book five is out and whoops, the rumours and predictions are a little skewed...
1. "We take off right from where book 4 ended. Voldemort, or Tom Riddle, has once again risen with help from his servant Peter Pettigrew, better known as Wormtail or Ron Weasley's pet rat Scabbers." - ok we all knew this would happen.
2. "We'll find out what the Potions Master, Professor Snape, was sent to do by Albus Dumbledore" - i still don't rightly know, do you?
3. "and what will happen to Dumbledore now he and Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge have 'parted ways'." - well, yes we did.
4. "Hermione will be made a prefect." - correct. but then again, we all expected it.
5. "We will learn more on the background of Harry's mother; Lily Potter." - i would've thought we learned far more about james' and snape's background than about lily's...
6. "Professor Lupin makes a return." - yep, dead on. plus he's a major character.
7. "What Harry's parents did for a living. J.K has stated that this is intregal to the plot." - yeah. if only we knew. well, we *did* find out they were in the order of the phoenix, but what were their day jobs?
8. "J.K has also stated that Harry will not become an animagus like his father." - so far so good.
9. "We learn why Harry has to spend the summer with the Dursleys." - another one dead on. i was glad to have this explained, mind you!
10. "Another person dies." yep. "'One of Harry's fans' says J K Rowling." - who are you kidding! i was heartbroken when this happened... no way would i be upset about the death of any of harry's fans!
11. "We will also see the return of:
Sirius Black - yep
Mr Weasley's Flying Car - nope
Dobby - of course
Crookshanks - of course
Aragog the spider - nope. unless you count that one line about him.
12. "But sadly however, we will probably not see a return of Lockhart which I feel is a shame!" - whoooo, 180 degrees, that one! 
i guess the lesson from this is not to trust speculations and rumours so much... but it *is* fun to speculate, though, isn't it? my friends and i have a whole string of crackpot speculations regarding the last two books...

When I wrote what might happen I did not say it WOULD happen. Mind, It probably seemed I did so Im sorry for causing any confusion and making false predictions. They were simply ideas I got from several sources such as The Harry Potter website, BBC newsround and parts of the clue action JK held for charity and from other peoples speculations, ect.
But now youve read it were you shocked at who died?

I was glad that Lockhart was in it!
