[Hagrid]

No: HPFGUIDX 131905

aussie:
> 1. Who will be the most major character to die?
Dumbledore. But I'd also like to see Hagrid go. He is my fav, but 
I'd hate JKR to suprise us with Dark conections if he lives to #7.

> 2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy,"
> describe more.)
HBP is not a WHO, but a WHAT ... like a law's title. (eg. saving the 
life of another wizard makes you entitled to the HBP law and he is 
endebted to you)

> 3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated
> and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.)
The EYES. Seems like those green eyes didn't run in the fam as far 
as Petunia. Dobby has green eyes though. Did Lilly accidently try 
Pollyjuice potion with House Elf essnce same way Hermoine got cat 
hairs. 

> 4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
A New Character. This is an African wizard who, instead of an owl, 
uses a colorful "fwooper"(see "Fantastic Beasts"). This wizard with 
the colorful bird gave a safe haven to Black at the start of GOF. 

> 5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
His broom. He is too worried about how LV was controlling him in OOP 
to risk someone he may be romantically drawn to.

> 6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Bones

> 7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
A Pensieve. Dumbledore is teaching Harry how to collect and store 
his own thoughts to view them objectively

> 8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
Definately. Yes. How can JKR keep Harry / Snape / Draco separated 
for a whole book

> 9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
No. Herbology and DADA, Yes, but he has no love nor interest in 
Potions - class or teacher.

> 10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
His patronus earned bonus points in DADA to Dux that subject. 
Potions gains bare minimum to keep going for Auror goals. At least 3 
more thatn the best of the twins

> Predictions (0-10 points each):

> section. 
> 
> 1. Hagrid has a flying carpet. I can't see another way he could 
have arrived to pick up Harry at age 1 or 11.

> 2. Madame Maxime sends Hagrid a Graphorn hide. (see "Fantastic 
Beasts") They are big enough for Trolls to ride, and skins repell 
spells better than Dragon hides do. Just the perfect romantic gift 
to a half giant.

> 3. Crabb and Goyle will not get enough OWLs to continue studies at 
Hogwarts. Draco will find a new ally in the teenage child of the new 
DADA teacher. 

> 4. It is revealed what happened to make DD trust Snape so much. DD 
said in POA, "Pettigrew owes his life to you. You have sent 
Voldemort a deputy who is in your debt.... When one wizard saves 
another wizard's life, it creates a certain bond between them". 
Likewise, Snape saved DD or DD's brother.

> 5. Trelawney will be the target of DE since the origin of the 
prophesey holds it's secret
