No: HPFGUIDX 26323

1.  What new magical place will we visit?
St. Mungo's Hospital, Azkaban

 2.  Are any of the Dursleys wizards?  Who?
JKR said to keep an eye on Dudley.  Maybe that's why?

 3.  Identify the next DADA teacher.
Mrs. Figg (or someone who was thought to be Mrs. Figg--I have a whole elaborate theory, but I won't put it here since I have nothing to back it up with <g>.)

 4.  Which "beloved" character(s) will die?  Any other deaths, and if 
 so, who?
*sniff sniff* Dobby, and if I really want to have the book drenched in tears, Remus Lupin or Mrs. Weasley
  
 5.  Of Lupin, Sirius, Krum, Fleur, Lockhart, Winky, Dobby, Moody, 
 Bagman, Madam Maxime, which characters will have speaking lines in 
 OoF?
Lupin, Sirius, Krum, Fleur, Winky, Dobby, Moody

 6.  At the end of OoF, will Dumbledore be the headmaster?
I'm not so sure about that one, but I'm leaning toward yes.

 7.  At the end of OoF, will Fudge be the Minister of Magic?
Same as 6

 8.  At the end of OoF, will Neville be the same forgetful boy, or 
 will he have changed in some way?
Unless he takes some potion or is under some spell to drastically improve his memory, he'll still be pretty forgetful.  However, I think we'll see some changes in him.

 9.  At the end of OoF, will Sirius have cleared his name?
I certainly hope so.  I want to see him being important in his own right, not just because he's Harry's godfather.

 10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?
I'm going to say no.

 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.
I'm a big fan of the pensieve.  I also think the Marauder's Map will be important since Harry doesn't have it at the end of GoF.  And as much as I think it's overused, I think we will see polyjuice potion again.  Floo powder seems to be an everyday part of wizarding life, so we'll probably see that, but it won't be that significant.

 12.  Will there be Quiddich at Hogwarts?  If so, who will be the 
 Gryffindor Keeper?  Gryffindor Captain?
Keeper--either Ron or some new student
Captain--either Angelina or Fred and/or George

 13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus?  Who?
I can't think of anyone in particular, but someone else could be.

 14.  Who is Mundungus Fletcher?
He's a member of the "old crowd," probably about a generation older than Sirius and Remus.

 15.  Will Wormtail use his silver hand in an important way?
I don't know why JKR would have given it to him otherwise, although I can't for the life of me figure out what he'll do with it.
