Predictions (0-10 points each):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question 
section. "Negative" predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* come 
skipping into Hogwarts offering free pony rides," will receive no 
credit. Obvious predictions, i.e., "Harry will be in his 6th year at 
Hogwarts," will likewise receive no credit.

1. Harry will take an interest in the Dark Arts and rebel against 
Dumbledore, and he will be encouraged to do so by a voice he hears 
inside his head. This voice may reveal itself to Harry as his 
imaginary childhood friend Tom Riddle. 

2. Harry will struggle with careless and unthinking behaviour at 
several points in the book, Harry will then later show exceptional 
prudence in a fight with Voldemort at the end of the book. 

3. We will find out that Peter Pettigrew was not the spy. Peter did 
not voluntarily go to Voldemort with the information about the 
Potters, Voldemort forced the information out of Peter after he was 
betrayed by the real spy.   

4. We will find out that the house in Godric's Hollow was not blown 
up as a result of the failed AK-curse, the house was blown up as a 
result of Harry using wandless magic to prevent the disembodied 
Voldemort from possessing him. 

5. The Weasley joke shop will play a role as an experimental weapons 
laboratory, producing all sorts of items that will be useful in the 
war against Voldemort.
