Compulsory Questions (50 points total):
If you believe the answer to a question is a new character,
write "new character" *and* describe relationships to old characters
or characteristics of new character for full credit.
1. Will Harry die and stay dead at the end of HPDH? No
2. Will Voldemort die and stay dead at the end of HPDH? Yes
3. Excluding Harry and Voldemort, who will be the most prominent
character to die and stay dead? Horace Slughorn
4. From HBP (p125, American Hardcover), in the shop while the trio
were listening with Extendable Ears, what did Draco show Borgin that
scared him? The Dark Mark

the classes (answer yes or no for each):

time "very late in life?" Mrs. Figg
8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the:

9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie? Dumbledore's Man
through and through
10. Identify the seven Horcruxes. (If you think there are more or
less than seven, write "n/a" or add extra letters as necessary.
Horcruxes in previous books and previously inactivated Horcruxes must
be identified for full credit. If you think one of the soul pieces is
in Voldemort so there are six external Horcruxes plus the bit still
in him, then write "In Voldemort" for one of the answers.)

b. Riddle's Head Boy Badge
c. Slytherin's Locket
d. Slytherin's Ring
e. Hufflepuff's Cup
f. Harry's Scar
g. In Voldemort
In case Hogwarts does not reopen, or in case we do not have
sufficient information to answer #5 and #8 above, these two alternate
questions will used in place of #5 and #8, above. If #5 and #8 are
sufficiently answered in DH, the alternate questions will be used as
tiebreakers.
Alternate 1. What are Snape's patronus and boggert? Snape's patronus
is probably a bat and his boggart is probably a Voldemort who has
become aware of Snape's treachery against him.
Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic? Love
Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.
Current Off-Limit Spoilers:
-- Predictions that describe any the covers are worth 0 points unless
they include specific information not obvious in the cover.
-- SPOILER: Kreacher will be in DH. (David Yates, interview.) (Note:
because we are pretty sure that Kreacher will figure at least
somewhat prominently in DH, any predictions about his presence on a
cover will also be worth 0 points.)
-- The probable identity of "R.A.B." as stumbled around by JKR during
Leaky / Mugglenet interview will earn 0 points.
-- Predictions based on "Gabriel the Hacker" are allowed but we will
laugh at you when they're wrong.
-- Anything stupidly obvious (e.g., Harry will turn 17, Ron and
Hermione will date, Voldemort is evil, someone will perform magic,)
will be worth 0 points, at most. Negative points are possible.
-- "Negative" predictions, i.e., "The Centaurs will *not* come
skipping into Hogwarts offering free pony rides," will receive no
credit.
-- Only your first 5 predictions will be evaluated and included in
your score. Extra predictions may be marveled at but will not be
scored.
1. Someone who we have thought to be dead, (Regulus Black or Amelia
Bones), will be revealed to be alive.
2. Neville will somehow defeat/kill Bellatrix.
3. Time Travel will be important: not used again within the time
frame of DH, but revealed to have been used in the past
4. Petunia Dursley will be revealed to have been much more involved
in the Wizarding World when she was younger than Harry, Vernon and
Dudley realize. She will give Harry information about Lily.
5. Draco Malfoy will turn to the Order for protection
