Half Blood Prince? Seriously?

J.K. Rowling has finally announced the title to the sixth Harry Potter book: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. News will probably start popping up in various places on the net. For some reason, i can't access the flash portion of Rowling's website, so i had to get external confirmation of the title. Rowling's site notes that the title is officially revealed, and both The Leaky Cauldron and Mugglenet confirm it.

It is hard to say what i think of the title, because i don't remember being impressed with either The Goblet of Fire or The Order of the Phoenix, but both ended up making sense after reading the books and they fit the stories very well. Now i can't imagine the books without those titles. I'm sure it will be the same with this one. I'm fairly glad that the title didn't end up being The Green Flame Torch as had been long rumored (and long debunked).
