Fyre Wood says: I think this is a great thing you found on 
archives... and I'm going to post my replies right below your 
questions =)

I'm honestly hoping for Harry to see Azkaban... then we can see the 
dementors again =)

Dudley... oh wouldn't that be a kicker. If not Lily, then maybe 
Petunia. Then she'd get off her case of "my sister was a witch and 
I'm not, so I'll complain about it time and time again."

> > 3.  Identify the next DADA teacher.

Arabella Figg. I thought Fleur, but y'all convinced me it's Figg.

Ron... I'm sorry, but he has this evil thing about him that appears 
every now and then. If not Ron, then maybe Hagrid, since Dumbledore 
said he'd trust Hagrid with his life. Maybe Hagrid will "take a 
bullet" as the saying goes for his beloved Headmaster.

Lupin, Dobby (unfortunately) and I think that's it. I'd like to see 
Fudge return. Dobby is just too darn annoying.. and when you double 
that with Winky, you have one angry reader.


> > 6.  At the end of OoP, will Dumbledore be the headmaster?

Nope. He'll be dead or on his death bed.

> > 7.  At the end of OoP, will Fudge be the Minister of Magic?

Yes, and he'll be a puppet for Voldy. Fudge is EVIL!

Neville will start his transformation into a "stud." That's all I 
have to say on the subject.

> > 9.  At the end of OoP, will Sirius have cleared his name?

Unfortunately, not.

> > 10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?

What would a Potter book be w/o a confrontation. Gosh, it's like part 
of the basic plot structure. See Potter. See Potter at Dursley house 
being abused. Potter returns to school, faces Voldy, nearly dies, and 
all is well because he saves the day.

The Maruader's Map I thought was gone. I'd like to see the 
invisibility cloak again =)
  
> > 12.  Will there be Quiddich at Hogwarts? 

There better be, or you'll have an angry mob.
  
> > If so, who will be the Gryffindor Keeper?  

Ron. Neville will obtain an open possition once Angelina, Katie, and 
Gred and Forge leave.

Harry... because it's just his luck.
  
> > 13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus?  Who?

Uh.. no one?  
> > 14.  Who is Mundungus Fletcher?

Wasn't he the guy who was wearing the dress at the world cup? I hope 
he was because that guy was SO funny.

> > 15.  Will Wormtail use his silver hand in an important way?

Yes, he'll attempt to kill Lupin with it.


Misc Thoughts: Neville is NOT Evil. He'll sacrifice himself to save 
everyone.
