What fun,  I just couldn't resist joining in...

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

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? 
Dumbledore

3. What is Lily's big secret? 
NOt sure there is one, but I hope we find out if all the harping 
about her eyes really means anything.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?
Dumbledore? NO, I'll go with someone new: the old lion guy (who 
either is Felix or uses the Felix spell)

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?
No one important in this book, but his relationship with Ginny will 
deepen in prep for year 7.  ROmantic/comedic moments will center 
around others for this book.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Amos Diggory

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?
For his sake I hope not, he needs to get away from Snape.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?
 Seven


Predictions (0-10 points each):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question
section. 

1. Ron & Hermione will finally make some tentative steps toward a 
relationship, but Viktor's return may complicate things.

2. There won't be any "good Slytherins" (though I hope this one 
isn't true)

3. Harry is Quidditch captain (he's an experienced player and a good 
leader - and it might not hurt to give him more leadership 
experience - though I guess Katie will still be there, so maybe 
she'll get it).

4. Ron will finally be useful in a confrontation/battle and not just 
along for moral support(since PS/SS).  Ditto for Ginny, two-time 
victim/target.

5.  The new DADA teacher will die.
