So, here is something to laugh at in a few days time. My predictions for HBP:
- Snape is going to be the next DADA teacher. That way Harry can continue to NEWT level in both Potions and DADA.
- Snape will stay as DADA teacher both years 6 and 7.
- The new Potion teacher will be a new character.
- Possibly the HBP.
- The HBP will be a new character.
- Possibly the lionesque character Jo described months ago.
- The entire trio will survive (the book) HBP.
- Voldemort will reign with terror, ie several murders will take place. (Most will be just new names to us.)
- Someone in the Order is likely to die.
- Harry will have calmed down and be less of a moody teenager and more of a responsable youngling.
- Fred and George will now be in the Order, (and I fear for their security).
- Hermione will learn how to Apparate.
- Harry will NOT be the new Quidditch Captain, for the same reason he was not chosen as Prefect.
- The HBP will be on the Good side.
- There will be a traitor within the Order. Possibly we won't fully see this until book 7.
- Possibly Bill and Fleur are getting married and that's why Harry only stays a short time at Privet Drive.
- Harry will learn much more about the Order's secrets and/or their methods.
- Harry will inherit Buckbeak.
- Harry might inherit all Sirius' possessions.
- The Mirror Harry got from Sirius will come back. (It would be super cool if he could use it to contact Sirius and possibly his parents in their dead state, through the Mirror and the Room of Requirement together. This parenthes is not a prediction though.)
- The new Minister of Magic will be someone who is openly against Voldemort.
Grrr, I forgot something: Added at 11.15 PM BST.
- Neville will have a wand of his own which will make him much less clumsy.
- The metamorphmagus ability will come back into play, but this time the effects will not be comical.
- Harry is NOT a metamorphmagus.
- We will find out why Trelawney had to stay at Hogwarts in OOTP.
- Possibly she will make a new Prophecy.
