  all a half-blood prince
it is still a lame title. wonder if it's too late to change it.

'harry potter and the half-blood prince' sounds like the title of an involved piece of fan fiction. but i guess it's hardly suprising, because j.k. rowling made a big case about ancestry in her first five books - i mean, draco malfoy, or at least, his parents.

to the malfoy adults, one is muggle, part-wizard, quarter-wizard, half-wizard, varying degrees of removed-wizard, or full-blood.

but i think there's still hope for draco. just as his voice changes, so will his outlook on life.

the title is so lame because it isn't as fantastic as the first five:

philosopher's stone (or socerer's)
chamber of secrets
prisoner of azkaban
goblet of fire
order of the phoenix

and then... the half-blood prince?

there's william and harry who are princes.

there's the hapas of asian america whose full-time job it is to balance three different worlds - one each from their parents, and then living in the u.s. or more than three worlds.

there's people like me who are full ( __ insert nationality here __ , in my case) filipino ( - yes don't you dare start), but moved to another country and fight tooth and nail just to stay real in both worlds.

so essentially, everyone can be half-blood princes. princes, because even though you don't have that title, someone regards you as such. even the girls - because they get swept up with the group address, 'whoever shall cross this street while the green light is on, he shall be run over by the shiny silver SUV.' heeehehehehe -

if she's trying to be scary... then hmmm -
