Becki takes a stab at it.


Compulsory Questions (0-5 points each): 


1. Who will be the most major character to die? 
  I think it will be Dumbledore, but I am not sure if he will snuff it at the end of book six or sometime in book 7, but I think he is dust, one way or another.

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? 
  The half-blood prince is Felix (whateverhislastnameis) who is also the lion-looking dude, who is also the new DADA teacher, and descendant of Godric Griffindor.

3. What is Lily's big secret? 
  I am really going all-out here, (I have not seen this theory yet, my apologies if I am repeating it), I think that she is not really a muggle-born, but a half-blood. I believe that her real father was killed before she was born, who was a wizard, the son of Felix, (see #2) Mr. Evens was noble and married Lilly’s Mother while she was pregnant with Lilly. That would explain why Petunia is a muggle, (as long as Lilly is the oldest, which I don’t think we know yet). So that would make Felix Harry’s grandfather, a suitable mentor for when Dumbledore bites the dust.

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher? 
  See #2

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 
  He and Ginny would make a good match but I can’t help thinking Hermione might figure into the equation somehow.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
  I always thought it would be Kingsley, but Madame Bones makes more sense. I will take Amelia. 

7. What is that bowl-thing on the green U.S. HBP cover? 
  Definitely a pensive, probably Dumbledores.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 
  Yes, to the horror of Snape.
9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?
   No. He will excel in Herbology and develop new herbs that will cure his parents. 

10. How many OWLs did Harry get? 
  Ten, I don’t think he did well in History of Magic or Astronomy.
