Our own forum moderator Renee got to sit down with the soon-to-be-famous star:
Renee: Hello, thank you for being with me today. It's such a pleasure to finally get to meet you. We've all heard so much about you.
HBP: Why, thank you very much. It's an honor.
Renee: So what's it like to have this secret identity and not be able to give yourself away?
HBP: It was very hard to deal with at first. There are so many people I want to tell, but I can't. Now I'm better at dealing with it. I keep telling myself that everyone will know soon, and that helps.
Renee: Why is your identity a secret?
HBP: Well, it's supposed to be a surprise. What good would knowing who I am be to you all as readers?
Renee: True, I never thought of it that way. So, are you getting anxious that soon, everyone will know who you are?
HBP: Oh yes, most definitely. There are times when I just want to go up to random Harry Potter lovers and say, "I am the Half-Blood Prince!" I can't keep it in much longer. I'm too excited.
Renee: How did you feel when you found out that you were the Half-Blood Prince?
HBP: Hmm... good question. I was shocked, quite frankly. I remember where I was when I found out. I was... hang on, if I told everyone now it would probably give away something important. Let's just say I was pleasantly surprised.
Renee: What's it like to see the mystery of your identity unfolding right before your eyes? I mean there are posters that will be up soon counting down the days until your identity is revealed.
HBP: Well, I just laugh when I read the posters. In a way I like knowing something that everyone else doesn't know. My identity is like that of a super hero. I want everyone to know who I am.
Renee: So tell me a little bit about yourself.
HBP: Well I... hey, you almost tricked me!
Renee: Finally, is there anything that you want Potter fans to know?
HBP: Just support me when I make my debut Saturday, July 16th. And please stop Googling me until then. It's creepy.
Renee: Thank you. All the rest of you Harry Potter fans can find out who the Half-Blood Prince is in JK Rowling's 6th book, which hits bookstands July 16, 2005.
P.S. April Fool's!

I think its good that the half blood prince did not tell who he or she is because it would ruin the book for readers.

Very cute! Thanks for the laughs.
I'm so excited for the release. I was hoping JKR would do something on her site today. Too bad.

That was cute, but not very informative. Assuming that they phrasing is the same as the HBP it sounds like a younger person. Possibly a clue?

HAHAHA! That was definately funny! For a second there I thought it might be real but just for a second. I liked the part where the HBP says that he was "shocked" to find out he was the HBP
