Hi All. I am wondering who people think HBP Is? JKR has already said that it is not Harry or LV so those 2 are out. I personally think it is Neville. 

Also do you think that Harry is going to tell Ron and Hermione about the prophecy and that he has to either kill LV or be killed himself? Just some thoughts and I look forward to other people's responses.

Chris:

As others have pointed out it is unlikely to be any of the purebloods, unless we find out that the parentage is not as sure as we have been led to believe.  However, I don't think that this is likely either, because this is a children's book and while I am sure kids these days can deal with just about anything thrown their way, I for one don't see JKR putting it in her HP books.  

I think the HBP is most likely to be a historical figure.  I like the idea of Godric Gryffindor.  This would give some symmetry to the COS storyline about Salazar Slytherin.  I also think it may be a title that refers to GG's caring of all magic children and not just the purebloods that SS was so adamant about, rather than an actual regal title.

I do think Harry will tell Ron and Hermione.  IIRC, JKR said something to the effect that he will tell them once he comes to terms with his emotions.
