1.  Who will be the most major character to die? 
No major character death. There will be some minor characters deaths, including a character introduced in HBP. Madame Rosmerta and/or the shopkeeper of Honeydukes is also going to die

2.  Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old 
Lion Guy," describe 
more.) 
Felix Felicis. Felix Felicis(the lion guy) is a king by right, but he's in exile. He travels far and wide, has plenty of practical defence experiences. His adventure with vampire was "borrowed" by Lockhart. He accidentally shared some immortality facts with Voldemort, that helped Voldemort with whatever he was doing in trying to avoid death. After Lockhart was finished with him, however, he forgot about all this. In book 6, he will remember, or re-learn his past life, but he will lose his claim to the throne. And oh...at some point he was Tom Riddle's cat when Tom was at school (Felix is an animagus. He's also married to McGonagall). And of course, Voldemort wants to kill  him because he knows to much.

3.  What is Lily's big secret? (This question 
will be eliminated and 
full credit given to everyone if no big secret is 
revealed.) 
Why Voldemort was willing to spare her. I'm not sure this is going to be covered in HBP tho...probably in book 7.

4.  Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
A new character, the lion guy whose name is Felix Felicis. See answer for question 2

5.  With whom will Harry have a romantic 
relationship? 
No one. Not in HBP anyway. There will be love interest(Susan Bones) , but no definite relationship.

6.  Who will be the new Minister of Magic? 
When Fudge is voted out of office, someone from the Wizengamot, probably Griselda Marchbank, is going to be an interim Minister. Then Amelia Bones will be chosen as the new Minister of magic.


7.  What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP 
cover? 
A spring or just a water basin. The water contained has magical property (s) of course


8.  Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 
Yes

9.  Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 
Yes


10. How many OWLs did Harry get? 
9

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. Only 
your first 5 
predictions will be evaluated and included in 
your score.

1. On Halloween, something that's going to start whatever the story point of HBP is,  is going to happen.

2. We will discover the secret(s) contained in Forbidden Forest, that warrant its name. Harry will again be saved by the Ford Anglia. Oh, and of course Aragog and his brood are going to make an appearance (sigh, I hate spiders!)

3. We will find out more about the Vanishing Cabinet. This cabinet has been around since the Founder's time, it belonged to Godric Gryffindor. It is going to play a role in defeating Voldemort.

4. Harry is not going to Hogwarts on Hogwarts Express, rather, he'll be taking an underground tunnel there.

5. There will be an attack in Hogsmeade, Death Eater will try to get into Hogwarts from the Honeydukes tunnel.
