Predictions

| 7/16/2005 |
For those keeping score, of my nine predictions (eight days plus a
bonus one on the last day) two of them were spot-on correct, one
confirmed incorrect, two seem highly unlikely now, and four are still
unknown (one of them was a prediction for book 7 anyway so was always
going to still be unknown at this point).
Hopefully the score isn't enough of a spoiler that I should make you
click through for it, but the rest of this entry contains spoilers.
Don't click through if you haven't read the book yet.
Here were the predictions:
7-day (rat): It will turn out that Crabbe and Goyle senior were
the ones who originally bullied Wormtail into acting as a spy for
Voldemort.
Status: Still unknown.
6-day (blood): Something in Harry's blood (which Voldemort used at the end of Goblet) will prove Voldemort's downfall.
Status: Still unknown.
5-day (ships): Ron/Hermione, Harry/Ginny.
Status: Correct!
4-day (mirror): The broken shards of two-way mirror that Sirius gave to Harry will communicate with each other. Harry and his friends will use these to great effect.
Status: Unlikely. No mention of the mirror at all.
3-day (grade): By some injustice, Harry will turn out to have failed his Defense Against the Dark Arts O.W.L.
Status: Incorrect.
2-day (army): The D.A. will get some kind of pseudo-official
recognition, perhaps as a kind of "junior arm" to the Order of the
Phoenix.
Status: Unlikely. By next year everyone except Ginny will be old enough to join the Order outright.
1-day (death): Dumbledore will die.
Status: Correct! (but of all the things to be right about...)
0-day (more death): Harry will die at the end of Book 7.
Status: Still unknown, of course.
Bonus prediction: Caradoc
Dearborn's going to show up and turn out to be either a Death Eater spy
or a Death Eater hostage.
Status: Still unknown.
