Predictions For Book 6, What do you think is going to happen? Options

[Imogen]

It's always fun to guess ahead about what's coming and then we can check back in July to see how close we are.

My predictions (none of them particularly rocket science):

1. Harry's going to change a lot over the course of the book and come out much stronger, with a good deal less unproductive anger at the far end.

2. At some point, Harry's going to hold Ginny's hand! I don't think we'll get a snog yet, but I'm ever hopeful.

3. Quidditch has to be back on the menu, but Slytherin will beat Gryffindor in their match. Ginny will still be on the team, but as a Chaser.

4. The death JKR has mentioned will be of a fairly minor character - like Colin Creevey. Someone we're not particularly attached to anyway.

5. The new character we've had described as like a tawny lion will be someone who influences Harry very positively. Possibly the new DADA teacher OR the new Minister for Magic. A former Gryffindor, without doubt!

6. At some point during the book, Harry is going to sneak off school grounds without permission.

7. Harry's going to take Potions for his NEWTs - along with Transfig and the other subjects he needs to be an Auror. Not all of his classes will now be with Ron. Malfoy and his cronies will also still be in Potions, as will Hermione.

8. Ron will finally get a clue about Hermione and do something about it towards the end of the book!

9. Voldemort will make no direct attacks on Harry during this book, although someone close to him will be threatened.

10. Percy will return to the Weasley fold.
