Book Seven Predictions

No: HPFGUIDX 134113

Why not start the fun early?

Probably some (most?) of these will be way off-base, but don't read if you
don't want to see possibilities for book seven.  There are a lot of clues
out there by now.   








1. RAB is Regulus (Adolphus?) Black.

2. The locket that would not open at 12GP is the horcrux stolen by RAB.

3. Hedwig will die.

4. Fawkes will "join" Harry.  (You cannot own a Phoenix, but Harry has
earned Fawkes' loyalty.)

5. DD will have left most things to Harry, including the pensieve, which
Harry will use to finally finish his education.

6. Harry WILL be at Hogwarts for his seventh year, but he'll not take the
NEWTS, because he is away too much.

7. Harry's scar is the seventh horcrux, created by the AK rebounding from
Lily's sacrificial love, captured by LV's intention to create a horcrux, and
locked into the scar, neither apart from Harry nor within him.  So his soul
is pure, but he nevertheless has a soul-connection with LV through the scar.

8. The destruction of the scar will be the final step in destroying LV.
Harry fully expects this will kill him, but goes ahead anyway.  It does not
kill him, but it does remove much of his power as a wizard.  At the end, his
abilities are somewhat close to Neville's -- not too shabby, but not great.

9. Aberforth Dumbledore will take over as head of the OotP.  He may or may
not give up being innkeeper at the Hogshead.   He will NOT be Headmaster at
Hogwarts.

10. Harry will be obsessed with killing Snape, and his obsession will result
in the death of someone he cares about.  

11. Harry will finally learn Occlumency, so that the next time he duels
Snape, SS will not be able to tell what spell he is about to cast.  

12. Harry will also learn Legilimancy, and turn out to be quite gifted at
it.

13. Harry will finally defeat Snape, and use Legilimancy to find out why DD
trusted SS, that SS was following DD's orders when he killed him, and that
SS is on his side after all.  Harry will refrain from killing SS at that
point, but it will be too late.  As part of the process, he will have
exposed SS, who is then killed by either LV or one of the DEs.

14. Harry will learn from his invasion of Snape's mind that Snape loved
Lily, that LV's intention to kill the Potters was what turned SS back to DD,
and that Harry's having James' face but Lily's eyes are the main reason why
Snape hates Harry so much.  Harry will finally understand this when he sees
this through Snape's memories -- but by then it will be too late.

15. Harry will finally travel to GH, where he will reconstruct what happened
when his parents died.  He MAY find horcruxes corresponding to Lily's and
James' murders there in the rubble.  (Actually, LV would have had them
removed after his resurrection, unless DD placed powerful protective charms
around the place.)

16. Nagini is a horcrux.  LV owned her long before he killed the Potters.  

17. (WAG) Nagini was at 12GP with LV, and one of the murders of Harry's
parents caused that horcrux to be created within Nagini.

18. Ginny will help Harry destroy Nagini, partly because she is a
Parselmouth, from her experiences in CoS.

19. Harry will spend much of book seven away from Hogwarts, chasing down
horcruxes and learning how to destroy them.

20. Ron will finally mature in book seven, and start showing real leadership
in the fight against LV, while Harry is away.  He, rather than Harry, will
be the King figure, and Ron/Hermione will finally make sense as a couple.

21. Ginny will be the final demonstration of selfless love for Harry, when
she saves his life by giving hers for his.   At the end, however, she will
not have died, but she will provide the love needed to finally destroy LV.  

22. Ginny will bring a nearly lifeless Harry out of the destruction that
results from the final confrontation, so that he will survive once again,
only because of her love.

23. Percy Weasley will be killed, either because he was recruited by the DEs
and then repented, or because of Harry's misjudgment/obsession.

24. Ginny and Harry will finally settle down to make their garden grow.
(Voltaire reference)

25. Ron and Hermione will move to the forefront in leading the WW.  Ron will
appear to be on a fast track towards becoming MoM.  Hermione will become a
Healer.

That's enough to start with, anyway
