will be used as tiebreakers.

 Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of 
 Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?

 Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):
 
 Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.

 
 1. Snape's connection to Harry will be one of obligation and debt 
(real or assumed). We will not find out that DD cut a deal with 
Snape to have Snape kill him. This is a vote against ESE/Snape, out 
for himself Snape or Utilitarian Snape/DD (Snape killed DD because 
he and DD thought it would have the happiest results). This is a 
vote for deontological Snape. Not that I would vote for him.

 2. Ginny will be an animagus.

 3. Hermione's eventual career will involve the wizarding version of 
jurisprudence. Goodness knows, the wizarding world needs a decent 
legal system.

 4. The giants, which are already critically endangered, will 
sustain such losses that their extinction will be assured.

 5. Harry will "tame" a Gringotts dragon by speaking to it in 
parseltongue.

Predictions just for fun, because I think they are even less likely:

 6. We'll see Snape cry.

 7. Luna will become a wandmaker.
