OOP: Clues and Predictions for 6 & 7

[Ed]

No: HPFGUIDX 65458

Someone earlier wrote about predictions for future plot elements 
(aside from SHIPs) not being discussed possibly because people did 
not want to get to close and ruin it for everyone.  I hate to say, 
but I think the only way that it could be ruined is if JKR herself 
came out and said that, yep, you all hit it on the head.  Lets face 
it, she's not going to do that.  She herself says she enjoys seeing 
peoples speculations.  SO......... on that note, I have some ideas 
to toss out into cyberspace.  Let's all pull up a poof or well 
stuffed chair, relax in the cloying scents coming from the fire, and 
see if we've learned anything from Prof. Trelawny.  




As I gauze into the Crystal Ball of OOP, I have come up with a few 
ideas about what is yet to come.  The first thing we all want to 
know when Book 6 comes out is how did everyone do on thier O.W.L.'s. 
I have some ideas there.  Hermione, of course, is going to get OWL's 
in all 10 subjects she took, all outstanding except Ancient Runes 
(Exceedes Expectations).  I think Harry got 7 OWL's and Ron got 6.

(O=Outstanding, E=Exceeds Expectations, A=Acceptable, P=Poor(Fail), 
D=Dreadful(Fail), and T=Troll(according to the twins))

Harry's OWL's
Charms - E
Trasfiguration - E
Herbology - E
Defence against the Dark Arts - O++++++++++++++ 
Potions - O (yes I think he'll get an O in potions)
Care of Magical Creatures - O
Divination - P (gee darn - no more divination)
Astronomy - A
History of Magic - D (didn't even get to finish)

Ron's OWL's
Charms - E
Trasfiguration - A
Herbology - E
Defence against the Dark Arts - O
Potions - A
Care of Magical Creatures - E
Divination - P
Astronomy - P
History of Magic - P

Some of you may have a few points of contention on my list, Harry's 
O in potions for instance.  Harry has to get an O in potions,  Harry 
and Hermione will be the only two Gryffindors in NEWT Potions, Harry 
still has to be in Potions, or the Snape/Harry animosity cannot be 
played up as much. And anyway, Harry will not change his carrer goal 
until AFTER the final battle with Voldemort in Book 7. So he needs 
to be in Potions.  As for careers, we all know that Harry wants to 
be an auror, however, he won't be.  I don't think Harry will die in 
book seven, he needs to live to totally defeat Voldemort.  After the 
final climatic battle, Harry will be spent on hunting down Dark 
Wizards.  He'll turn back to something he really loves, Teaching 
DADA.  JKR has said that someone will become a Proffesor at 
Hogwarts.  I used to think that it would be Neville, but after the 
DA meetings this year, Harry seems to love teaching.  I could see 
Hermione working in the Dept of Mysteries, but with her, you never 
know.  Ron will become a professional Quiditich Player.  He has 
finally realized, he can do this and be a good keeper.  He'll get 
hired by the Chuddley Cannons after Hogwarts. I won't get into 
SHIP's here, suffice to say Harry's going to stay away from romantic 
entaglements for a while.  I'll leave some more predictions for 
later.  So what do you think, How did I do on my Divination OWL???
