No: HPFGUIDX 44125

All right, my turn:
> > > > 1.  What new magical place will we visit?
I'm rooting for Azkaban. That's what I'm most interested in, anyway

> > > > 2.  Are any of the Dursleys wizards?  Who?
Nope. There's something about them, though.

> > > > 3.  Identify the next DADA teacher.
Someone we've never heard of. A woman, but someone new.

> > > > 4.  Which "beloved" character(s) will die?  Any other deaths,
> > and   if so, who?
Hagrid. I don't know how he's gonna be offed, but it's definitely 
Hagrid.
 
> > > > 5.  Of Lupin, Sirius, Krum, Fleur, Lockhart, Winky, Dobby, 
Moody,
> > > > Bagman, Madam Maxime, which characters will have speaking 
lines in
Lupin, Sirius, the elves, and Madame Maxime.

> > > > 6.  At the end of OoP, will Dumbledore be the headmaster?
Yup. I don't think it's possible for that school to be run-decently-
by anyone else.

> > > > 7.  At the end of OoP, will Fudge be the Minister of Magic?
I think he's wind up doing something to aid evil. He'll be a very 
misguided MoM.

> > > > 8.  At the end of OoP, will Neville be the same forgetful 
boy, or
> > > > will he have changed in some way?
I think we'll start to see some developments to his character, but I 
don't think he'll really change till the end of book 6, or even till 
book 8.

> > > > 9.  At the end of OoP, will Sirius have cleared his name?
I don't think his name will be cleared, but he'll have more and more 
people believing, knowing, that he is innocent.

> > > > 10.  Will Harry and Voldemort have a confrontation?
No, just some DEs. We need a break from Voldy.

> > > > 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.
Enough with the polujuice! No more polyjuice! The pensieve will 
return, veritaserum, the Map, portkeys, foe glass, and knight bus. 

> > > > 12.  Will there be Quiddich at Hogwarts?
There better be! There was none in the last book, can't have 2 books 
w/o Quidditch.

> > > > If so, who will be the Gryffindor Keeper?
I want to say Ron, but I can't imagine him being on the Quidditch 
team.

> > > > Gryffindor Captain?
Harry. No one else but Harry. He'll be unanimously voted, or 
something, and he'll protest, and Ron'll hate him, and midway 
through the book it'll work out.

> > > > 13.  Will anyone else turn out to be an animagus?  Who?
We're done with that topic.
> 
> > > > 14.  Who is Mundungus Fletcher?
Some nutter who will be very important or semi-important in book 5.  
> 
> > > > 15.  Will Wormtail use his silver hand in an important way?
Right, he got it last book, and he's not going to use it? Come on!
Yes, he'll use it.

There's my 2 cents...or knuts.

-Acire, who wants to know what happened to all the questions about 
Snape. <g>
