Actually, I got the pattern in book 1, mainly bc i am used to books with a 
twist, and i noticed Prf Quirrell was everywhere, and the scenes where he 
was arguing with snape he didnt seem to me to be so nervous.  And in book 4, 
I knew it wouldnt be Krum, And i suspected Mad Eye, but i never caught the 
whole son part of it....that was a pretty crazy twist.  I love how you get 
to the resolution and say "Oy...why did i not see that, she made it so 
obvious"...but it is only obvious once you know the ending.  There are so 
many ways she could do it and it is great.  Books for me were so mundane and 
predictable lately, which is a big part of why i enjoy the HP series as much 
as I do!
