You're probably right. I seemed to remember it was
something around ten or eleven, which would make her a
suitable age now. If she was 8, then no way she can
come back as a romantic interest, unless Harry
appreciated her age wrong or a Veela ages at different
speed than normal people. She would have been a good
choice, not a new character but somebody we don't know
very well just yet.

Another prediction I like a lot is Amos Diggory for
MoM. It would make for quite an interesting story.

Ron is Ron, I haven't seen Harry meeting such
revelations yet. He notices that Parvati looks very
pretty indeed and Hermione seems different at the Yule
Ball, but it is still Cho he is keen on. He saw Luna
last year for the first time, he had a chance to
notice how attractive she is, if he ever will. He saw
the new Ginny and it didn't move him in any way. He
sees Susan every week, for that matter. It's true that
he might not make his next choice based on looks
alone, as he did with Cho. Or perhaps one girl will
get hold of him and steer him through the motions of a
romantic involvement. We have seen Parvati doing it
with the dance steps.

We can go maverick together (which would make for an
exemplary oxymoron) and say that Harry will meet
Gabrielle again and fall for her scar over heels, but
since she is too young, he will have to stay single
for a while yet and wait for her.
