Unfogging the Future
With 9 days to go until Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I thought I would write out some of my predictions!
Overall I believe the book is going to be very similar to OoTP. Harry, Ron, and Hermoine are still young and going through the teenage years. They are going to have lots of mixed feelings and emotions will swing. But I think JK is going to return some fun to Hogwarts with a few great Quidditch matches and a tight house points race.
We are finally going to see Ron and Hermoine together. Harry will find him someone and the threesome will expand to a bigger group-probably to also include Ginny and Neville.
Dumbledore will spend alot of time with Harry giving him personal training. I believe the he will teach Harry the Avadar Kavadar curse or something similar.
Everyone is speculating about who will die in this book. I'm thinking she'll kill off a few characters. Lupin and Peter are very likely to die and thus ending the group of Mauraders. I also believe that one of the Weasley's will die, probably Percy. But the big death will be Dumbledore. Harry is going to loose his backup leaving him alone and exposed in Book 7. Dumbledore will sacrifice himself for Harry in this book. He'll leave a pensive or diary however to help Harry continue to train and prepare.
And then there is Snape! JK has said he isn't a vampire. But she uses words like bat to describe him in several places. Maybe one of his parents was a vampire?? I also think that Harry is going to have to save Snape's life. Voldemort will find out that Snape is really a spy and Harry will intervene. This will cause them to have a more friendly bond. In Book 7, Snape will be Harry's mentor and help him prepare for the final battle.
The cover art has caused everyone to try and guess what the ring and the handshake means. My theory is that the ring is the mark of someone in the Order of the Pheonix. The shape on it is the scar on Harry's head. The ring binds them all together and is used for them to communicate. The photo of the handshake is Harry being inducted into the Order.
Some of the un-answered questions from Book 5:
OWL Scores
Hermoine will get 7 OWL's while Ron and Harry will get 5--Potions, Care of Magical Creatures, Defense Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, and Charms. Hermoine will also pass Arthimenchy and History of Magic.
Who will be the Quidditch Captain?
Katie Bell
Who will be the new Minister of Magic?
Probably a new character
Who else will be on the team?
Collin and Dennis Creevy will be the new beaters or chasers!
Well I can't wait!! Just a few more days and we'll all know!
