6 weeks to go for the HBP and I thought about a contest to name 3 people who will pass thru the veil of death (figuratively,.. maybe literally..).

In old movies, gangters and such would say "It's curtains for you Joe..., right before "Joe" was "bumped off". Curtains = funeral parlor curtains????

Now naming one person can be a matter of luck. Naming 3 means you may have the makings of a true "seer". Reasons for your choices aren't necessary. Simply ..
who is DEAD by the end of Book 6.

Winner receives 3 cheers and a hearty "Hip! Hip! Hooray" from the rest of the board. Maybe lunch with Trelawney and Firenze, so you can ask to become part of the "Divination" Faculty.

I'll go first.

1. Mr. Weasley
2. Cornelius Fudge
3. Peter Pettigrew

I'm going to make myself very unpopular with these:
1. Dumbledore
2. Lupin
3. Ron (but maybe not until book 7)

Here are my choices for the bad guys:
1. Bellatrix
2. Lucius Malfoy (probably not until book 7)
3. Crabbe and/or Goyle (leaving Draco to act on his own)

1. Percy Weasley
2. Peter Pettigrew
3. Kingsley Shacklebolt

1. Molly Weasley
2. Ron Weasley
3. Mad Eye Moody

1. Dumbledore
2. Snape
3. An insignifigant so to put it character like Cedric Diggory was

1. Molly
2. Mad-Eye
3. McGonnagal

1 - Percy
2 - Lupin
3 - Bill or Charlie (sorry can't decide)

1. Professor Dumbledore
2. Mr. Weasley
3. Lucius Malfoy

Twestann, Bound in Chains and Green Eyes all tie with their prediction of DD's death. Bound in Chains did put in the codicil "someone insignificant" but I figure AS Amelia and Emmaline were members of the order, and Karkaroff was/is/was the head of Durmstrang - they weren't all that insignificant. I'll try and look through my tea leaves and the smoke fumes coming from my fireplace and see if I can locate Trelawney's fireplace number or Firenze's room ( I do NOT want to use the word STALL number, although Trelawney would probably call it that) number at Hogwarts to see if I can arrange a luncheon for all of you.

why so many theories of ron popping his clogs? i dunt think that'll happen, that is just TOO cruel to the readers
