Yet Another Theory

(He) looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp. that is the description of the half blood prince we should think about who that looks like.

I thought that JKR had given us a clue that we had met the HBP in Book 2 Chamber of Secrets. Does anyone recall a distinctive old man in Book 2 mentioned in passing? I am flummoxed.

maybe it's Filch...haha wouldn't that be a hoot?

hes going to be somone we dont know or somone we dont think it will be...


(that way im right nomatter who it is... so HA!!!)

Hey Katy: YOU'RE RIGHT!

Wannabe: John Cleese's name is in the credits (Fish Called Wanda, Monty Python). I do believe that he plays Filch. Ya gotta love Filch. He reminds me of every gamekeeper in every British movie I have ever seen in my life. What a perfectly nasty old bag of stubble he is too! If he turned out to be Prince Argus Filch, I would run to the nearest hill and do a barrell roll all the way down! Yes!

I agree with you.....Zonko...

Sorry Zonko but John Cleese plays Nearly Headless not Filch. 'Prince Nearly' maybe? Ohh, hang on- he'd have to be 'No Blood Prince'. If I recommended 'The Bloody Baron' I'd be really clutching at straws wouldn't I? I'd fit right in though.

Alas, Buffybuff: I think you are correct. John Cleese does play Nearly Headless Nick. Pity. If I could play any part in the Harry Potter Movie, my first choice would be Argus Filch. I could let my hair grow long, put a little axel grease on it and buy brown clothes.

How 'bout you? If you could play any character in the Harry Potter movies, which one would it be?

that's a good question!! i think i'd want to be....pro. trelawny, cuz she's so looney. or malfoy, cuz he's a bad guy....that'd be fun. that's tough...i'ma keep thinking.
