Predictions (0-10 points each): 

> 1. Hagrid and Mme Maxime will get married at the beginning of the book. Harry will be in the wedding party.

> 5. Neville becomes a Beater on the Quidditch team. His place is to be protecting Harry by taking on Crabbe and Goyle just like he did in first year during the match against Hufflepuff.
