Compulsory Questions (0-5 points each).


Alla: Love prediction games. :-) 

TP: 
1.	Who will be the most major character to die?

Alla:   In HBP - everything points to Dumbledore, but I don't think 
that it will be him. I think that one or more Weasleys will probably 
die in HBP.

TP:
2.	Who is the Half-Blood Prince? (If "The Old Lion Guy," 
describe more.) 

Alla: Godric Gryffindor, who could be the Old Lion guy.

TP:
3.	What is Lily's big secret? (This question will be eliminated 
 and full credit given to everyone if no big secret is revealed.) 

Alla: I am inclined to say that there will be no big secret, unless 
we will indeed count research of "blood protection magic" as big 
secret.

TP:
4.	Who will be the new DADA teacher? 

Alla: The Old Lion Guy, if he is not Godric Gryffindor. If he is 
Godric, then new character

TP:
5.	With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 

Alla: he will not have romantic relationship with Hermione, that I 
am positive of, unless Ron is dead at the end.
Anybody else is fair game for now. I would say Ginny is most likely, 
but Luna or Susan Bones or any "just name" character are also 
possibilities.

TP:
6.	Who will be the new Minister of Magic? 

Alla: Amelia Bones

TP:
7.	What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 

Alla: Somebody's Pensieve.

TP:
8.	Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 

Alla: 99.99% certainty.

TP:
9.	Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 

Alla: Yes.

TP:
10.	How many OWLs did Harry get? 

Alla: He definitely got the major ones, including Potions, otherwise-
 no idea.

 
Tigerpatronus:
Predictions (0-10 points each): 
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question 
section. "Negative" predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* come 
skipping into Hogwarts offering free pony rides," will receive no 
credit. Obvious predictions, i.e., "Harry will be in his 6th year at 
Hogwarts," will likewise receive no credit. 

Alla:
 
1. We will see Sirius again in some shape or form in the present of 
the books.

2. Ron will  be discovered to have some  kind of interesting 
ability. Being a Seer seems likely enough to me.

3. Harry will demonstrate Metamorphmagus ability.

4.  Remus will be cured . ( Sigh, OK it is my wish more than a 
prediction, but we do have some possible hint for that, right? After 
all Gilderoy did describe it in his book, even he was not the one 
who actually did it. :-))

5.  Dumbledore will give Harry some kind of tutoring.
