I just can't not do this! I'm not sure I agree with
all my answers, but I'm just trying to make it
interesting...

1.  What new magical place will we visit?
  
I do think it's going to be Godric's Hollow, and I
would say it's about time! And my guess is that James
and Lily are buried there.  

2.  Are any of the Dursleys wizards?  Who?
 
Just to be different, I'll say Uncle Vernon!
 
3.  Identify the next DADA teacher.

Mundungus Fletcher. Again, just to be different. And
you really have to be eccentric to have that job. 
 
4.  Which "beloved" character(s) will die? Any other
deaths, and if so, who?

I don't necessarily believe this, nor do I want it to
happen, but what about Sirius? Or maybe Lupin. Arg,
that would be horrible!

5.  Of Lupin, Sirius, Krum, Fleur, Lockhart, Winky,
Dobby, Moody, Bagman, Madam Maxime, which characters
will have speaking lines in

I hope Madam Maxime, since she should just be coming
back with Hagrid from visiting the giants...definitely
Lupin (and I for one will be thrilled to have him
back, unless he dies), Sirius, Krum (briefly), Winky,
Dobby, Moody, Bagman. I guess I only left out
Lockhart.

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

Well, again just to play devil's advocate, I will say
No. Assuming Voldemort has control over the MOM, he
will see that he is deposed. Maybe he'll even be
implicated in someone's death? I'm sure he'll die
before the end of the series, though.
 
7.  At the end of OoP, will Fudge be the Minister of
Magic?

No; Voldemort will have someone there.  
 
8.  At the end of OoP, will Neville be the same
forgetful boy, or will he have changed in some way?
 
His change will just be starting, but I don't think
we'll see anything dramatic until book 6 or 7.  

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

going along with my earlier prediction that he'll die,
I'll say yes. (Again, I don't necessarily believe this
or want it to happen.)

10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?

not this time. 
 
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 think all of the above. Why not? And maybe
Dumbledore's puter-outer will appear again? And I
think we'll get a host of new magical items too.
 
12.  Will there be Quiddich at Hogwarts?
  
yes.  
 
If so, who will be the Gryffindor Keeper?

I like the Seamus idea.

Gryffindor Captain?

maybe that Harry kid, although maybe one of the twins?
and maybe that will lead to some animosity between
them?

13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus? 
Who?

maybe dumbledore? since he taught transfiguration...
 
14. Who is Mundungus Fletcher?

old crowd. will become the new DADA teacher.

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

not yet, unless he kills Lupin with it.

Okay...who's next?
