Time for me. I've been saying in the weekly chat for months now.
Hermione is gonna die.
Too general?
Hermione is gonna die between pages 225-375.
She will die during one of the mid-story escapades that the Trio 
seems to have in each of the books so far, and her death will be the 
final, galvanizing event to spur the entire MoM into action (both 
for the good and bad). 
Oh yeah...I almost forgot... She comes back as a ghost in the last 
chapter.

bang.
