1. Who will be the most major character to die? 
Peter Pettigrew. I can't bear to predict that anyone good will die. (But who 
decides whether one character is more major than another? Is Charlie, for 
instance, more major than Bill? What if they both die?)

2.  Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," describe 
more.) 
Salazar Slytherin. (Hey, if Voldemort is a half-blood, why not Slytherin 
himself?)

3.  What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated and 
full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.) 
Before she dated James, she had a muggle boyfriend: Vernon Dusley. At the 
time he was quite charming, but after she broke up with him he hated all 
things magical. (I hope I'm wrong!) 

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
The old lion guy. He will be a great teacher. Physical disabilities seem to be 
characteristic of good characters in HP.

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 
Eloise Midgen, whose skin has cleared up. 

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

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 
I haven't actually seen the picture, so I'm going to agree with the masses that 
it's a pensieve.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 
Oh yes.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 
No.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get? 
8.


Predictions (0-10 points each): 

1. At least one giant will show up at Hogwarts to join the good guys. The rest 
will join Voldemort. 

2. Hermione is sick all year as a result of her injuries in the Dept of Mysteries, 
but doesn't let it stop her from her usual activities. 

3. Luna makes a pest of herself. (I'm sorry, I know Jo loves her, but she 
annoys me). 

4. Percy does not seek forgiveness from his family, and they remain divided. (I 
know it's a negative prediction, but I think it's a solid one). 

5. Draco becomes depressed, and starts to behave entirely differently than he 
has up to now. He has no interest in bossing around Crabbe and Goyle—he 
is simply preoccupied with worrying about his father in Azkaban.
