I'm new so please forgive me if I make posting errors.

Ok, some of what I'm writing here is pieced from clues I've picked up 
from all the books and some of it comes from bits of info I've read 
on several postings--from fan sites. (Some of this may be obvious 
info.)

There is a great war coming between the death eaters and everyone 
else.

Hagrid will tame the giant in the forest and he will bring back the 
other giants to fight for the good side.

Hermione with the help of a certain elf will enlist the other elves 
in the fight against evil. Her S.P.E.W. campaign begins to start 
working for her. The rest of the elves realize that it is in their 
interest to protect the good guys (job security).

Hermione figures something out that helps Harry beat Voldemort (duh, 
she always does).

I believe that Ginny is going to be important. She had an important 
role in book 2. A role that did not necessarily have to go to her. L 
Malfoy could have easily slipped Riddle's diary in with Ron's books 
or George and Fred's books. She was showcased because she learns 
something from her possession by Riddle that becomes important later. 
Or, she may have become stronger because of what happened to her. 
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. (Ron, George, and Fred, 
have specific roles they are needed for later. Rowling had to 
introduce Ginny because she needed a character for a specific job 
separate from what she had planned for Ron, Fred, George. It is 
interesting that she chose a female character for this role...)

There is something else that struck me as curious about Ginny in OOTP-
- 
page 100, U.S. version of OOTP: "Yeah, size is no guarantee of 
power," said George. "Look at Ginny." "What do you mean?" said 
Harry. "You've never been on the receiving end of one of her Bat-
Bogey Hexes, have you?"
(What is a bat-bogey hex I wonder?)

Also,
page 116, OOTP: "There was a musical box that emitted a faintly 
sinister, tinkling tune when wound, and they all found themselves 
becoming curiously weak and sleepy until Ginny had the sense to slam 
the lid shut..."

I think that Ginny has become more powerful because she survived 
Riddle/Voldemort's possession of her. (It does not matter that it was 
Harry who saved her from Voldemort but that she survived.) She may 
now have some of Voldemort's powers, just like Harry does, because 
she was touched in such a powerful way.


Ron has been the most difficult for me to figure out. Everyone of the 
characters in the book has a strength particular to themselves. For a 
long time I saw Ron as just being the sidekick to Hermione and Harry. 
Then I realized that Rowling lets us know right away in book 1 what 
Ron's strengths are. He is a great strategist!!! THE CHESS GAME!!! 
(In fact, Dumbledore is so impressed with Ron's game at the end of 
the 1st book that he awards points to Gryffindor house). I believe 
that the game is symbolic for the war that is to come (other fans 
have mentioned the chess game as well).
Ron is going to be the leader for the army of children who will 
ultimately be responsible for beating Voldemort's gang. The children 
will be the heroes, not the adults! Ron will gain more confidence as 
the books progress. 

Ron will show how brave he truly is. He may have to sacrifice himself 
to save Harry. (Ron may be saved in the end by Hermione.)

Percy is evil and will have something to do with Ron's fall. I've 
tried to rationalize Percy too much in the past. I now do not think 
that he is under anyone's curse, nor that he is working under cover. 
Sometimes there is just one bad seed in the family. 

George and Fred will also be part of Ron's army, supplying ammunition 
and weapons. These two are not to be underestimated.

The older Weasley brothers will also help (dragons,Gringott's bank 
tunnels or it's workers).

The four houses of Hogwarts will need to unite in order to beat evil. 
(War breaks out within the school itself. The ghosts come to the 
children's defense.) 

Neville will also help Harry and has also been underestimated. He 
will use his talent in herbology somehow.

One of the children will be shown to be a direct heir of Slytherin 
but is not evil. This child may help to unite the houses. Luna 
Lovegood?

Someone will go back to OOTP headquarters and read a book there 
called:
Nature's Nobility: A Wizarding Geneology . (Hermione?) This person 
will realize that the Weasley's are directly descended from Godric 
Gryffindor. (Is there any family braver or worthier than the Weasleys-
-I think not!) Harry may also be related to Godric via one side of 
his family.

Here is the page that mentions the book--
p116, OOTP: "Sirius seized it (a spider like instrument on Harry's 
arm) and smashed it with a heavy book entitled Nature's Nobility: A 
Wizarding Genealogy." 

Dudley relives a lost memory from his childhood through the Dementor 
attack.
I think that the Dementor that attacked Dudley made him remember 
something he saw as a baby. 

>From OOTP (Page 30, U.S. version): "All dark," Dudley said hoarsely, 
shuddering. "Everything dark. And then I heard....things. Inside m-my 
head..."

Petunia then responds in a way that makes it seem that she is worried 
that her son may be losing his mind:

"What sort of things did you hear, popkin?" breathed aunt Petunia, 
very white-faced with tears in her eyes. 

But maybe Petunia was worried that Dudley might have remembered 
something that happened in the past. Something he should not have 
seen.

"But Dudley seemed in capable of saying. He shuddered again and shook 
his large blond head, and despite the sense of numb dread that had 
settled on Harry since the arrival of the first owl, he felt a 
certain curiosity. Dementors caused a person to relive the worst 
moments of their life...What would spoiled, pampered, bullying Dudley 
have been forced to hear?"

Petunia may have been threatened by Voldemort. She probably knows him 
up close and personal, and not by listening in on her sister's 
conversations. Voldemort may have gotten to Petunia (when he was 
searching for the Potter's)before he reached word from wormtail. He 
may have threatened Petunia or her son with a dementor. In fact 
Dudley's worst memory may be that he previously had an encounter with 
a dementor as a baby! (I hardly doubt that Dudley's worst fear was 
getting a pigtail.)

Dudley may realize the fear he caused to others while he was a bully 
and may give Harry important information from his vision. (Rowling 
has said that she feels sorry for Dudley because his parents actions 
towards him amounts to child abuse and that they have not prepared 
him for the real world.)

Rowling has stated that someone will gain magical powers late in life 
and that it is very rare in the wizard world. Petunia and her family 
may be put in another life and death situation and Petunia's magic 
may emerge. She may end up killing someone important to the death 
eaters because she takes them unawares.

Snape is the secret weapon of Voldemort (or of Dumbledore)???? (This 
can go either way.) Some fans suggest that Snape is really Perseus 
Evans--which also can be good or bad. If he is a mudblood hater he 
may be concealing his family background, like Riddle.
I have another comment about Snape. The memories of Snape that Harry 
sees, regarding his father, are biased. These memories are seen 
through the eyes of Snape and are therefore the way Snape sees the 
world. (You are always the good guy in your mind.) I'm sure Harry's 
dad was no angel, but remember Harry was also picking on Dudley at 
the begining of OOTP and Harry is not a bad guy. 

Mark Evans a first year in book 6 will become important and may be 
related to Harry via his mother's side. 

We will have to find out what happened to Harry's grandparents.

Olivander is a death eater???? (In fact there will probabLY be a lot 
of unkown death eaters that are revealed.)

Tonks, if she is truely on the good side, may morph herself into one 
of the children in order to lure the bad guys away. She may die. (If 
she is bad she will lure Harry into a trap.)

Harry is a fighter in the war. His position will be like his position 
in Quiddich (a talent inherited by his father). His job is to seek 
out Voldemort, where he eventually has a one-on-one face off (DUH). 
He will win with the help of a power inherited by his mother (his 
eyes?)--love is somehow involved.

Harry will also be the new Defense against the Dark arts teacher. Why 
Not! Who cares that he hasn't graduated yet (this is not the real 
world you know).
He already started teaching the kids in OOTP! If Lockhart can be 
hired, Harry can. 

Does Harry die? I'm not sure. He may be brought back to life by 
Neville through herbology? This is a complete guess, but it would be 
funny because the fake Moody, a death eater, is the one who steered 
Neville into herbology. (Voldemort would be thwarted by his own 
side.) Also, the prophecy would then apply to both Neville and Harry. 
Voldemort is defeated by both of them.

Finally, the cost of making these films will be enormous! LOL
