[HPforGrownups] Fishing for ideas

I have some questions to throw out to the group - kind of a fishing trip - so to speak....

 

How many people would a train like the Hogwarts Express be able to carry?  I have never been on a train and do not know.  Do all students have to arrive by train or can they arrive other ways?  This will help to put an end to the 250/1000 student debate.

 

We have heard references of students switching schools.  Is there anything in canon in it other than Malfoy saying that his father would switch him if things did not go his way?

 

Halloween plays a very important part in all of the books.  HP parents killed on Halloween, Troll loose, deathday party, picture slashed, name comes out of GoF, Hogsmead trip when DA started.  What can we expect of the next two Halloweens?

 

Wands choose the wizard.  How?

 

We have had a lot lately about Ron=DD.  I tend to lean toward Percy=DD.  The name is in there.  Percy will do something now that he is with the MoM  that he feels that he needs to go back and fix.  Any ideas?

 

Time is a big theme in all of the books and has come out forcefully with the newest movie.  Each book looks at a different aspect of time.  Where will the time threads lead from here?

 

What will Dudley's reaction to HP be when he comes home?  Has Petunia explained to the family that HP actually saved Dudley's life?

 

We have the Map and the Cloak.  Are there going to be any other surprises left behind by the infamous 4?

 

What ever happened to Percy's girlfriend?  (Penelope Clearwater)

 

Where is the flying motorcycle?  I have heard that it will play a part in the next books.

 

"...And never did they dream that they Might someday be divided, For were there such friends anywhere As Slytherin and Gryffindor?  Unless it was the second pair Of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw?  So how could it have gone so wrong?  How could such frienships fail?..."     Sorting Hat (OotP  US)      So what did go wrong, especially with Slytherin and Gryffindor since they were best friends?

 

I am sure that many of these have already been discussed, but with the perspective of the new things that we have learned, would anyone like to weigh in with ideas?

Also, the posting about the Uncovering the Hidden Pattern.  I do not remember who mentioned it, but I tried to look it up in the archives and could not find it.  I would love to read the post.  Could anyone give me any info on how to find it?

 

Thanks you guys!!
