I have taken a break from my current Harlan Coben serial killer novel obsession to re-read Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince in preparation for July 21st; the day I can finally get my mitts on the 7th and final HP book - the one that will tie up all loose ends, amd finally let us know the truth!

I have adored each and everyone of the Harry books and whilst I can't wait to find out what happens (even if Harry kills himself), I also cannot help feeling like I want to delay this time so the magic doesn't end! Then paradoxically I know I willl speed-read the book just to avoid being told by some loser hell bent on spoiling it for everyone!

Now I realise not everyone will share the Harry passion, but during some blog browsing I did come across some very cool musings and ponderings, speculating about what will happen - so I've cut and pasted it off that particular blog - with acknowledgement to Carla Harding!

See below:


Prediction 1We will find out what happened in the 24hours between the Potter's death and Harry's injury and Dumbledore's delivery of Harry to the Dursleys. My prediction is Harry will return to Godrick's Hollow and with a surviving time turner will return to the night of his parents death and have to watch without intervening so the future wasn't changed (ala Back to the Future) and then he'll meet with Dumbledore in the missing 24hours.
Prediction 2Harry's scar is a horcrux. If he is not a horcrux then he's something very closely connected which is how he has enjoyed so many of Voldemort's powers and insight into his mind. This does raise the ineresting point that Harry will have to kill him self, the ultimate sacrifice to completely destroy Voldemort.
Prediction 3Wormtail will sacrifice himself to save Harry to repay his life debt.
Prediction 4Snape is grey, both good and bad. He loved Harry's mother Lilliy but hated his father James. He isn't faithful to Voldemort or Dumbledore as he wants power for himself, but out of love for Lilly he will protect Harry, he may even be the one to murder Voldemort as Rowling has made murder the most horrendous thing anyone can do so does she really want her 17 year old hero to take a life?
Prediction 5Harry will go beyond the veil in the ministry of magic and will see Sirious.
Prediction 6Harry and Ginny will get married and have lots of babies, as will Ron and Hermione.
Only the book can prove me wrong. What are your theories?

HOW GOOD ARE THOSE THEORIES!!!! Ohhhhh I cannot wait!

Until next time... xx
