Compulsory Questions (0-5 points each): 

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

Arthur Weasley.  Moody listed off all of the order members who were 
killed in the original war.  So far Sirius has been the only member 
to die.  Voldemort seems to spread a lot of death and the order has
not suffered the same kind of loss so far.  Throw in Molly's fears
of someone dying, the reaction in Ootp of the Weasley family at his
near loss I think Arthur is going to be killed. 

2. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? 

Hagrid.  If I remember correctly the giants had a chief/monarch 
system.
 
3. What is Lily's big secret? 

She teased Petunia during the holidays in the same way that Harry
draws upon Dudley's fear of magic to tease Dudley. 

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher? 

Well, someone incompetent.  I think we are in for a Merry Andrew of 
sorts so I'm going to say Felix Felicitas.

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship? 

He won't.  He's in his own headspace right now.  I don't think he
can have one really.

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?

Someone like Lucius Malfoy, but not Malfoy.  We haven't really been 
told the amount of non-DE voldemort supporters.  The wizarding world 
could be very much like nazi germany.  Those with wizarding 
prejudices could out number those without.  Fudge is a good example 
of non-DE wizard prejudice.  It's very possible that they could 
appoint a palpatine-like character.

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

I'm guessing pensieve.  Or a really big bowl of magic-o's cereal.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions? 

Yes, Snape is a bread and butter character.

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?

No.  He's probably looking forward to that.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get? 

He got Dada, potions, transfiguration, charms and care of magical 
creatures and divination(because he is a favorite target of 
Trelawney's).  He didn't get astronomy or history of magic.


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

1. I think that Lucius Malfoy will be mentally destroyed in Azkaban.
I think that a fate of a physically, emotionally and mentally ruined 
father will have an impact on pushing Draco to the DE.

2.  Harry will confont snape, in his anger over Sirius's death, will 
confront Snape about being Lucius's little lap dog.  I don't think he 
will get any real info but will start calling Snape out on his
involvement with the DE.  Harry does not trust Snape the way that 
Dumbledore does.

3.  Draco and his gang will join the DE, will be sent to kill either
muggles or a wizard family and will chicken out.  They will try lying 
to Voldemort and be punished.

4.  Fred and George's Weazley Wizarding Wheezes will go to far and 
make Voldemort and DE parody items and they will see a backlash. 
Example: their shop will be bombed/attacked.

5.  The centaurs will now be openly hostile to the Hogwarts Staff and 
students and will try to attack the castle to get at Firenze.
