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

I can't see all the Weasleys surviving till the end of the series.  I 
think in book six we will lose Bill.  That way Molly can regret that 
she complained about his long hair and earrings.


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

Hagrid and I hope I'm wrong because I've grown very tired of the 
character.
 

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

I think that the true reason that Snape hates Harry's father is that 
he stole Lily from Snape.  I'm not saying they necessarily had a 
torrid affair, possibly just something getting started, but James 
stepped in and that was the end. 

4. Who will be the new DADA teacher?

Felix Felicitus, good a guess as any. 

5. With whom will Harry have a romantic relationship?

Not a romantic relationship yet, but Harry and Hermione will kiss by 
the end of the book and start wondering about a relationship. 

6. Who will be the new Minister of Magic?

Amos Diggory.  JKR spent too much time developing his character to 
not have him play a larger role.  

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

Not a pensive.  At least nothing like I would expect one to look 
like.  I think they are casting some sort of spell.

8. Will Harry take Advanced Potions?

Yes

9. Will Neville take Advanced Potions?

Yes because he wants to follow in his father's footsteps and he must 
have it.

10. How many OWLs did Harry get?

6

book 5, but that they mutually decided that it wouldn't work.
