Compulsory Questions:
1. Who will be the most major character to die?
Vernon Dursley. Also, one of the Creevey brothers will die,
probably Dennis.
2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince?
Hagrid. JKR said that COS held a key regarding this question. My
question is: Why did Riddle want to get rid of Hagrid just
because he wasn't a `pure-blood'? I don't think so. There's more
to this than we know. I think Hagrid's mother was the Queen of the
Giants.
3. What is Lily's big secret?
Lily knew about Lupin and had been helping him. It was thru this
effort that she finally understood what James and his friends had
gone thru to `protect' Lupin. Her heart softened, and let James
in. The big secret is that Lupin really cared deeply for Lily and
though she cared for him just as much, it wasn't `that' kind of love
to her.
4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
So far it has always been a new character, being introduced for the
first time. I don't think this formula will change.
5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
Luna Lovegood. The ending of OOP gave us a clue that he sees her
through different eyes. Perhaps by the end of HBP we'll start
seeing Harry look at Ginny differently as well.
6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Dolores Jane Umbridge, who had previously been the undersecretary to
the Minister. To keep the drama going, there has to be someone
inept in this position. Hem, Hem, that said, Dolores would be the
perfect person for the job.
7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover?
It's definitely a pensive, but it doesn't look like Professor
Dumbledore's. His was never described as cracked. Obviously, it
will be pivotal to the plot, though.
8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?
Definitely. Without Snape's constant interruptions, Harry did well
on his O.W.L.s
9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
He has no interest in continuing with potions. If he does continue,
it will be due to a relationship between Herbology and potions.
10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
Nine.
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.
1. Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall are husband and
wife.
2. It will be discovered that Kreacher had placed a potion in the
food/drink Sirius ate/drank, one that would make him very reckless.
It built up over a period of time, to the point that instead of
protecting himself in the fight in the Dept. of Mysteries, that he
actually thought he was infallible.
3. Whether it will come out in HBP or in Book 7, Snape was actually
fostering Harry's inability to keep Voldemort out of his head. Not
just because he got a kick out of it, but also because he needed to
keep the dark lord thinking that he was on his side.
4. Harry and Ginny will get together, but probably not till Book 7.
5. Dobby will play an important role in the last book.
6. Barty Crouch, Jr. is alive and well, and should be in HBP,
although still using Polyjuice potion to further Voldemort's aims.
