Fan site MuggleNet claimsopens in new window two separate readers asked Harry Potter author JK Rowling at the Edinburgh International Book Festival in August whether Rubeus Hagrid was the next book's title character, or the half-blood prince.

Rowling allowed attendees to ask her questions while she signed autographs during her appearance, and according to these lucky fans, she answered "no" to both, when asked independently.
