I've been surprised at the number of predictions for
Amelia Bones as the new Minister of Magic. From what
little we've seen of her, I think she would be a
very good one.
However, JKR answers a question about the new Minister
on her website in the FAQ section: Will Arthur Weasley
become the new Minister? 
Alas, No.

I believe that the new MoM will be Amos Diggory. The MoM
needs one more arrogant moron to run things until they
are totally discredited as buffoons. (btw I would not be
suprised if there is some vampire blood in him, which may
be why Cedric wanted Harry to bring his body back to
his parents in GOF)

I've also thought the new Minister might be Dumbledore,
and it's unfortunate that  he isn't still Headmaster.
But based on DD's comments at the end of OoP, I don't
think that's the case either.

Albus reinstated himself after he ordered Fudge to boot
out Umbridge. The reinstatement was reported in the
Daily Profit (sic) at start of last chapter of OOP

That wording seems to mean that there is something
unfortunate about the new choice for Minister. That is,
it would have been better if it had been Arthur.
It could also mean that unfortunately, something has
happened to Arthur. We know that Harry will leave
Privet Drive for a more pleasant 
reason than a trial,(as in OoP) so I don't think HBP
will start with something bad at the Weasley home.

I don't think so either.... to much else is going on
in the WW.
I think the first chapter will tell us what happened at
GH since that will fill in a lot of the backstory needed
to move Book 6 onward before the final Harry-Voldemort
confrontation in the first half of Book 7.
Then in chapter two the second war will really get
rolling. RIP Luna's Dad. Welcome to Privet Drive, Luna!
