OoP Prediction Derby -- Moved to OT Chatter

[macloudt at yahoo.co.uk]

> 1.  What new magical place will we visit?
St. Mungo's, I think, perhaps with Neville

> 2.  Are any of the Dursleys wizards?  Who?
I wouldn't think so, as Petunia is still jealous of Lily after many 
years.

> 3.  Identify the next DADA teacher.
Arabella Fig, please!

> 4.  Which "beloved" character(s) will die?  Any other deaths, and 
if 
> so, who?
Aak, hopefully no one...but realistically, I think Lupin (sob)
  
> 5.  Of Lupin, Sirius, Krum, Fleur, Lockhart, Winky, Dobby, Moody, 
> Bagman, Madam Maxime, which characters will have roles in OoP?
Lupin, Sirius, Dobby, Moody, Bagman

> 6.  At the end of OoP, will Dumbledore be the headmaster?
Hmm, I hope so.

> 7.  At the end of OoP, will Fudge be the Minister of Magic?
No.

> 8.  At the end of OoP, will Neville be the same forgetful boy, or 
> will he have changed in some way?
Neville will always be Neville, but he'll do some growing up and gain 
some confidence.

> 9.  At the end of OoP, will Sirius have cleared his name?
No, not 'til book 7.

> 10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?
After GoF, a face-to-face one would be too much.  Call in the 
underlings!

> 11.  Of the following magical things, which will a character use or 
> confront:  pensieve, veritaserum, boggart, Marauder's Map, whomping 
> willow, polyjuice potion, nifflers, portkeys, rememberall, floo 
> powder, time turner, sneakoscope, foe glass, secrecy sensor, knight 
> bus.
Marauder's Map, portkeys, floo powder, sneakoscope, foe glass, knight 
bus.
> 12.  Will there be Quiddich?  If so, who will be the Gryffindor 
> Keeper?  Gryffindor Captain?
GO TEAM!!  Definately...with Ron as Keeper and Angelina as Captain

> 13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus?  Who?
No more non-listed ones please...but perhaps new animagi-in-
training...either Harry or Hermione...or both...

> 14.  Who is Mundungus Fletcher?
A contemporary of Sirius et al.  Can't make up my mind if he's friend 
or foe, though.

> 15.  Will Wormtail use his silver hand in an important way?
Seeing as it's silver, it must involve Lupin in some sinister way.

Thanks for this Laura!  Chances are I'm hopelessly wrong, but it's a 
fun way to kill time 'til OoP is *finally* out.

medication...)
