I hereby certify that I have not seen or heard any spoilers.

3. Excluding Harry and Voldemort, who will be the most prominent 
character to die and stay dead? Ron

were listening with Extendable Ears, what did Draco show Borgin that 
scared him? Death mark

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
     b. Draco? No

9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie? Against Voldy

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. Diary
     c. Ring
     d. Sword
     e. Wand
     f. In Voldemort
     g. Scar


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: Panther     Boggert: Voldemort discovering his treachery
Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of 
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic? The power of 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. Neville will capture or disable bellatrix.  He will refrain from 
killing or torturing her, however.

2. Harry will not use violence (e.g. AK or other curse) to vanquish 
Voldy.  It will be Harry's compassion that disables Voldy
3. Harry's blood has created a weakness or vulnerability in Voldemort.
4. Lupin will betray Harry and the Order
5. After Voldy is vanquished, Snape will be a threat to Harry.
