No: HPFGUIDX 128850

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

McGonagall, but it's hard to quantify which character
is most important.

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

Salazar Slytherin.

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

She worked in the DoM, in the Death chamber. She knew,
or was very close to know, technical means to achieve
immortality (other than PS, perhaps a perpetual
rebirth, Phoenix-like).

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?

Professor Flitwick. One of the twins will teach
Charms. Nobody will know which :-)

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?

Luna. It will come as a major surprise for both of
them.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?

Ludo Bagman. He'll charm his way through so that he'll
acquire immunity from goblins.

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

An object from the Chamber of Secrets, part of the
statue or one of the snake pillars or a fountain that
hasn't been described (as far as I remember).

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?

Yes.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?

Yes.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?

8.

Predictions

1. Dudley will start to ask Harry questions about
magic. Harry will recruit Dudley for the good cause,
and by the end of the books at least Petunia, if not
Vernon as well, will become the biggest fans of the
wizarding world.

2. Centaurs will make a choice of giving up their
observer status for once, and help wizards.

3. One of the good guys will become a DE, possibly in
an attempt to vanquish LV on his own. Possibly Percy,
but not necessarily.

4. More people will learn to say Voldemort's name
aloud.

5. Peter will pay his debt to Harry in HBP, by
informing him, either using his Animagus form or
indirectly, through the scar connection, that Snape is
in danger, that Voldemort has decided to break him and
learn secrets of the Order. Harry will hesitate, but
will finally decide to help. Pettigrew will die during
the whole adventure.

And:

6. I'll be in huge trouble tomorrow for staying up so
late (this one is sure to come true!)
