Being that I am getting excited for the big day, I've started 
compiling my thoughts for what I believe will happen in HBP.  I know 
that generally, these things have been discussed many times, but I  
wanted to put my thoughts together and to read some of your 
compliled thoughts on HBP as well.  With that said, my preditions 
follow.

In General
I think that HBP will continue with a dark theme similar to that of 
OOP; however, in regards to Harry, I am thinking (and hoping) that 
he has come to terms with some of his anger issues.  Now that he 
knows the full story of what is going on around him, I think this is 
much more possible that it was in the past.  He will struggle with 
the idea of being "the one that can vanquish the Dark Lord," but 
possibly (by the middle of the book), he will come to terms with 
that and accept that this is his destiny.  He may get some intense 
training from Dumbledore and possibly Snape on some very advance 
magic, as everyone already knows he is capable of - corporeal 
patronus.

Romance
The tension between Ron and Hermione will continue to mount - 
although I think this will move to a more non-argumentative 
tension.  Near the end of the book, I see a few kisses coming on 
between them.

As for Harry, I hope that Ginny is the one for him.  Although, Ginny 
will most likey move from boyfriend to boyfriend throughout book 6 
until realizing that she still cares for Harry.  I do believe that 
Harry will start seeing Ginny as someone more than just "Ron's 
sister" before Ginny starts liking Harry again.  I think that Ginny 
is very good for Harry.  There was possible foreshadowing in OOP 
when Ginny proved to be the only one who could get Harry out of the 
funk he was in over the "possession" misunderstanding.  His 
occasional anger outburts did not ruffle her feathers like it did 
the others.  I do hope they get together by the end of this book and 
continue to book 7 - getting even more steady and serious.
