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?
Nope
2. Will Voldemort die and stay dead at the end of HPDH?
yep, but not because Harry AK'd him!
3. Excluding Harry and Voldemort, who will be the most prominent
character to die and stay dead?
D.Umbridge(dare I hope) Dare I hope NOT...Molly Weasley(I think this
would be the saddest)
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?
His new Dark Mark(although would have liked it to be his horrible
breath)
5. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will return as a
student (answer yes or no for each):
a. Harry? No(at least not at the beginning of the year..it may be
his only chance to visit Godrics Hollow)
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 in DH, if any?
Fleur and Bill
7. Who will be the unusual person who performs magic for the first
time "very late in life?"
Dudley
8. Assuming Hogwarts reopens as a school, who will be the:
a. Head Boy? Ron
b. Head Girl? Hermione
c. DADA Instructor? Tonks(although I really want it to be Shaklebolt)
d. Potions Master or Mistress? Slughorn(safest place in the ww
despite DD's death..if Sluggy was that chicken he wouldn't have been
at the funeral)
e. Headmaster or -mistress? McConogal
9. Where do Snape's ultimate loyalties lie?
With himself--he is exactly what he accuses other's to be
an "insufferable know-it-all" because he is...it matters not where
his loyalties lie..he always does and has done what he consideres to
be the most beneficial to himself and those he may care about the
most(so much for NOT letting emotions rule you)...hence his
grandiose sense of self-righteousness..(on the scale of black and
white Snape is most definitely charcoal gray..he may have the best
of intentions, but he is truly a nasty person-which makes him
useless for most character development) HAHA Snape--the GRAND red
herring! No one can explain to me yet why on earth Filch is
bandaging his leg in PS/SS..simply makes no sense after we saw how
he healed Draco..
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. Slytherins Ring
b. Riddle's Diary
c. the locket
d.Riddle's trophy at Hogwarts(the one Ron kept barfing up slugs all
over)
e.. Harry(not enough pages in a book if he is not one)
f. Nagini(his "test drive" of creating Horcruxes in a living
creature--can you imagine if he could control Harry like he did
Nagini--I think he thought he could given his actions in the OOP
battle..I believe Voldemort thought he could make Harry kill DD or
DD kill Harry..but DD didnt and Voldemort couldn't do anything with
Harry because Harry had all that love and other caring emotions
within him)._
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 cannot conjure a patronus..hence his tired lessons about
dealing with dementors in HBP which had nothing much to do with
dementors; and his nasty remarks towards Tonk's Patronus in HBP
(although he may have thought Tonk's was "playing with his emotions"
to send a werewolf patronus(however she did send the message to
Hagrid--this also means that Snape is in the habit of intercepting
messages of OOP members)..Snape's boggart is Petunia Dursley dying.
(He loved her once and like JK said, "Who wants Snape in love with
them?"would be hilarious if Dudley was the love child of Snape and
Petunia--I don't believe so but it would be hilarious--everyone
would laugh until the last of the last book so that's truly a joke
LOL))
Alternate 2. What is behind the locked door at the Department of
Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic?
A love memory room...heaven forbid all those who have never known
love that step across the threshhold. Those who have not known true
love perish in the vacuum of their emotional nothingness, anger,
hatred, self-righteousness, revenge simply have no place there...
Predictions (10 points each / 50 points total):
Make 5 predictions not covered in the Compulsory Question section.
1.Harry WAS a HORCRUX....Harry was a made a horcrux that night at
Godrics Hollow...Hence his connection with Voldemort--his scar
hurting him, his forays into voldy's mind, his speaking
parseltongue, his having visions from Nagini's point of view, his
scar hurting when he first saw Snape("one I believe has left me
forever")--I do not believe quirrel was possed at the feast--too
much risk with DD close by)and his being able to open the chamber of
secrets (which apparently only the heir or one possessed by the
HORCRUX of the heir of Slytheryin(like Ginny) can do--or perhaps a
person who's a HORCRUX--something the Horcrux diary Tom would have
never expected)...HOWEVER, after Voldy possessed Harry at the end
of OOP Harry's scar has stopped hurting and Harry hasn't had any
insights into Voldy's mind. Hence the portion of Voldemort's soul
in Harry's scar left with Voldemort after his possesion of Harry in
the MOM in OOP.(one's soul wants to remain whole ). This also
explains DD's look of "triumph" in oop...(if there had not been
a "blood connection" the little piece of Voldemort's soul would have
never returned....In essence Harry's blood, provided a conduit for
whomever may have possesed him. Also DD doesn't insist on occlumency
lessons anymore, yet Harry describes him as having a "look of
satisfaction" when he learns their are no more forays into either
Harry's nor Voldemort's minds. I believed Harry learned parseltongue
from speaking/hearing it over the years...or he may well have
inherited it who knows what all the Slytherins were up to thousands
of years ago.(wouldn't run it past some crazy Slytherin to try
to "breed out" the muggles hence the increase of muggle borns over
time.).
2. Snape loved Petunia, HOWEVER, Petunia would NEVER love Snape
naturally(The Evans turn out lived down the lane from the Snape
home)...it was PETUNIA that wanted a muggle life(and Lily knew this)
and Snape pleaded Lily's help..what's worse...Snape discovered that
he didn't like Petunia so much or, realized that there would be no
future for them as he would never sacrifice his magical abilities
for her. Then, Snape set his sights on Lily for her magical talent-
-hence his margin notes in his potions book--he took while watching
Lily). In the end, Petunia had no magical talent but adored Snape
being being devoted to her told lily who in turn told snape...and
the worst memory of Snape in OOP was the worse because Lily finally
knew the type of person Snape was after him calling her a mudblood
and knew he was no hubby for her sister...hence Snape's running and
telling Voldie ALL about the prophecy..I wouldn't be surprised if
Trelawney hadn't given Snape a prophecy or two over the years...even
if she didn't Snape is a superb occlumens/legulimens...I'm sure he
got more of the prophecy over the years.especial during
Trelawney's "sherry years"..(in the end I'm sure DD's greatest
mistake was trusting Snape, also his greatest windfall would be
trusting Snape..)
Snape hates Harry because he has his mum's eyes...what Lily saw in
his worse memory was his true heart...if he called Lily
a "mudblood"..then Lily would never want that for her SISTER of all
folks...
3. Madame Pince and Filch are Snape's parents....(probably the only
other anagram of seeming importance after book #2 (Irma Pince=I'm a
prince))..Also it is also the only plausible explanation of why
Filch would be bandaging Snape's wounds in Sorcerer's/Philosopher's
stone...especially after we'd seen him heal Malfoy after Draco's
battle with Harry in HBP with wand waving and incantations! Uggh can
you imagine Snape's humility his muggle father posing as
a "squib"..and Snape purchasing the cheapest Kneazle he can find to
assist his muggle dad...who's the janitor at the school he's
employed at. .That's why DD thought he could trust Snape...because
Snape would never submit to such humiliating circumstances unless he
truly loved his parents(maybe he didn't). Probably the only instance
in the books were love is under estimated, or perhaps not if Snape
AND DD are trying to conceal a Snape/Petunia/Lily connection...
(something too big for Harry to keep to himself and just the sort of
thing that gossip mongers hunger for)
4. Tom Riddle's trophy in the trophy room at Hogwarts is a
horcrux....the first horcrux he created after killing Moaning Myrtle.
5. Harry will learn wandless magic..he must..and he may learn a
thing or two from Kreacher and Dobby and perhaps anyother of the non-
humans he's met over the years--especially before he goes on a
mission to Gringotts.(who temporarly will freeze all assets in book
seven..perfect place to take a non-human--gringots)
5b. . Just had to say that the prophecy does refer to three
folks...and the "neither may live while the other survives"...I
believe the "OTHER" to be DD(the generalized meaning of "other" was
the only other wizard that took on the last dark lord(grindenwal)
and was victorious)...now DD is dead, both Harry and Voldie will get
about their living business...(and how true it is seeing as, for the
most part, DD's decisions regarding Harry truly set him up for
survival more than living(perhaps he thought he had little choice)
and perhaps those same decisions kept Voldie in the same manner of
life)...Hence Harry's hairs standing up on the back of his neck
while going to Slughorns home in HBP when he looked at DD's
blackened hand thinking "neither can live while the other
survives")..
