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

I'm picking Albus Dumbledore for this one, although I think one or 
more of the Weasleys are in danger (perhaps Molly?)


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

I picking someone related to Harry – so I'm saying `the old lion guy' 
who I'm predicting will somehow be related to Harry through his 
father's side.

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

If there is a big secret, I think it will be something to do with 
Lily and Petunia's relationship. It will be related to Lily's eyes 
and the protection she gave Harry when she died.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?

Dumbledore.

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?

I think he might be pushed/ encouraged into a relationship (of sorts) 
with Ginny by Ron (and perhaps other Weasleys) but this will be 
shortlived. Ultimately I think his serious relationship will be with 
Hermione in book 7. I also think we'll see Harry examining his 
feelings for Hermione by the end of the book (as his subconscious 
feelings become more conscious). This will cause friction with Ron.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?

Amelia Bones

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

Dumbledore's pensieve.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?

Yes.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?

No.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?

7

Predictions

1. Ron will make a move on Hermione in some way and be turned down. 
This may take the form of one date or a talk or something similar 
that is related to us only `after-the-fact'.

2. Ron and Harry will experience a serious rift in their friendship 
with each other (more serious than the GoF fight). Harry will be 
Quidditch captain and this rift will play itself out somehow on the 
Quidditch field.

3. The time-turner will be back (or some other form of time travel 
will play a role)

4. Wormtail will return and we'll see his life-debt to Harry play 
itself out.

5. We'll learn about a secret Hermione's been keeping. There may be 
information about her parents that comes as a surprise. I think too 
that Hermione will be in danger in this book from a surprise attack 
or perhaps to a personal attack by Rita.

That's it for me! :)
