character" *and* describe relationships to old characters or characteristics 
of new character for full credit.

2. Will Voldemort die and stay dead at the end of HPDH? No

to die and stay dead? prominent.. matter of opinion but I think it will be 
Snape.

listening with Extendable Ears, what did Draco show Borgin that scared him? 
message from Voldermort

seven, write "n/a" or add extra letters as necessary. Horcruxes in previous 
books and previously inactivated Horcruxes must be identified for full

one of the answers.)

d. locket

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? Bat for partonus and 
himself and a boggert.

Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of Mysteries 
in the Ministry of Magic? infinite pure 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.  Draco will at some point come to offer assistance to Harry.  Guessing 
middle to end of the book.

2.  Snape will  "sacrifice" himself for Harrys benefit. (ever hopeful that 
he is good)

3. We will find out that Snape went to Lily's house to work on potions 
together.  Snape fell in love with Petunia (maybe even dated)but was 
rejected by her.

4. Petunia has been involved in the WW as a muggle with either Snape or Lily 
and has to hide it from Vernon so he doesn't freak out on her.  We all know 
his feelings.

5. Voldermort doesn't die in the end.  Prophesies do not always come true. 
He will be defeated and rendered useless by love.
