[HPforGrownups] My *one* most rock-solid prediction for OOP

Hello All--

OK, whoever stole the books, give 'em back!!!  Unless you give one to 
me... ;-)

Anyway-- here's my one prediction.  Don't think I've seen this one yet. 
 (Smitty, drumroll, please)  

Krum attends Hogwarts as an exchange student.

A couple of random thoughts on other's theories:  

- I don't think the DADA teacher is going to be anyone we've seen, 
unless it's Professor Grubbly-Plank.  (the substitute for Hagrid in GoF, 
for those who can't recall that very minor character...)
- I'll join the "most of the theories we've promoted are wrong" camp. 
 After all, my personal favorite theory for GoF was that Neville was 
Peter Pettigrew's son or relative.  Guess not!  
- Put my with the "Fudge isn't evil, just too political" folks, too.
- I'll be disappointed if Hermione isn't a prefect.
- Don't know who will die, but I think the "painful to write" death will 
be a more detailed description of Lilly and/or James' death.  After all, 
we don't have as many details about James' as we do for Lilly's.
- Fleur will show up again, too.  Don't know where or how, but she will.

word I could understand was "Lockhart."
