book. The reference
to "The Prodigal Son" is from The New Testament and not from the Alchemical
Wedding. It's in Luke chapter 15. It tells of a son who took his father's
inheritance before he died and wandered far away to an alien land to
squander the money in loose living (hence "prodigal"). After he spent all
his money he was so poor he envied the pigs their food. He returned to his
father and asked to become a hired servant. The father had compassion and
took back his son. This is in fact a short resume of the Fall and Redemption
of humanity.
Where this comes into Harry Potter is that the whole human race is the
Prodigal Son. As I have said countless times in my posts, it is my assertion
that all the major characters in Harry Potter are aspects within each of us.
When we begin to realise that we are in an alien land, and a longing (James)
begins to arise to return to the Father, and we purify ourselves (Lily),
then Harry is born. Harry is that aspect in each one of us that is born when
we begin the return journey. 
The Cosmic Planes are a modern reference to what the New Testament in this
story calls "the father's house" and a "far away country". As most of you
will probably know, the original creative Cause of the universe created
things in lots of seven. When He, She or It created the Omni-verse It did so
in seven planes of existence. To simplify matters, the present situation is
that the First to the Sixth Cosmic Planes are referred to as the Father's
House, because His will is carried out there. The Seventh Cosmic Plane is
the universe we live in, with all its visible and invisible worlds. Because
of the Fall, our universe does not reflect the Divine Plan. We, the Prodigal
Sons of the original Creative Spirit, live in a far away land because the
Seventh Cosmic Plane is far removed from the Father's House. Harry Potter
teaches us in a veiled symbolical way how to return to the Father. In this
process Dumbledore symbolises the faculty which makes the return journey
possible.
Each Cosmic Plane in turn is subdivided into seven sub-planes. On page 3-4 I
have listed the planes. (The only plane that is visible to us is the
physical plane with its solids, liquids and gases.) It is THESE seven
(sub-)planes that have their parallels in each book. I explain in my article
how Harry liberates himself from the forces which imprison him on each
plane, just as Christian Rosycross does in the Tower of Olympus. 
You may wonder why I mix Biblical and Rosicrucian writings. That's because
there's only one Father's House and only one way to get back home. All the
major religious and esoteric traditions are road maps for the journey. In
every era the Father sends his emissaries to call the Prodigal Sons and
Daughters to leave the swine trough and come home. You may have heard of
this chap Jesus of Nazareth "The Anointed", for example, or Prince Gautama,
or Hermes the Thrice Greatest, and many more. Today the call is coming to us
in the form of a series of seven books written by a woman who is inspired. I
have no idea whether she is aware of the source of her inspiration. Judging
by the extremely tight hold she's keeping on her story I think she must have
a fairly good idea. However although legally she owns the story, its essence
is not HER story but a message from the Causeless Cause calling us to come
back. It seems that a person has been chosen who is a genius at telling
stories. What is a better way to influence humanity than through its
children, by the use of powerful archetypes that resonate in the collective
subconscious?
Now to answer your theory: In a sense the Prodigal Son became a sort of Half
Blood Prince by leaving his father. When he returned he was not an heir to
anything because he had already spent his inheritance. A half-blood prince
is usually in the same position. The New Testament doesn't actually call the
father in the story a king, but he was very rich and had many servants. So
your theory that the Half Blood Prince is the Prodigal Son definitely has
merit.
Has anyone ever noticed that Harry, Ron and Hermione are ALWAYS mentioned in
the same order? And how we all talk about HRH? What's another meaning to
this abbreviation? His/Her Royal Highness of course! That's the title for a
Prince! 
The Prodigal Son, as I have pointed out, is US. Each and everyone of us is
the Prodigal Son. I have also pointed out that the main characters in Harry
Potter are aspects within us. Harry is the aspect in us that begins the
return journey. In my article I call him the new soul. Harry is born in the
heart (Godric's Hollow). Hermione obviously represents the mind and Ron the
ordinary earthly personality. So in fact, HRH together form the Prodigal
Child. HRH = Prodigal Son = HBP? 
Where this all falls flat is that I can't see how Jo Rowling can make the
Half Blood Prince equal the whole trio. It just doesn't seem possible.
Having built this wonderful house of cards it all falls flat here. Sorry for
this long rambling rave, but at least it's given us something to think and
marvel about.
