So, this is the last part of my long theory. (Sorry for length guys)
Lets begin by summarising what we have discovered in Parts 1 and 2.
1. The first six books of the Harry Potter series form two triads of
stories which mirror each other to form a kind of
literary `hexagram'.
2. The second three mirror and inflate events in the first three.
Events in the second three books therefore will be more severe than
in the first books. For instance - VapourMort in PS/SS mirrored by a
returned-to-power Voldemort in GoF; Lucius rigging it so Dumbledore
has to leave Hogwarts in CoS mirrored by Dumbledore being forced to
flee the Ministry itself in OoTP; and so on.
3. The titles of the first three will be mirrored by the titles of
the second three.
With this in mind, we should be able to make some predictions of
what will happen in Book 6.
Just to reiterate if this is correct, Book 7 will stand alone.
Part 3: Prisoner of Azkaban and Book 6
What were the main events in PoA?
1.Harry blows up his Aunt Marge and runs away from Privet Drive. He
is picked up the Knight Bus.
2.Harry escapes punishment for using magic outside Hogwarts
3.Dementors are sent to Hogwarts to search for the escaped prisoner
Sirius Black; Hogwarts is therefore in danger
4.We learn that Harry's life may be in danger
5.We are introduced to Professor Lupin, the new DADA teacher and one
of James Potter's best friends
6.Ron and Hermione have a falling-out over their pets; Ron and Harry
have a falling-out with Hermione over Harry's broom
7.Harry is taught a difficult spell by Professor Lupin which he
masters despite its advanced nature (the Patronus)
8.Harry inherits the Marauder's Map
9.Professor Trelawny makes a real prediction
10.Harry learns a lot about his parents and their death
11.Ron is seriously injured when Sirius drags him into the Whomping
Willow and when Wormtail escapes
12.Moony, Padfoot and Wormtail are reunited
13.We are introduced to the Time-turner
14.Harry and Hermione go for a ride on Buckbeak
15.Sirius Black is not who Harry thought he was (i.e. guilty of
betraying his parents)
16.Harry uses his new learnt skill (Patronus) to save the day
17.Harry and Hermione save an innocent man
OK, so what does this tell us? I'm open to all suggestions here
people (let your imaginations go):
1.Firstly, I'm predicting that Harry will leave Privet Drive of his
own accord. He won't be there long and I'm predicting he'll probably
leave because he's in some sort of danger.
2.I think Hogwarts will come under attack. I think Voldemort will
make a play for the school and Harry and co will be forced to defend
it. (An exaggerated version of the Dementors at the school in PoA).
3.I think Harry will learn a key new skill (perhaps he'll master
Occlumency?) but it will be the key to saving the school at the end
of the book. (An exaggerated version of the Patronus in PoA).
4.I think the DADA teacher will be key to Harry learning this new
skill and will be someone from Harry's side perhaps Dumbledore
himself??
5.The trio will come under severe pressure I think we will
actually see some evolution and movement in their relationships with
each other.
6.Look for Ron to be in some mortal danger. If he was so seriously
injured in PoA, then he's going to come under a huge attack in Bk 6.
In fact, if the chess game (PS) and the Whomping Willow scene are to
be believed, I believe it could be Bellatrix who does it. Whether he
dies or not, I'm not really sure. Let's hope not.
7.Wormtail will definitely figure again. The life-bond between him
and Harry will come into play here.
8.Harry will tell Ron and Hermione about the prophecy. There could
be some evolution here on what part it will have to play in the
final book.
9.The time-turner will once again become important. Perhaps we will
see a further use of the concept explored in the Department of
Mysteries as well.
10.Buckbeak will be back (I'd almost put money on it) and will play
a role.
11.Harry will learn something new about his parents and/ or his past.
12.Harry (and team) will be directly responsible for saving the
school, setting us up for a HUGE book 7.
