Predictions (0-10 points each):

1. Sirius Black will be revealed to be very much alive. His 'death' was deliberate and carefully planned in order to enable him to learn the secret of Voldemort's own resurrection and so enable Harry to conquer Voldemort in Book 7.  Only Lupin knew of Sirius' plan which was concocted during the months of 'inaction' at Grimmauld Place.  Harry and the mirror will both be instrumental in bringing Sirius back from beyond the veil. 


2. Sirius will bring news and/or assistance from Harry's parents and from other dead Order of the Phoenix members behind the veil.


3. The 'Half-Blood Prince' refers to a person half living-half dead, or who has been resurrected from the dead, or who has been resurrected using a half-blood's blood (Harry's). The HBP is therefore Sirius.

4. Neville will have been traumatised by having heard the prophesy and believing that it may have referred to him.  This will lead him to do something very stupid toward the end of Book 6 (such as taking on VM himself).

5. Harry will fail DADA following Umbridge's intervention in his practical exam. "As Harry exited the exam he noticed a strange smile playing on Umbridge's lips". Possibly Umbridge placed the examiner under the Imperious curse.  As a result, Harry is unable to take advanced DADA and rethinks his career as an Auror, choosing to become and Unspeakable instead.  Harry continues to give practical lessons in DADA however, and becomes a firm friend of the new DADA teacher Viktor Krum.

Comments? Suggestions?

Love the idea of a quiz.  May the most fantastic predictions win!
