Hickengruendler:

I am a bit annoyed with myself, because I guessed the fall of the 
ministry for the end of HBP. My thought was, that Voldemort needed to 
do something, to became worse than ever. (Which he should, according to 
Trelawney's prediction from PoA). Yet, when nothing happened, I thought 
I was mistaken and did not even considered the possibility, that it 
would happen at the beginning of book 7 instead. I really don't know, 
why.

As for the biggest shocker: Even though I always sort of liked him, I 
did not expect Kreacher's turn-around. That came as a complete 
surprise. Similarly, that Molly would be the one to defeat Bellatrix in 
the end, didn't even cross my mind.
