Hi:

I don't know if anyone has brought this up yet. But I was
wondering what everyone though about the fact that Harry Potter
predicts his future correctly in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
(Book #4).

Well in Chapter Fourteen (14) Harry and Ron are supposed to
predict what was going to happen to them in the next week using the
book "Unfogging the Future" for Divination class. But because of
all there homework and stuff, they decide to "fake it". But does
Harry really fake it? Harry starts inventing all kinds of things
that are supposedly going to happen to him in the next week. But
when you keep reading the book, if you keep in mind those
predictions, it¡¦s obvious that there true, they don't happen in
just one week, but they occurred little by little in the school
year.

Just for those that don¡¦t remember them here they go:

1. "Okay... on Monday, I will be in danger of - er -
burns.".

[Further on in the book, Harry has to fight Dragons in the first
task of the Triwizard Tournament, which explains his danger of being
burned.]
----------
2. "Lose a treasured possession," said Harry, who was flicking
through Unfogging the Future for ideas. "Good one," said Ron

[This one got me a little confused, because the way it's written,
its like Harry suggested it to Ron. But Harry loses a treasured
possession in the second task, he loses Ron at the bottom of the
lake, were he has to save him to win.]
----------
3."Why don't you get stabbed in the back by someone you thought was
a friend"

[This one was suggested to Harry by Ron. After Harry's name is
pulled out of the Goblet of Fire, you could say Ron stabbed him in
the back, because he doesn't believe that Harry when he says that he
didn¡¦t put his name in there.]
----------
4. "And on Wednesday, I think I'll come off worse in a fight."

[Harry does come out worse in a fight, well in this case in the
second task; he is the last one to leave the lake.]
------------
5. Harry laid down his quill too, having just finished predicting
his own death by decapitation.

[This prediction doesn't come true obviously, because Harry is still
alive. This one is mentioned a few paragraphs after the others. I
don't remember at the end of the book, Harry almost being
decapitated by Lord Voldemort, or anyone else. So I don't know were
that one comes into the book at any time.]

That's were my big confusion kicks in, is Harry Potter going to
die at the end of the books by being decapitated by Lord Voldemort?
And can Harry predict his future?

Thanks for listening (reading), please leave a comment, I want
to know what other people think.
