Hello all, 

I'm new to this site, as I needed to find somewhere to discuss things I've 
noticed and taken notes of, thing is I don't know whether anyone else has 
posted such things, so forgive me if I'm digging up old bones. 

First point - Heliopaths? I've searched in the archives for the word but no 
result, so - Luna Lovegood tells Hermione in the Hogs Head in book 5 that 
these 'spirits of fire' are part of Fudge's private army. Is this a crazy idea 
Luna picked up from her dad? Or has this got truth behind it, Luna's a slippery 
fish like that. JK said that there's a massive clue to what happens in the next 
books, and this is the only thing that sticks out for me. 

Second point - In book 4 we learn that in year 6 of Transfiguration the 
students learn how to transfigure themselves into anything, Krum turned himself 
into a shark during one task, but wasn't very good. So, with this newfound 
skill it could prove to become useful for Harry...

Third point - I'm not sure, but are Angelina Johnson and another great chunk of 
the Gryffindor Quidditch team leaving at the end of book 5? This would leave 
the Quidditch captain position wide open for Harry... but I'm not sure. 

Book 6 will show all, I'm sorry if I'm wasting any time.
