Have participated in two R/H first kiss Lotteries. angua9's lottery and seviet's pool. It was double or nothing for me. I said ch. 23 in both since 23 is as close to a lucky number for me as any number. Am 23 years old and my birthdate is the 23rd (of this month). Also ch. 23 in GoF is The Yule Brawl Ball.


ATTN: I've heard (and read) the AOL/Amazon spoilers. Predictions may be based on them.

Predictions for OotP

-That supposed Dementors attack on Privet Drive will take place on Harry's birthday

-Harry will not visit the Burrow in this book. (This is because this book is an odd numbered book while his Burrow visits have occured in even numbered books).

-Hermione is the only one of the trio to be made a Prefect.

-The DADA teacher will be a new character (not Arabella Figg).

-Harry's first proper introduction to the Order of the Phoenix will be in typical Harry-accidental manner. The Order of the Phoenix is of course a group of people who fight against Dark wizards.

-Hermione isn't going to have much luck in her house elf crusade, especially when Winky seeks vengance for her master.

-Ron's formal dress ropes will not be aired at a ball but at someother formal function where Harry and he are bored to death.

-Ch. 23. The kiss. Will happen at some rather normal circumstances, like the trio doing their homework. I predict that it will be so hilarious that everyone's first reaction is to burst out laughing before actually realizing what happened.

-QUIDDITCH. Plenty of Quidditch. JKR has to pay for a whole schoolyear without Quidditch and with Ron on the team, you can bet on Quidditch taking more space. And eventhough I would love for one of the girl (Angelina, Alicia, Katie) to be captain, I think the honour will be bestowed upon Harry since he's been with the team for this long and is still just a fifth year (has more years left).

-Dumbledore will reveal certain secrets to Harry but not without an abrupt interuption.

-The death. I'm going to be boring and predictable and say Hagrid. Because it will have such an impact on Harry, Hagrid was there when he first learned about the Wizarding World and Hagrid's probably the person Harry takes most for granted of everyone close to him.

-Percy. Will do the "safe thing" and side with the Ministry. Dark wizards will start to infiltrade the Ministry.

-Ginny. Might get to be in one of the trio's secrets and thus Harry will start to notice her more. I don't see much romance yet though. And Harry's crush on Cho will be declared dead after being actually being so since the Leaving Feast in GoF.

-Draco. Will continue to be all talk and no game. Perhaps Harry will finally hit him (since Ron and Hermione had already done so in the other odd numbered books). (I have some hopes for Draco but I don't think he'll change much in OotP).

-Harry will not come in direct contact with Voldemort but Wormtail might show up since we'll be expecting more R/S Remus and more Sirius.

-And yeah, we'll witness both Ron's and Hermione's birthdays.

And I'll shut up now.

You know, with my luck, ch. 23 will end up be an infodump a la The Pensieve chapter in GoF.
