1. Are you going to look at every possible spoiler you can before the book comes out? Did you with HBP and how accurate were the ones you saw? I was curious, looked at a few, and I was completely spoiled before I finished the book. I'm one of those people who don't mind being spoiled.
2. What will you do if Amazon (or whoever;) don’t deliver your copy on time, and everyone is reading it except you? I'll be hanging out in Hastings with my fellow nerds that night so there's no possible way I won't have it on time (unless I get abducted by aliens).
3. Will you read the last chapter before anything else? Are you planning to read the book all in one go or are you a slow reader? I'll read it that night as fast as possible, and then reread it more casually sometime in the following days.
4. What’s your theory on the meaning of “Deathly Hallows?” Something to do with the Veil, the unopened Department of Mysteries door, dead folks, and Horcruxes. Hell, I don't know.
5. What’s the craziest Harry Potter theory you’ve got, which you could only share with your trusted f-list? I'm not much to theorize, although I enjoy reading others' theories.
6. If you could write in a sub-plot of your own choosing to the main Harry one, what would it be? I remember reading JKR's summary of her ideas about Dean's background. It was something about his father disappearing, and Dean eventually found out that it was because his father died fighting Voldemort. It sounded neat. I wish she would have left it in somehow.
7. Who do you think will die in the book, and who would you be most upset to see die, even if you don’t think it’s likely? I hate it, but I think Snape is doomed. Probably Hagrid, and/or Lupin as well, since JKR is fond of picking off Harry's fatherly influences.
8. Name three main(ish)characters who you think will definitely live and why. Is there a very minor character(s) you really want to have a happy ending? Harry, Hermione, Neville. All that death foreshadowing of Ron makes me too nervous to be confident about his survival, although I hope they're just red herrings. I always felt kinda sorry for the Creevey boys, so I hope everything works out for them.
9. If you don’t like the book, or are bitterly disappointed by it, do you think you’ll still stay in the fandom? I'm trying to keep an open mind so I won't be disappointed.
10. One word (or concise) answers only!
Snape: good, evil, own agenda? My heart says good, my brain says own agenda.
Bill: will he help Remus or just be on permanent honeymoon? I don't think he's really werewolfy enough to be spying. I think he'll fight though.
Peter: a Gryffindor moment or not? I sure hope not. If so, I hope it kills him. I want a Snape redemption, dammit.
Harry: is he a Horcrux? Nah.
The Weasleys: will they all survive? Doubtful.
If no to the above: who won’t? Ron or Arthur.
Did Snape love Lily? No (although I like fic in this vein). If he had feelings for her, I think they were more complicated than that.
Hogwarts: will they go back to school or not? Just a visit, and perhaps to take the N.E.W.T.'s.
Remus and Tonks: will they get married in the book? Probably.
Bellatrix: who will be her nemesis? Neville, duh.
The new leader of the OotP is …? McGonagall.
Percy: will he see the error of his ways or not? At least partially.
11.If Harry could take just one adult Order of the Phoenix member with him on the search for Horcruxes, who should it be and why? Snape, heh. No really, Moody.
12.Will Remus and Greyback have a confrontation in human or werewolf form? Will Tonks be involved? Who will the other werewolves support? Hell if I know. Lupin, I hope.
13.Who is the person from Harry’s class (and it isn’t him, Ron or Hermione), who will become a Hogwart’s teacher? What subject will they teach? Everyone always says Neville and Herbology, but I'm going to go different and say Luna, Divination (she and Trelawney hit it off at Slughorn's party, and last we knew, Trelawney couldn't stand working with Firenze).
14. Do you think Harry will observe Remus looking less lined and walking with a little more of a spring in his step? If so, do you think he'll attribute it to Tonks, and if he does, will he blush? I doubt he'll have time to notice, with as much that needs to happen in Book 7 to tie up all the loose ends.
15. Will Ginny use,"But Professor Lupin saw the futility of being a noble prat!" for one of her million arguments with Harry about why they should be together? Do you think they’ll get back together at all? They'll get back together eventually, but I think she was being serious about understanding why Harry had to pull a Spiderman and break up with her for her own good.
16. Which house do you think Tonks is in, and why? Is she going to morph into someone important and who will it be? She comes off as a Gryffindor, but perhaps Slytherin. I could see her impersonating Bella for some reason.
17. Who will be revealed to be the heir of Gryffindor? Something about the way Scrimgeour is described makes me think it might be him.
18. As JKR has promised the final chapter will be like an epilogue; how do you think the final paragraph will read? It may be a summary of how the wizarding world settles down after Voldemort's defeat, and perhaps a bit of Harry's general life afterward. We'll finally see that "grudging respect" JKR mentioned Draco someday having for Harry.
