The following are predications for the remaining books in the Harry Potter series made by various members of the Harry Potter for Grown-Ups group. The author, J.K. Rowling, has reportedly confirmed some of these predictions. Some of the supposedly confirmed predictions for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire were shown to be false. Due to this I refuse to highlight which of the following have been confirmed as being true (or indeed false).

General Predictions

Learning more about Harry's relatives. Voldemort might be related to Harry.

Ron and Hermione ending up together.

Snape, Draco or one of the Dursleys' to change for the better. One possibility being that Voldemort kills Draco's parents in front of him and Harry saves his life.

Book 5

Fleur will become a Hogwarts teacher.

Professor Lupin will make a return in this one!

We shall learn more about Lily Potter!

Through all her hard work Hermione will be made into a Perfect.

Angelina Johnson to be Captain of Gryffindor Quidditch team.

Snape and/or Karkaroff will die.

Either Fudge or Dumbledore will get kicked out of their position.

Sirius Black clears his name and adopts Harry.

Dudley dies of a heart/diabetes attack or gets very sick.

The Creevey brothers will play are slightly larger role in this one.

Snape gets the D.A.D.A. teaching position.

Ron to be made prefect.

Draco to be made prefect.

Voldemort rounds up the troops and starts his assault on the Wizard World.

Lucius uses his influence to infect the Ministry of Magic with bad ideas. Fudge follows all of these bad ideas until Arthur Weasley starts to fight back with the reluctant help of his son Percy and the willing help of Charlie and Bill.

Bagman turns out to be a really bad guy after all.

Harry gets into hot water because rumours fly that he was responsible for the death of Cedric. Hermione and Ron start to pair up gradually which isolates Harry for part of the book. Cho resents Harry at first because she starts to believe the rumours about his killing Cedric (or at least that he is somehow responsible). Harry feels torn between his own feelings of guilt for the death of Cedric because he asked him to touch the cup with him! Harry longs to be close to Cho but has to deal with all of this guilt and suspicion. At the end of the book his name is cleared again and Cho begins to like him again.

The Malfoys' become exposed partially by Arthur Weasley, which puts him in danger of Voldemort's wrath.

The House of Slytherin alumni try to use Snape's influence and position to undermine the power of Dumbledore. This causes major internal struggles for Snape who must maintain his cover and still remain loyal to Prof. Dumbledore.

Hagrid tries to learn more Wizard charms by taking after school classes from Prof. McGonagall. She becomes smitten with him and a slight romance develops. McGonagall is attacked by Death Eaters but Hagrid saves her with his newly learned magical powers. One of his beasts finishes off one of the bad guys.

Harry learns that his parents were undercover agents for the Ministry of Magic. Moody tells him a few tales about his father's life after Hogwarts. The real Moody that is. Moody takes Harry under his wing to prepare him for future battles with Voldemort.

Wormtail starts to question his obedience to Voldemort after the embarrassment caused by the escape of Harry from the graveyard. A few of the more intelligent Death Eaters also start to wonder about this powerful but not too bright leader of theirs!

Hogwarts is under attack by the Death Eaters. Slytherin students are caught in the middle by their allegiance to their families who are involved in the Dark Side. The Professors must somehow manage the stressful situation.

Ron Weasley and Neville develop stronger roles in this book. Neville gains more confidence in his magic. Ron starts to become bolder to win the affections of Hermione. Ginny becomes the great women behind the man for Neville and helps him feel his inner strengths. Neville starts to become one of Harry's team. The beginnings of the followers of Harry who must eventually do battle with Voldemort and his band of baddies.

The first tests come at the schoolyard against Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle who are still smarting from the incident on the train. The first incident occurs at Hogsmeade during Halloween.

Dumbledore is under constant attack from the MOM via Fudge and Lucius. Snape learns a few lessons in humility from his dealings with the bad guys. He starts to realize that he could be great if he went over to the Dark Side. Snape becomes torn between looking good for the bad guys and doing the work of Dumbledore since Dumbledore starts to fall out of favour. Dumbledore starts to show off his real powers and Snape returns to his allegiance to him.

Book 6

The title might be.... 'Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch'. Supposedly Harry finds a torch which has a green flame which is supposed to heal good and kill evil. Insiders info: The term 'green flame' came from a magic spell from the ancient Egyptian civilization. The 'green flame' comes from Memphis, Egypt and it means, I have not stolen food. Another note: The 'magic spell' came from the Book of the Dead.

Hagrid dies

Book 7

Snape might fall in love or redeemed. And become a nice guy.

Hermione will be come Head Girl.

Harry and Draco team up and fight an evil force.

The last word of this book will be scar.

One of Harry's fellow classmates will become a teacher!

We are to know even more about Lily Potter.

Magic cannot bring the dead back to life again. So we won't be able to see Harry's parents.

Hogwarts is destroyed.

Harry IS told why Voldemort wanted to kill him.

Dumbledore dies.

Someone/thing kills the Dursley's.

I really don't imagine any of the main 3 dying though

The Dementors will go berserk and it will be all Harry can do to stop them from wiping out the entire British Isles (Wizard *and* Muggle)!

I predict that for or before Book 7's release, we'll be able to all download the newest HP book to our computer or ebook at the same time, everywhere in the world.

Harry dies, taking Voldemort with him, because otherwise we will wonder about his life after Hogwarts and it could only be a life more ordinary!

To discover what Harry and his friends did in their professions, whom they married, etc. before ending the book by declaring, 'And now having endeavoured to suit everyone by many weddings, few deaths, and as much prosperity as the eternal fitness of wizardry will permit, let the music stop, the lights die out, and curtain fall forever on Harry Potter, the great wizard with the amazing scar.' (Apologies to Louisa May Alcott.)

We will find out why people become ghosts. Those who become ghosts are likely to have been unhappy (ie: Moaning Myrtle).
