I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the magical place 
that Harry will visit will be the Ministry of Magic, and I'm also 
going to guess that his visit there will have something to do with 
Percy Weasley, who will surely be struggling with divided loyalties 
all through OoP. At first ambition will cause him to come down on the 
side of the MoM, but after a wake-up call (and I'm really gonna risk 
my neck and say one of the twins dies!) he'll do the right thing and 
join the rest of the family in fighting Voldemort. I like the idea 
that the female DADA teacher we've been led to expect is Arabella 
Figg, but I also like the idea that she's a contemporary of the 
Marauders and a former girlfriend of one of them. (Probably Sirius.) 
Either way, I think that Harry will meet Mrs. Figg again and realize 
that she's a witch. Now that my neck is so far out that I look like a 
giraffe, I'm also going to add that at some point, but not 
necessarily in this book, Cho Chang will either die or join 
Voldemort; Neville will come into his own; Ron will be tricked into 
providing info to Voldemort; Dumbledore and Sirius will die.... Or, 
as often happens, I have no idea what I'm talking about and JKR will 
prove me wrong, as she so often has.
