How about Black dying, was that suspected?  Rowling on many  occasions  had 
said how much she loved the character of Hagrid.   It was even  publicized 
that 
Robbie Coltrane was only committed to the  movie series up  to book  four.

Chancie:

I thought  I'd start off by replying to this comment.  No, I didn't see it  
comming
but I didn't know anyone was supposed to die at that time either. (I had  
only just
gotten into the books a few months before OOP was released, and hadn't 
gotten into the online HP stuff yet) But also at this time, NONE of the  
Characters
were/are signed for the OOP movie!  When they did the  contract, the book
for OOP hadn't even been released. Mugglenet.com has some  info on this
on their  site.

We now seem, in the  series, to have gone from a trio to a sextet.  Of  
course 
that  doesn't mean they will pair off or that other characters might not  be  
involved, but lets look at the possibilities.  JKR isn't writing  a  porno, 
so 
we can eliminate a Ron/Ginny pairing.  I also believe  her when  she says 
that 
Neville and Luna is not going to happen.   That leaves  the following 
possibilities, assuming all  live:

Harry---Ginny, Luna, Hermione, Cho OC.
Hermione--Harry, Ron,  Neville, Krum, OC.
Ron--Hermione, Luna, OC
Ginny--Harry, Neville,  OC
Neville--Hermione, Ginny, OC
Luna--Harry, Ron,  OC.

Chancie:

Actually  Harry/Cho was to tally squashed by JKR saying 
"they were never  going to be happy. It's better that it ended
early"

Isn't it  interesting that the 'unattractive' Hermione has the most possible  
 
contenders

*****************************

Chancie:

Where  does it say that Hermione is "unattractive"(which I take to mean  
ugly)?  IMO she's described as average looking until the Yule  ball.  Then
she's described as "a pretty girl in blue robes Harry didn't  know"  I don't 
take this to mean that Harry thought she was ugly  before, but that he'd 
never seen her dolled up.  Just because a girl  doesn't spend alot of time
on her hair and make-up doesn't mean she's  ugly.  Everyone has at lest
a few less than perfect features.  I  don't see "bushy hair" and "large front
teeth" to necessarily translate into  "unattractive".

Neil
What was that  conversation Ron and Hermione had really about? 
<snip> I can't believe  that in  the year and a half since the ball, Ron and 
Harry have never  discussed what took place.  Ron and Hermione constantly 
fight, but is  the fighting really  hiding other feelings.  

*****************************

Chancie:

I can believe they  haven't discussed it!  Harry and Ron had just gotten over
a fight, and  he himself says/thinks:

Harry didn't say  anything. He liked being back on speaking terms 
with Ron too  much to speak his mind now--but he somehow thought 
that  Hermione had gotten the point much better than Ron had.

Then there  was Harry having to worry about the TWT, and the Cho/Cedric
relationship,  then the TWT again, then Cedric's death, then Voldemort
getting his body and  his DE's back, then being sent back to the Dursley's
without news, then  Dementors attacking him and Duddly, then dealing with
his Trial and worrying  about being expelled, then Umbridge the toad woman
comes to Hogwarts, then  Hagrid was missing and turning up like he was hit
by a rather large bus, then  Author is attacked, then Occulmency lessons with 
Snape because of his dreams  that he's not supposed to have, then studying 
for O.W.L.s,
then his  dream/vison of Sirius being tortured, and then the whole thing with 
going to  DoM and resulting in Sirus's death.  

With all these things going  on, I can defiantly see where the fact that 
Hermione and Ron had a fight  after the Yule ball could get  overlooked!

Ron and  Hermione constantly fight, but is the fighting really  
hiding other  feelings.  

***********************************

Chancie:

Yep!!!

********************************

Neil
know  many people ship H/G, but what,  besides her crush, has shown any  
connection between the two.  I realize  Harry saved her from the  chamber, 
but I 
feel he would have saved  anyone,

*******************************

Chancie:

I am not  as certain about the Harry/Ginny SHIP as I am about Ron/Hermione,
but they do  have alot more going for them besides the points you listed.

Ginny is the  ONLY one Harry knows who has been in a situation involving
Voldemort/Riddle  and can relate to how he feels.  She is the only one
able to calm him  down after over hearing the discussion in St. Mungo's about
Author's  attack.  Hermione tried to calm him, but nothing worked until Ginny 
 
stepped in to say something. He felt better, not that many people have that  
effect on Harry, and I think that's a big point for the H/G  ship.

*********************************

Neil
Hasn't Rowling  said that Krum will make a  reappearance in 
the story.   Truthfully, as she originally was described,  Hermione seemed 
best  suited for Neville.   

***********************************

Chancie:

Yes, JKR did  say that Krum would return, but Where did she say
Hermione and Neville were  suited for  eachother?

***********************************

Neil
I  feel that the final defeat of Voldemort will  actually 
be cased by  Hermione.  It just seems right that the mudblood  should have a 
big  
part in bringing him down.  The question is whether she will die doing  so.  
The only couple I'm predicting is N/G.   Neville will  also become a Hogwarts 
Professor.  

************************************

Chancie:

I have no  doubt that Hermione will contribute to the end of Voldemort,
but Harry is the  hero.  It will be him who has the most involved in the 
battle.  I  could also see Nevile becoming a herbology Professor, or 
even another  subject (there are still 2 years to go).  But I don't agree
with  N/G.  Ginny seems to have no romantic interest in Nevile, and I  don't
really think Nevile is really into Ginny that way.  I think that  they are 
friends
and they possible could get together a LONG time from now  (things can always 
change right?), but I see nothing pointing to a ship in  the near future


nothing that points to a ship
