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?

Prominent is a matter of opinion, but I will answer Snape.

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?

Dark Mark, however I'm not sure that the answer to this will necessarily be
revealed on page.

5. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will return as a student,
which means enrolled in classes whether or not they attend the classes
(answer yes or no for each):

     a. Harry?   Yes, he will be convinced to return at least briefly.

     b. Draco?  No.

     c. Hermione?  Yes.

     d. Luna?  Yes.

     e. Ron?   Yes.

     f. Neville?  Yes.

     g. Ginny?  Yes.


6. Which will be the most prominent couple to marry, if any, during the time
period covered in DH, *excluding any epilogue*?

Bill and Fleur

7. Who will be the unusual person who performs magic for the first time
"very late in life?"

 Filch

8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the:

     a. Head Boy?   Harry, part of why  he is convinced to return briefly.

     b. Head Girl?  Hermione

     c. DADA Instructor?  Bill Weasley

     d. Potions Master or Mistress?  Slughorn

     e. Headmaster or -mistress?  McGonagall


9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie?

ESE!, while I understand the arguments for both sides, deep down I think I
want him to be evil.

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.)

     a.   The Ring

     b.   The Locket

     c.   The Diary

     d.   Hufflepuff's Cup

     e.   Ravenclaw's Wand

     f.   Nagina

     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?

 Patronus - Bat

 Boggert - James

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

 A room that fills its occupants with the deepest feelings of love such that
once entered they would not wish to leave, thus making it a dangerous room
for anyone to enter.



Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):


Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.
Hmm lets try to be different about these.

1.  The scene from the chapter "Snape's Worst Memory"  will be discussed by
Snape, where he reveals that the worst part of the memory was not being
tormented by James.

2.  Hufflepuff's cup will be hidden in a vault in Gringots forcing the trio
to break in.


3.  Olivander will contact Harry secretly, possibly at the wedding, where he
will provide instructions to where Ravenclaw's wand is hidden.  (Helping to
reduce the burden of finding all of the horcruxes.  The book can only have
so many pages after all)

4.  Hmm, haven't mentioned Draco yet.  Draco will defect in the later half
of the book and find the trio.  After the traditional misunderstanding,
yelling, curses, and what not he will tell the trio where Voldemort is
hiding.

5.  And for the super jumping out on a limb prediction - Peter will kill
Voldemort with his silver hand.  The line of the prophecy, "*and either must
die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives,"
* "*hand of the other*" specifically refers to Peter's hand.

Ok so the last one is a little out there but at least they are different for
the most part.
