Hello everyone! This is my first post so please bear with me.

While I was reading the different posts here in our group, a thought 
came upon me regarding the statues in the ministry of magic. As we 
all know, the statues are that of a wizard, a witch, an elf, a 
goblin, and a centaur. Maybe(this is a big maybe) in the next 
installment, these five(not the statues but the people they 
represent) should unite or something to prove a point, that one is as 
strong as its weakest link. If all of them would not unite for a 
single cause(to defeat voldemort), all of their individual efforts 
would only be futile, and might lead to their doom. Apathy and 
ignorance are but two issues among several being tackled in the 
series and OOTP has clearly discussed these issues.

In addition, I think that this unity among the different races in the 
WW will be established in Hogwarts as an example to the whole WW, to 
illustrate what unity and equity can bring about. If they can show 
what five united beings can do, what more if the races represented by 
these five were united as well. (I'm not saying that a witch is a 
different race from that of a wizard but differences between the 
sexes are also present)

We already have four out of the five represented staying at Hogwarts 
but some of their identities are not yet clear. Firenze is surely the 
centaur since he has the open-mindedness to be with beings not of his 
own kind and understand them. The elf might be dobby. The wizard may 
be Dumbledore or Harry. Don't know who might be the witch though. The 
only missing piece is the goblin. Will there be a major character in 
the next book that is a goblin?

As I've said before, this is just a thought that I havc. Anyone who 
wishes to react, please do so.
