"Okay, I've read a few posts asking for a new question and answer 
thing, so here we go =)"

1.Do you think we'll ever go inside an Arithmacy class or perhaps any 
other classes we have yet to see?

We might see the Astronomy tower, without a teacher there, late at night...(wink, wink, nudge nudge, say no more, say no more!)

2. Do any of the pets in Harry Potter seem like they're not *really* 
pets.


Trevor, definitely.  Perhaps Hedwig

 
3. Name your favorite new organization with letters (Ie: N.I.N.E= 
Neville is not Evil) and try to come up with your own.


LOCKHART (Lockhart!  Oh, Conceited Knave...Handsome and Always Treacherous)

I came up with the first 4 words, Nicole the rest.


A group who enjoy laughing at him.  He's not hard on the eyes while you're laughing at him, either, so it's good entertainment all around!  No, we wouldn't trust him any more than we could throw him. We'll watch him through the one-way window of his padded room at St. Mungo's, and then he won't be allowed a wand after that.

4. Will Draco ever stop being oh so evil?


I think it would take some big life-changing event for that to happen, such as his mother being killed by Voldemort for punishment to him or his father.  But I hope he stays ever-so-evil, and gets even more evil, or he won't be a good nemesis to Harry.


5. Predictions on the final chapter of book 7?


I like the theory that Harry sacrifices himself, which ultimately kills Voldemort, but because Harry does it out of love for his friends/family, he is "resurrected" again.  And then all the good dead people are resurrected as well, and they all live happily ever after.  Oh, wait...that's Disney's version.    


6. Ron and Hermione--Will they hook up?


I hope so.  All that tension between them should ease up some once they "hook up".  I predict that they are quiet about their relationship in front of Harry so as not to make him feel left out or jealous of their happiness.


7. What's the deal with Wizard money? Does it collect interest? Why 
is it so darn big and heavy? Why not paper money instead of coins?


Good point, Fyre.  I think the Goblins are the only ones gaining interest.  They can alway use a good shrinking and weightless charm for the big, heavy coins.  Remember, their money is actual gold, silver and bronze, not silver plated coins and paper that only represent the real gold. It must be real cool to hold coins of solid precious medal.  Who'd want paper when you could have the real thing?  


8. If you could play any Quidditch position, what would it be? Why? 
Which team?


I think I'd like beater... I could get out any frustrations by knocking the snot out of those bludgers.  Very therapeutic.  No team; just a good pick-up game at home with friends and family would be fine with me.


9. Name a character who is going to have the most change in his/her 
characterization between books 5-7, and explain what changes might 
happen.

I think we'll see more growth from Ginny.  We've started to see her outgrow her awkwardness around Harry in book 4.  I think Harry will notice that although she is nice to him, she has stopped blushing around him and she can have an actual conversation with him.  He might even be a little sad to lose her wide-eyed, red-faced admiration, but he'll tell himself he's glad it's over. I think Harry will get to know her personality and come to appreciate her as a friend.  Maybe he'll develop feelings for her more than friendship, maybe not.  But it won't matter to her; she cares for him as a friend, but won't die if he never likes her as more.  She'll be focused on herself as an individual, growing up and developing her magical power.  I think she has an important part to play in the upcoming struggle ahead, and I think it has something to do to the life-debt she has to Harry.  Maybe that's why we hardly know anything about her from the first four books.  We've spent more "reading time" with Bill and Charlie than Ginny, and they don't even live at home!  There might be a reason for that that JKR will (hopefully) be forthcoming with in book 5.

Oops, I'm sorry...didn't notice I was standing on the Ginny soapbox...I'll step down now......Oh, one more thing <hops back on box>...for those "Ginny Haters" out there, I don't understand how someone can hate another without really knowing them.  Okay, now I'm really done.  

10. What new flavors of Bertie Bott's beans would you like to eat?

I always liked how you could combine 2-3 Jelly Belly's to make a whole new flavor (remember the little recipe charts that would tell you which to combine...I can't think of an example right now), so I think Bertie should design beans that combine these 2-3 flavors in a way that creates the whole flavor in one bean.  Maybe chocolate chip cookie-dough ice cream would be nice...but it would have to taste JUST like Ben and Jerry's.  


Lilac (who likes filking better than posting because she tends to say something stupid and then gets lots of negative attention.  With filks, you can pretty much say what you want and you get very little, if any, feedback!)
