HBP Contest Predictions [includes one cover art SPOILER!]

[cookiemacster]

No: HPFGUIDX 132394

Compulsory Questions (0-5 points each):

1. Who will be the most major character to die?
Hagrid, possibly in an attempt to save Dumbledore 
from harm.

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy,"
describe more.)
Godric Gryffindor or Felix Felicis


3. What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated
and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.)
She was an unspeakable, which will prove to be an important 
revalation.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
Felix Felicis, who is the "old Lion guy". This is my reasoning for 
thinking this: Felicis comes from the word Felis which means feline. 
When I read the description JKR gave I thought of a cat and then the 
chapter name led me to beleive the description was about this 
Felicis character. I keep going back on this idea of mine(that FF is 
the new DADA teacher) because it seems he is brought into the book 
further along into the story. Hmmm.... 

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
Ginny in the end, possibly having short flings in the beginning

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Amelia Bones, who else is there???

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
A Penseive, belonging to either Harry's parents or the Hogwarts 
Founders.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
yes

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
Yes

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
10



Predictions (0-10 points each):

1. Ron will be made Quidditch Captain, making his vision in the 
mirror of erised closer to being real. Harry will be back as seeker, 
Ginny will be a chaser, Ron keeper, and I really want Neville to 
join the team; that could prove to be interesting!!!

2. The graveyard behind the school will finally make an appearance. 
It will be the site of the dark mark as shown on the back of the US 
cover. We will finally get to visit Godric's Hollow, even if just 
through a penseive.

3. Harry and Hermione will share a romantic moment which will make 
Ron jealous, thus putting a strain on the trio's friendship. Ron 
will come out in the open about his feelings for Hermione and they 
will finally start dating. In the meantime Harry will embrace some 
new Warm fuzzy feelings for Ginny!!! (One can dream...)

4. This Felix Felicis will join the Order.

5. Harry will "inherit" Grimmauld Place but he won't really want 
anything to do with the place.

Ok, well, I hope my time spent gazing into the depths of my crystal 
ball have paid off a little; maybe one or two of those are remotely 
close to being plaussible!
