My predictions for 'Harry Potter and ??'
 
You can also discuss theories on the forums.
 
 

Harry Potter Book 6 Will be called: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.

>The Half Blood Prince part is NOT about Harry or Voltamort!!


Harry Potter - Book 6 - TheoriesTaken from another site but I have edited them.
A few theories have surfaced regarding future books from the happenings in Book Five. These are the best we have so far:
(Please note: We do not post all theories - Those which are badly worded, obvious to almost anyone, or seem nearly impossible may be ignored. Also we are not able to check all these theories for originality in the COS forums and will therefore accredit theories as they are sent to us. However if links are provided we may link the theories to the related COS discussion)
We've all heard that Dumbledore knows pretty much everything that goes on at Hogwarts. He also didn't care if he lost all his acclaim except taking his face off the chocolate frog cards. Perhaps Dumbledore is using the chocolate frog cards of himself in the same way that the portraits of old headmasters spy on others. After all, look at all the times Harry and Ron have gotten chocolate frog cards with his picture on them. --Submitted by Sara

Hog's Head Note: That's definitely possible, but maybe it was just a humorous quote JKR added to remind us why Dumbledore is so cool.

There is much speculation that we haven't heard the last of Professor Trelawny's prophecies. It is likely that she will make another before the series concludes, so why not book six? Harry and Voldemort can't duel because Fawkes's tail feather is in both wands causing the reverse spell effect. So Harry isn't going to be able to use his wand against Voldemort, the power is going to have to come from something else. What it is, I don't know, but it can't be wand magic. --Submitted by Ashley

Sir Patrick Delaney Podmore (the head of the Headless Hunt) could be related to Sturgis Podmore from the Order of the Phoenix. --Submitted by Anka

Dudley beat up a ten-year old named Mark Evans, who, coincidentally, shares a last name with Harry's mother. I dont think he will be Harry's lost brother because he's 10 (meaning Lily didnt die "that" night - which is impossible due to her protection on Harry). However, maybe Lily and Petunia had a brother? --Submitted by Anka

An interesting anagram: "persues Evans" = "Severus Snape". Could Snape have been in love with Lily? He certainly hated James; He could even have been "the source" that warned Dumbledore and the order that Voldermort was after James and Lily. --Submitted by Anka.
Could this also have been the motive for Snape becoming a spy?

From what was said in book five, it would be logical to assume that Harry is Sirius's heir. So not only will Harry inherit Sirius's fortune and properties, but he will be the owner of 12 Grimmauld Place, and Kreacher's master. Harry is therefore going to have to control his feelings regarding the betrayal of Sirius (from Kreacher), and will have more responsibilities. --Submitted by Oswaldo

Percy wrote a letter for Ron which attacked Harry and Dumbledore - or so it seems! If the letter is read in another way, warnings for the group begin to appear: advice about Umbridge taking control of Hogwarts; Possible removal of Dumbledore from the Headmasterīs office; the Minister of Magic trying to portray Harry as a psychotic guy; and lots of others. Could this suggest Percy is working for the Order (undercover), and perhaps Mr. Weasley and Percy, in the need of a cover staged the fight? --Submitted by Oswaldo


On page 861 of the American version of OoTP, Nearly-Headless Nick tells Harry, "I know nothing of the secrets of death... I believe learned wizards study the matter in the Department of Mysteries." I'm assuming that Nick is referring directly or indirectly to the veil that Sirius fell through. It's entirely reasonable for the veil to be a connection, gateway, portal, whatever, to another plane: the plane where people go when they die. The veil is possibly an experiment by such 'learned wizards' trying to contact the dead or make a connection to this other plane. In this case, as Sirius didn't die from Bellatrix's spell, but merely from crossing the one-way gateway into this other plane, then the whispering voices that Harry hears are the voices of the dead, and this leaves the 'veil' open for later contact with Sirius - assuming that if one gets close enough, he or she can actually talk with the dead.

I believe Mr. Weasley will become the Minister of Magic. The reasons are two: Fudge will probably be thrown out of office for not telling anyone about Voldemort; Ron said (in book 5 that "they have as much chance of winning the house cup as dad becoming Minister of Magic." And when Ron jokes about something, he's usually right. Who better for Dumbledore to place at the top than Mr. Weasley? --Submitted by Stevie

Recycling of a book 5 theory that never materialized, but could in future books:
In the first book, Hagrid told Harry he didn't think Voldemort had enough human left in him to die. In the fourth book, Voldemort needed human blood to bring him back to life. At the end of book 4, after Harry explained what Wormtail and Voldemort did to him, Dumbledore had a 'look of triumph' in his eyes, could this possibly be because Voldemort was human-enough to die? -Submitted by Lucy

On page 817, Dumbledore calls the room with the arch the Death Chamber. I guess most people have read this as being the chamber where they study death, but I read it as a Death Chamber as in where people are killed, just like the death penalty. Then I went back to the description of the room on page 773, and Harry says that it reminds him of the courtroom that he was tried by the Wixengamot in. Could this be a place where wizards are tried and sentenced to death? If so, then WHAT does a wizard have to do to get this sentence? So far we have seen many wizards do things that get them sent to prison, and even Sirius and later Crouch Jr. were to get the Dementor's kiss, but that's not actually killing them, just sucking out their soul. I'm wondering what horrible, horrible thing would a wizard have to do to get a death sentence. Perhaps they would need to lead many wizards to the dark side or try to take over the wizarding world? I think this may be the fate of Voldemort, though obviously not through a trial, but since Harry cannot defeat Voldemort with his wand, I think that may be the one place that Harry can kill Voldemort.

On page 835 of the American verision of the OotP, Dumbledore said he protected Harry with old magic that Voldemort hated and underestimated, or in other words, Lily's lingering protection that flows in Harry's blood. Later on in the conversation, Dumbledore said the locked door in the Department of Mysteries has a force that is "more wonderful and more terrible than death." He also said that Harry has such quantities of that power and Voldemort has none. Voldemort couldn't possess Harry because "he could not bear to reside in a body so full of the force he detests." Dumbledore told Harry that he didn't need Occlumency after all because his heart had saved him. So could all of this mean that Lily's lingering protection was love? Could this type of strong love be the power in the locked room that Harry has and Voldemort doesn't? Plus, maybe Voldemort couldn't possess Harry because Harry's body was full of his mother's love. Voldemort couldn't stand to be in a body filled with motherly love. Voldemort never knew what a mother's love for her child is because his mother died when he was born. And he certainly didn't get any love from his father, who dumped him in an orphanage. <B>Note from Hog's Head:</B> I think 'love' is just what JKR wants us to think and she has told us all this to throw us off scent. There may be another power that Harry has that resides inside the Department of Mysteries.

>Book Seven Theories

I think the outcome of book 7 is pretty well set. Voldemort will die, whether Harry goes with him or not is uncertain. Voldemort must die because if he lives on, with Harry dead, he will never die! No other person would be able to kill him due to what the prophecy said, he wouldn't even die of old age of disease because he isn't mortal anymore. He would just live on forever and eventually take over the wizarding and muggle world - No writer in their right minds would kill off the whole world! --Submitted by Nicole

 

Facts

These are facts that have been confirmed by J.K. Rowling, so no i did make it all up ^_^ Thanks mugglenet.com

Random facts about the book
  • By the ends of books 6 and 7 "you'll have all the back story you'll need", says JK Rowling, and a prequel will not be necessary
  • There will be a new Minister of Magic, no more Mr. Fudge.
  • We will find out what happened to Hagrid's half brother Grawp. He will be a bit more controllable in book 6.
  • The Dursleys are in the next book, but Harry's stay with them will be the shortest yet. In book 5 he stayed for 4 weeks, so we know his stay will be less than 4 weeks.
  • Cho Chang will not be a romantic interest of Harry in Book 6, however there will be a "little romance" for Harry says JK.
  • In books 6 and 7 we will find out exactly why JK killed off Sirius.
  • Harry becomes even more powerful in book 6.
  • In books 6 and 7 we will find out why Dumbledore trusts Snape.
  • We will find out what happened to Wormtail AKA Peter Pettigrew
  • More about the animosity between Snape and Sirius will be revealed in the last 2 books.
  • JK has said that giving away the form of Snape's boggart and patronus says too much. We'll definitely find out what Snape's worst fear is, and it'll be important.
  • Hermione and Draco will NOT end up together in book 6 or 7.
  • We will find out what exactly Dudley saw when he looked at the dementors.
  • The reason Voldemort and Harry both didn't die when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, will be revealed.
  • We will see more of Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, now that Lucius is busy.
  • We'll learn more about Harry's scar in the last 2 books.
  • Moaning Myrtle will make an appearance again, as will Tonks.
  • More about Voldemort's birth will be revealed, thus helping us understand why he is so evil.
  • Muggles begin to notice "more and more odd" occurrences in book 6, says JK.
  • The wizarding world is really at war in the sixth book.
  • Harry will tell his dearest friends about the prophesy after it sinks in to him.
  • We will learn more about Harry's relatives, including his grandparents (though JK says they aren't really important to the story)
  • We will find out what happened to Sirius's motorbike.
  • Book 6 will be shorter than the 5th book (or at least JK's 99% sure, but will not swear on her children's lives)
  • There will be no "new" nationalities of children at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a British school, and JK says that adding foreigners for the sake of it is not in her plans.
  • During an interview, when JKR was asked in which Hogwarts room she'd like to be for 1 hour, she said it would be a room in which Harry has been before, but doesn't know its importance. Yet. (this could have happened in book 5, but we're unsure)
  • It's very important in the plot that Harry has his mother's eyes, and that her wand was very good for charms.
  • During an interview for Kids BBC, Victor Greensteet (reporter) asked Rowling if Harry would have a dragon for a pet. This is what she replied: "You can't tame a dragon, no matter what Hagrid thinks. It's simply impossible. So no. He has more common sense. He MAY have a different pet in the future, but for now, I won't say anything else". (This could have been buckbeak, but I'm sure we can expect more pets)
  • In the same interview for Kids BBC, the reporter asked J. K. if Harry had ever used the internet, and this is what she had to say: "No. They (the Dursleys) won't let him go near Dudley's computer, and Dudley is the only one who has a computer. They hit him if he gets too near to the keyboard. So the answer would be No. I use it a lot, but Harry doesn't. Wizards don't really need to go on the web. They have an even better way to find out what's happening in the outside world, which I think is a lot more fun than the Internet, but I'm going to keep quiet on this one."
  • The choice between what's right and what's easy will be a pillar of the plot in Harry's last 2 years at Hogwarts
  • Harry's parents' profession will be a big part of the plot.
  • Something HUGE will be revealed about Lily Potter.


Rumors that Have Been Put to Rest

  • The next book with not be called "Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch" or "Harry Potter and the Mountain of Fantasy"
  • JK does not have any parts in the films
  • Harry Potter will not be the new Minister of Magic
