Suddenly, I am wondering who it will be.  Surely they won't be so heavy-
handed as to make Cho the 'sneak', giving Harry (and the audience) a 
good reason to stop liking Cho.  Katie L. presents a very sweet and 
vulnerable Cho, and they won't want the audience to be too disappointed 
when Harry and Cho split, so making her the scapegoat is a possibility 
I suppose.  Maybe Michael Corner?  No Gryffindor would be a sneak, and 
Luna wouldn't be appropriate either of course.  Ah!  Zacharias Smith (I 
think that's his name)?   

Or they will drop the entire 'sneak' hex and just simply have Draco and 
the Inquisitorial squad discover them?  It would be a decent set-up for 
the Half-Blood Prince, to see Draco finding the Room of Requirement.

Are we assuming there's no Marietta because IMDB didn't list her as a 
character?  I vaguely recall the Marietta speculation somewhere, months 
ago...can't remember now.  Or was it some Warner Bros. site?

Hey, how about that Luna?  They chose a die-hard HP fan!  I am so 
pleased for her. Check out the sweet photos at Newsround.  She looks 
quite different in all three photos, and probably will look different 
again in radish earrings.
