We begin w/ the muggle family @ the end of another summer vacation.
There will be some attack or attempt on HPs life, but he will escape and rush off to school
2.5) There will be some discussion about the death eaters, who is in, and who is out. Some people will refuse to believe that whats his name is back
There will be some new teacher, either Snape takes the Dark Arts, and someone takes on potions, or there will be a new DA teacher.
There will be some conflict between Malfoy and HP, HP will best him again
There will be a quditch match
There will be a monster and a mystery
Ron dies
HP will solve the mystery and confront Malfoy senior and/or Voldermont in a climatic battle in some remote part of the castle that has been around for 1000 years, but which for some reason seems to be incompletely surveyed.
There will be a tear-jerking father and son talk between Dumbledoor and HP
There will be a feast, and applause for HP
At some point HP will be injured, but he will recover.

Forgot to mention that Hagrid will bring some trolls in; they will be rejected and laughed at at first, but then the students will embrace them, realizing that while people may look different on the outside, on the inside we are all the same.
I actually don’t think that Snape will be the Dark Arts teacher. They seem to keep leaving or dying at the end of each book, and I think Snape will continue on in future books.
Snape will certainly not be the Dark Arts teacher in this book, because he would have to leave at the end, and Rowling clearly wants to keep him around. My prediction is that he’ll get the Defense Against the Dark Arts job in the seventh and final book.
Actually, I heard from a somewhat-reliable source that the next Dark Arts professor is a woman. Perhaps Arabella Figg?
Of course, she could be all wrong.
In that she has released a couple of phrases from the next book, has anyone thought that the Dumbledore one that says “sit down Harry, I am going to tell you everything”, could be the last paragraph in the book? :eek:
That wouldn’t fit the “Start at Dursley’s”-“School”-“Return to Dursleys” pattern, now would it?
Unless it was revealed that Albus Dumbledore really was damn-I-can’t-remember-his-first-name Dursley. I mean, you never see them in the same room, do you? DAH DAH DAH DAAH!
