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

For some reason Hagrid comes to mind.  I've been thinking about this for a few days and I don't know why.  He is close to Dumbledore and we know that he has connections with the Giant world, esp since he now has his brother Grawp.  May be DD will send him on a mission?

> 2.      Who is the Half-Blood Prince? 

Half-Blood I think of people who aren't pure blood wizards, so that leaves out Draco and Sirius.  I'm going to have to say it's someone we haven't been formally introduced to yet.  I don't think it's any of the characters that have always been apart of the story line.

> 3.      What is Lily's big secret? 

I will laugh so hard if her big secret is built up so much that people are disappointed when the really find out what it is...lol  This one I'm really not sure of, my best guess is that she was a DE, like Snape, but LV found out about her being on both sides and therefore went after her because she knew too much...I honestly don't know.

> 4.      Who will be the new DADA teacher? 

Harry...lol(well he probably is better at DADA than any teacher they could hire) I think that I'm going to have to say Lupin will come back.

> 5.      With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 

Well, I honestly think that Hermione and Krum will be an item, after all she is going to his Villa as Skeeter sneakingly found out.  I don't see Harry and Hermione going out, they're too different.  I think Harry will get together with Cho Chang, after she's had some time over the summer to go and see a shrink, I think she'll be fine.

> 6.      Who will be the new Minister of Magic? 

I like the idea of Madame Bones being the next Minstress of Magic.  But, for some reason JKR makes it seem like we are going to be disappointed...yet I don't think it's Umbridge. I'm going with Percy on this one.

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

A pensieve- I think that DD and Harry see something that will happen in it and this causes them to find out about the Half-Blood Prince and thus go and find him to seek his help.

> 8.      Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 

Yes, Harry will take advanced potions.  Everyone knows that people do better at potions when Snape is not around, so I think Harry will just scrape by with the OWL needed for advanced potions or DD will force Snape to teach Harry potions.  Some how I also think Harry ends up in private advanced lessons, whether it's Potions I'm not sure. 

> 9.      Will Neville take Advanced Potions? 

Yes, I think Neville will.  As stated above everyone does better without Snape around. McGonagal even said that the only thing wrong with Neville's work is that he just needs confidence.  Which makes me think that Neville is a great wizard, I think that he will get more OWL's than he thinks and this will give him the confidence that he needs.  We might see a new Neville in this book and I think he'll be just as surprised as us, at the things he can do.

> 10.      How many OWLs did Harry get? 

I think Harry will get 10 OWL's.  Not sure how it will be split up or how they calculate them.  But that number comes to mind.  We all know that Hermione will get a clean sweep on hers.  


> 1. I think Harry will learn that he is actually a descendent of Godric Gryffindor


> 2. We will learn more about Aunt Petunia and Lily's childhood- why Petunia acts so against the WW, but knows so much...may be she's a witch too in disguise? 

> 3. Sirius will come back to help Harry in some form.

> 4. Dumbledore will find some way to get to the Giants and convince them to join his side.

> 5. We will hear more about the connections between the muggle and ww.  Muggles are apart of helping to keep the ww secret, but they also know more that the ww thinks they do. They will end up helping in the war.
