What is Going to Happen in Harry Potter?

Yesterday I saw in the Harry Potter page that the next book (5th in the series) its coming out on June 21st.

What do u think it’s going to happen in the book?

I’m bored, so I’ll play.

  1. We begin w/ the muggle family @ the end of another summer vacation.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. There will be some conflict between Malfoy and HP, HP will best him again
  5. There will be a quditch match
  6. There will be a monster and a mystery
  7. Ron dies
  8. 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.
  9. There will be a tear-jerking father and son talk between Dumbledoor and HP
  10. 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.

Harry will end up in the hospital at the end of the book.

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.

Arabella Figg will be the new DA teacher. Rowling has already said that it’s going to be a woman. Didn’t we already have this thread a day ago though?

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.

Erg, that thing about being a woman should probably be a spoiler (Figg is still just speculation). If only we could edit our posts…

Since the first four books were all identical, just how hard is this to figure out?

  1. Narrow escape to school in September
  2. Weird rumours
  3. Quidditch match
  4. Harry gets in trouble with Snape
  5. Irrelevant messages from Sirius
  6. Conflict with Malfoys
  7. Internal conflict between the Trifecta
  8. Final, highly dangerous battle
  9. Dumbledore visits Harry in the infirmary and explains everything

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!

Lets not neglect the impending Harry, Ginny Weasly, Cho Chang love triangle.

Unless you’re talking about things we know are going to happen, I recommend you also check out this thread.

*Hermione and Ron will finallt break the sexual tension and jump each others bones.

dont you remember how jealous he was in book4 ?
