I agree, if the 'Lion-man' ( for want of a better word) description from JKR's site is the HBP, he can't be anyone we have already met.

There is someone we have been told of, in OotP, by the name of Caradoc Dearborn. Moody was showing photographs of the original order to Harryand telling him about them. Dearborn is missing 'presumed' dead

According to HP Lexicon Caradoc was a British Celtic Prince who led a rebellion against the Romans.

I know its a little obscure, but wouldn't it be just like JKR to throw in that kind of a hint?

Whoa, good thinking! The Caradoc sounds very possible!!
I'm thinking that the "Lion-man" might be "Felix Felicis", which is the title of a chapter that was revealed when the door opened over Halloween, I think it was. I'm personally doubtful about him being the prince.

I must have missed that one :( . Even that could fit. This Caradoc Dearborn has never been described, he was missing, presumed dead. I don't think memory loss is unheard of in the wizard world.

Maybe they are the same person?

Ooh, maybe they are the same! Anythign is possible!
The chapters were "Felix Felicis", "Spinners End", and "Draco's Detour."

I think that both of those people sound like good possibilities. Hmm.. I really don't think it would be somebody we already know in the books. nobody really fits that discription.

I doubt it is this person, but it seems like Viktor Krum was described as lion-like in the 4th book. Bushy hair and bushy eyebrows...

Yeah... until July... :(
Also, I have been thinking about it possibly being Aberforth.

I don't think the 'lion-man' is the HBP. I think he may be the new DADA professor. JKR wouldn't give out info about the HBP yet. She was probably trying to trick us.

Very true... speaking of DADA, I wonder what happened to Umbridge? lol

I don't think I have any more ideas about the HBP... there are so many possibilities.

I think that could also be the DADA professor, that's right. He seems like he would make a good professor, and seems to come on the scene rather suddenly, as note that you are not observing him at the staff table, but have a fuller view, I think.
Someone should find that and post it here...I'm too lazy to. :lol:
