A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

ANYONE FOR QUIDDITCH? We're now a mere 11 days from the release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, sure to be a blockbuster on the level of Star Wars and being covered (if possible) in an even tighter cloak of security. So, as we rapidly move toward the release of the next-to-last volume in the series, I wanted to open up a thread for discussion and predictions. My predictions?

• Dumbledore dies. Obviously, this will be in an Obi-Wan Kenobi-esque manner, and Dumbledore's presence will continue to be felt.
• The prophecy under which Harry is the "chosen one" will be vested with much greater ambguity as to whether Harry is actually the subject. Actually, since the end of the last book, I've thought that Harry may not ultimately turn out to be the hero.
• Mr. Weasley's experimentation with mixing the Muggle and the Magical will tie into the plot in a fairly direct way rather than just being used as a plot device.

Your predictions, thoughts, and comments are encouraged.
