Revised Ultimate and Final Predictions Contest for DH

[Hagrid]

No: HPFGUIDX 171990

Revised (PS: not coming back onlimne until I have read #7 ... have 
fun all

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? 
Ginny (JKR won't have to kill Harry then. He will refuse to be seen 
in public again without Ginny there)
I also wonder if Salazar Slytherin has a surviving Horcrux which 
will be destroyed during this book. (After all, no-one knows what 
happened to that Hogwarts founder once he left the school 1000 years 
ago)

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 Death Eater's Death Head on his forearm (I don't think we will 
see more evidence of this in Deathly Hallows)

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 (if only to follow up clues based 
around Hogwarts)
     b. Draco?           No
     c. Hermione?     Yes
     d. Luna?             Yes
     e. Ron?               Yes
     f. Neville?          Yes
     g. Ginny?         Yes
But even though Hogwarts reopens, we will see no more Quidditch 
games. Luna's commentating was the last game for JKR to write

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?" 
Mrs Figg 

8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the: 
     a. Head Boy?   - Ron   
     b. Head Girl?   - Hermione
     c. DADA Instructor?  - New character (either a recruit from the 
Dragon Sanctuary, a friend of Charlie Weasley's or the wizard/witch 
that helped Sirius after escaping Hogwarts, the one with the 
tropical bird doing owl deliveries)
     d. Potions Master or Mistress?  - Slughorn
     e. Headmaster or -mistress?   - McGonagall

9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie? 
Snape (or actually, Eileen Prince – his mother) 
 He plays both 
sides for his own goals.

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. Diary
     b. Ring
     c. Locket
     d. Hufflepuff's Cup
     e. Ravenclaw's wand
     f. Snitch 
     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 :  Snake
Boggart:  the Bloody Baron
Mirror of Erised: Eileen Prince
 
Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of 
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic? 
 Known present and past Horcruxes

- RAB (Regulus) was given the task to kill his own brother, Sirius

Harry find the remaining Horcruxes: Kreatcher; the Bloody Baron;

or even Moaning Myrtle)
