I missed the original post(s) in this thread, and I'm too lazy to look it  
up, so forgive me if I'm just repeating earlier statements.
 
Ever since it was made clear that Fudge would soon be the ex-MoM, my wife  
and I have had a continuing argument about this.  I insist that Nicholas  Flamel 
would seem the obvious choice for the new Minister of Magic.  He has  the 
twin advantages of name recognition and being closely associated  with Dumbledore 
while not being Dumbledore (who certain factions in  the Ministry would 
certainly oppose).  My wife, on the other hand, insists  that Flamel died shortly 
after Book 1.  There is absolutely no canon on  whether he is alive or dead, 
and if JKR is thinking along the same lines as I  am, there is no reason why 
Flamel could not still be alive.
 
[Wifey has not been interested in discussing the matter since JKR announced  
that the new MoM would not be Arthur Weasley.]  ::snicker::
