I'm straining to find something to do, so I'll throw out some predictions for the last books in the Potter series. Oh, spoiler warning:
Ron and Hermione will get it on. Its been hinted at a lot, but I'm very sure that they will at least start to hook up at the end. But, it would be much more entertaining if poor Harry got left all alone fighting evil while they were off 'snogging'.
Sirius isn't dead. I base this mostly on the assumption that the author has some clue to what she's doing. Otherwise, she's wasted a good character, and introduced Luna for no reason other than comic relief (since she wrote off the Twins and all the regular characters are so serious now). His death was so vague and so inconsequential that it seems that we are supposed to wonder why Harry is so stupid as to not ask what the fuck the Arch was all about.
Harry and Ginny sittin' in a tree. I've though this since book one, and I'm really sure about it now. The author is trying to throw us off by throwing some red-harring SOs around, but I know they'll hook up. Probably in the last paragraph of the last book, though (assuming she continues her one-school-year-to-a-book format).
I'm unsure if this will happen, but hopefully Neville will vindicate himself and defeat the torturer of his parents. I would be very happy if he killed her (which would only happen by accident as he was stopping her from killing someone else). Its funny how he snapped on Malfoy when he accidently and indictly insulted his parents, but when he was in the middle of a fray and not far from the woman who tortured both his parents to insanity, he was pretty normal. Mmmm, character inconsistancy.
Dumbledor has to die, and it will probably be at the hands of Snape. The only way Voldemort is going to have a chance of killing Harry is by getting rid of the massive protections around him. The heart of those protections is Dumbledor. When he buys the farm, Harry will be forced to fight. I am unclear where Snape stands in the whole scheme, but he is set up so that no one trusts him, and if something happened, Harry would think Snape did it. It'll probably just be some grand plot to make it seem like Snape was on the evil side so that he could infiltrate better, but ofcourse, no one will tell Harry anything and he'll probably almost kill Snape before he finds out the truth.
After all, everything in this series happens because someone doesn't think to tell someone else a bit of important information. Every incident occured because someone was ignorant, not because someone was ingenius.
I predict this trend will continue.
This series has been entertaining...a nice diversion until the next Drizzt book comes out. Now to find something else to criticize to pass the time...hmmm....
