EDITED--- this thread has been merged with the Correct predictions thread. So what were you right about? What were you wrong about?

Original thread-

This thread is for telling us what you were wrong about. It's not for people to gloat what they predicted correctly, but for those moments that you just went... wow.... didn't expect that!

For example. I never predicted Fred's death. After George was wounded, I really thought that the Twins were going to be reprieved. I also didn't predict Tonks and Lupin's deaths. I thought that they were somewhat unnecessary, given that we didn't read much about their battle at Hogwarts.

I also never predicted that Harry would be a horcrux after all. I knew about the bonding and the transfering of Voldemort over to Harry, but I didn't see it as being an actual 'horcrux'.

So... what did you not predict? What were the moments that left you completely stunned, thinking....

How could I have been so WRONG?!?!

I didn't expect any of the deaths. I thought if any of the Weasleys was going to die it would be George because for some reason he seems like a lesser character then Fred, although I was hoping she'd leave them alone.

I was wrong about Dobby dying, I really thought he'd live on. I was wrong about Harry not dying. All my theories revolved around him snuffing it.

I could never have predicted that Moody was going to be the first to go. He seemed the most resilient and it felt like he'd out live them all, so for that to happen so early was a nasty shock, but it did bring the entire book into perspective. Funny though that he should die when in the other books he was always saying 'If one of us is killed......' Kind of ironic.

Harry being a Horcrux, I was against it from the start. I thought it was bogus, seems I was wrong about that too!

Sirius coming back. I thought he would. Wrong again!

There were a few things I was wrong about

1. I sincerely thought that she would get rid of Harry in this book. I think that was her plan all along and she changed at the last moment

2. I never foresaw Snape and Lily knowing each other before Hogwarts and never guessed that Snape was "that awful boy" that Petunia referred to

3. Never thought Fred would die, I believed it would be Percy instead

4. I thought that Hagrid would die, though I am glad that it didn't happen that way

Many more but these come to mind foremeost

Oh wow, I was wrong about some stuff, most of it I'm glad for. Others...I really wish I would have been right.

1. I was wrong about Harry being a horcrux. And that still really annoys me. The whole "Whoops there goes my soul!" never really worked for me.

2. I was wrong about Ron dying. I could have sworn he was going to snuff it because my other two favorite characters died in the previous two books. All JKR would have to do is knock off Ron and the deaths would be complete. I'm SOOO glad he lived though. Saved me some tissues.

3. I was wrong about Sirius. I thought he was going to come back too. Course...maybe that's just me wanting him back.

I'm sure there's more I was wrong on, but I can only think of so many. And I can only confess to so many at a time.

I might as well just cut and paste Tahra's post right here!

Except. I never had any theory either way about the house elves.

Also I was convinced that Snape was playing both sides for his own ends. When it was first said that he was Head of Hogwarts, I felt that I had been right all along, and perhaps that had been what he was after. But then I thought, no, he'd would be after a position of more power and would make sure that both Voldemort and Harry were out of the way. Since Snape had never actually attemted to kill Harry, I was starting to lean on the side of him being good. I would never have thought that the Snape loved Lily theorists were right. I thought that lived purely in the domain of the VTM forums.

Someone else said something to me too. When I was in the queue on Friday night, I got chatting to a lady, who had her own theories, but had had very little chance to voice them. One was that Dumbledore was in fact very ill, she thought through old age, and had very little time left. I was staggered therefore when I read that he was indeed on his last legs. So kudos to that lady. I wouldn't have considered that.

Harry being a horcrux! I still hate that he was...I make take some time to recover from this fact.

Srius, I thought he'd be back but not the way he did come into it.

I also thought that Ron would die, one of the trio, I was convinced would have to, but JKR didn't do that either and I am glad for that.

What was I wrong about?

Lupin having a rubbish death, i thought that heas going to die, buti thought that he was going to have big death scene, i'm annoyed that Dobby got more time dying than Remus

Neville not killing Bellla. I really thought that they were at least going to have a duel or something. Although Mrs Weasley doing it amused me lots. But Bellas death wasn't something i wanted to be amused on. It was nice that Mrs Weasley was ble to avenge the pain that LV and his followers had caused her.

Lupin not killing wormtail. I didn't think that the hand would kill him. Although thinking about it, i quite liked it. I just thought that Lupin should have had at least some involvement in his death.

None of the trio dying. I thought that it was impossible that all of them were going to get away. Although i'm glad they did, that really did surprise me.

I think in the end we all were thinking that there was strong possibility that RAB was Regulus after all. However, I was wrong into going into so many theories about him/her being Aberforth, Albus, Moody, "Brutal-faced death death eater" on the Astronomy Tower, among others. I was way off on those. I did, before it was revealed who it was, have a strong feeling that Aberforth would be RAB after I read the snippet about the Life and Lies of Dumbledore.

I was wrong about Grindelwald, I anticipated him somehow having more of roll with Voldemort in the sense of being a tutor to him...or Grindelwald being almost exactly like Voldemort.

I didn't think those who died...would die. I was also expecting Harry to die along with Voldemort.

To begin, I was wrong about the DH concept/story believing it to be the departed victims Voldemort murdered for his horcruxes to be made. Dumbledore mentioned he (Voldemort) explicitly planned not only which relics to store bits of himself but also who would have the honor to die for his own invincibility. I was under the impression Harry had the ability to communicate with them (darn snitch and it's hidden hallow) in a similar way the Resurrection Stone;... but without Morfin's ring.

I was wrong about Hagrid surviving, he had close calls: how head-spinning was him driving as a Harry decoy on Sirius's bike with Voldemort tailing him?! The spiders laying siege with Hagrid wouldn't be that unordinary to me at least if the castle wasn't being torn apart. I won't get into the giant stuff though

Finally I'll admit the DoM has remained mysterious enough so for Rowling not to lead the story there again. Ah red herrings...

Tuitus, thanks for mentioning the book covers. I forgot to mention the version with dragon on the cover. I was thinking that it was being used to get somewhere, and dementors were hot on their tale (since there was mist everywhere on this cover). After reading the part about , I was sure that the dragon was going to give them a ride to see him about the .

Hey! I was wrong about most things! WOOOHOOO!

I was wrong, first and foremost, about Harry being a Horcrux. I really didn't think he would be one. . .not that I didn't think he could be; but I thought (and still do to some extent) that that explanation was weak. I feel a little let down that, in the end, he was one and it was the explanation for everything. And yet, the explanation for how he remained "alive" felt a little weak as well. Oh, you see, Harry. . .you're a Horcrux so you're alive because Voldemort's alive. Excuse me? What was that about?

I was wrong about Snape loving Lily. As I think on it, yeah, it makes sense. It was the easiest way to deal with his ultimate allegiance, but I was kind of against the idea from the get go. However, I'm okay with being wrong here! It's nice he had a friend for awhile before he treated her like, er, you know.

I was wrong about the Hallows. Also, doesn't bother me. They were interesting enough, I guess.

I was wrong about Lupin living, and I'm just not ready to talk about this one yet.

Let's see. . .I was wrong about most everything, really! But I think once I get some sleep and some perspective, I'll be okay with that, too!

Hmmm what was I wrong about? Besides the entire book, oh not much...

I was convinced that RAB was not Regulas Black, that would be too obvious, too simple. I thought it much be much more complex, I thought RAB would be a new and more intriguing character. I thought we would learn of this mysterious figure.

I also was terribly wrong with my theory that Harry could not possibly be a Horcrux. I thought it was stupid and a cheap way of carrying out the plot, I full-heartedly agree with what Janet said
I too felt that they could've gone into more depth with this. I didn't want him to be, though I accept the point of what him being a Horcrux meant. I did get one part of my Harry-Horcrux theory right though, if Harry was somehow a Horcrux, Voldemort made him so unknowingly.

I was also wrong about how Snape loved Lily, although it is one of the few Ships I support, I thought that it was something that ultimately existed purely in the world of fanfiction, I never, ever thought that it was real. I thought this was very much out of some of the stories I've read here at Vtm.

The other big thing I was wrong about was the deaths, I got basically all of them mixed up, I was convinced that Hagrid would die, Lupin would live, and one of the trio would die. I too, believed that Neville would be the one to finish Bellatrix off, and I am mad he didn't get the chance.

I was wrong with the whole of the book really, although reading over it again, I'm beginning to accept it.

I was wrong about Harry being a horcrux. I still think it's a bit boring and not mystical enough, but hey, this is JK Rowling. Snape was good, RAB was Regulus, it was R/Hr... why wouldn't Harry be a horcrux? And I agree that the whole Harry surviving thing was a bit murky. Explain again to me why he died but not died because he made a choice and found Dumbledore at the train station in his head and then got another choice? I was also wrong about Harry not talking to Dumbledore.

But anyway. I didn't have theories on the Deathly Hallows really, although I was expecting them to be connected to the Hogwarts founders, so I was wrong there. What else? I thought Hagrid would die, but I think he's the character who got a reprieve. I was not expecting Dobby to die, and I cried most about him, and Harry digging his grave!

Overall, though, I enjoyed the book! The things I were wrong about seem like a silly excuse for me to forget the wonder JK Rowling has brought us over this last decade!

I got a number of things completely round my neck:

1. Harry surviving
However, I think once he'd been named as Ted's godfather he was always going to survive and Lupin and Tonks were always going to die.

2. Snape loving Lily
Never saw any real evidence or reason for it, but I like the fact that Snape was able to show the requisite remorse and become a much better man.

3. Harry being a Horcrux
I must confess I like the way it was done. Voldemort's soul saying "enough is enough" and splintering inadvertantly was a great twist.

4. Snape knowing about the Horcruxes
I was sure Dumbledore was going to confide this critical piece of information

5. A nasty end for Umbridge
I wanted to see her snogged by a dementor. Really wanted that.

6. The dead Weasley
Thought Percy was going to die after an act of extreme redepmtion

Hiya! I haven't quite finished the book yet...well I'm not even half way through but I had to talk to someone about it seeing as I can't trust my friend because she ruined so much for me.



How scary is that? I was only joking about the Snape and Hedwig thing and yet it was true.
What about you guys?

Wizengamot edited--- editing this into the starting post, so that people actually read it: Can I just remind people that it's really not necessary to use spoiler tags in here. This whole forum area is spoilers and it is expected that if you come into this forum, that you will be discussing what happened in the book. So can I ask if we can please keep the spoiler tags to the other areas of the forum--- which if you're posting about DH, we DEFINITELY want you to use!

I got some right, but overall I was really surprised at the whole story line.

1. Deathly Hollows. I thought they were referring to the deaths at Godric's Hollow, not to actual objects.

2. Deaths-while I guessed right on both Snape and Pettigrew dying, their death's didn't involve the sacrifice or nobleness I expected.

3. Characters-DD and Lupin showed less character than I thought they would. I guess JKR was trying to show that they were human too, but I felt a bit disapointed in them both anyways. Even Ron's character was less than I thought, I would never guess he would leave Harry and Hermione, but at least he came back.

4. Fawkes-I thought Fawkes would play a big part of the story, and go to Harry after DD's death.

I was completely wrong about most of the deaths. Not wanting to say "I told you so", but I knew Lupin had to go, because he was like a father-figure to Harry, so for that reason, I thought his death would be a bigger deal, and very heroic, throwing himself in front of a curse that was aimed at Harry. For the same reason, I had also expected Mr. Weasley to die, as well as Hagrid.
I was always adamant that Snape was evil, and I never expected to find out that he had known Lily before Hogwarts.
I really thought that Harry would be killed off at the end, in some heroic act of martyrdom.
I had expected Ginny to go, but not Moody or Fred (I thought it would be Percy)

1. Hedwig dying! That was so sad, hedwig was the best owl...:cry:

2. Lupin dying like that...i thought it would've been more dramatic...

3. Bellatrix not being killed by Neville. I thought he was going to take revenge for what she done to his parents, but it turned out Molly did!

4. Percy coming back to his family Ahh i thought he was going to stick with the ministry all along, and not accept the truth.

5. Harry being a horcrux! I always said that Harry cant have been a horcrux...because voldemort never managed to kill him, and he cant trust a human, but it turned out to be the "horcrux that was never meant to be"...a fragment of the soul inside voldemort...

6. Dobby dying.. i was cryingg soo much, i never thought i'd live to see poor dobby die...

7. Kreacher!!!! He helped so much, he told harry so much that he needed to know...and all along i hated him, thinking he was a rude old thing.

8. I thought that either Hermione, Ron, or Ginny would die but none did!

I was completely off about Fred. I thought it was going to be Mr Weasley or Bill for sure. Tonks and Mad-Eye were a huge surprise, but I figured Lupin had it coming, and assumed that either Lupin or Hagrid would die as the last of Harry's surrogate parents.

I have been in a state of denial about Harry being a Horcrux since this theory first emerged. My bad.

I also thought the Deathly Hallows was a place, and I thought that was what was on the front cover of the UK edition.

Mrs Weasley killing Bellatrix was a real shock. I thought it was going to be Neville all along to avenge his parents.

Then there is Dudley. Who knew? The boy IS capable of showing gratitude!

Hi,

Just a couple of things, one or two predictions came true...because Jo shockedd me alot...


Cant remember any more...i guess i would fail any test Professor Trelawney gave me, lol

I am so shocked because quite a few major things that I predicated would happen did happen although id probably have to classify them as extremely lucky educated guesses...



But I have to admit that Deathly Hallows had so many plot twists and things that I just totally didnt expect..*sigh* im going to have to reread it again and again

I did not at all expect Fred to die, if any of the Weasleys I figured maybe percy would die after reddeaming himself, and maybe die in the act in saving someone else.
Oh, and Kreacher! I completely expected him to betray harry to Bellatrix so that was such a (pleasant) shock whenever he was won over by them.
Also relating to Bellatrix, Mrs Weasley killing her?! I mean wow. Did not expect that to happen. I figured she'd die but I always pictured Neville doing it to avenge his parents.

There wasn't much that I was right about to be honest either!

I was wrong about Harry being a Horcrux. I was really disappointed when it said he was a horcrux. I hated the idea of him being a horcrux and I thought it was too predictable. I really didn't want him to be one.

I was also wrong about Snape loving Lily. Although I did think that it was possible, I really didn't think that it would happen.

I also thought that neither of the Weasley twins would die. It was really sad that Fred died. I also thought that Tonks wouldn't die, although I thought that Lupin would.

I was wrong about Snape being good. I thought he was just pure evil, so when he turned out to be good I was pleasantly surprised!

1. Fred and Tonks dying. There was too many Weasly's to make it through safely. I thought Lupin would be alive to grieve Tonk though. I guess it's better the other way.
2. Harry being a Horcrux. Didn't guess the Deathly Hollows though
3. Snape loving Lily
4. RAB being Regulas Black

Well, I got a few things right. But I didn't see so many deaths, and the Deathly Hollows being objects vs. places threw me off big time.

Only a few of my predictions came true which were:

-That all the Marauders would die (Well Sirius and James were already dead - but I knew that Wormtail and Lupin would die)

-That Harry wouldn't die, would defeat Voldemort somehow and would marry Ginny

-That RAB was Regalus Black, though many people also got that right as well

-That Sirius wouldn't come back to life (The bit with the Ressurection Stone can't really be counted as coming back to life)

-That Ron and Hermione would get together (As if we didn't see that one coming!)

-That Harry would return to Hogwarts (True, he didn't return to Hogwarts to go to lessons and stuff, but I knew that he would go back to Hogwarts)

A few of my predictions were right but the rest were far off!

The ones that i got right were:

~ Regulus was R.A.B.

~ Harry wouldn't die

~ Harry would kill Voldemort

~ Ron and Hermione would get together

~ They would somehow end up going to Hogwarts sometime through the book

I was completely wrong about Snape so well done to everyone who knew he was good!
I also thought that the idea of Harry being a Horcrux was completely insane but i was completely wrong!

I got quite a few things right, but I also had a lot of predictions... I also got quite a few errors, like Percy dying, and the Mirror of Erised being Ravenclaw's Horcrux... And I was also sure that Hagrid would die. He MUST have been the character to get a reprieve. Either him or Mrs. Weasley!

hehe, i got the 'harry is a horcrux' thing right... i thought he would be a horcrux but i didnt think he could die, and that came true. i also thought that harry and ginny would get together and ron and hermione would, and that was right, but i think the most obvious one was r.a.b being regulus, i thought this from the start!

Erm, can I just remind people that it's really not necessary to use spoiler tags in here. This whole forum area is spoilers and it is expected that if you come into this forum, that you will be discussing what happened in the book. So can I ask if we can please keep the spoiler tags to the other areas of the forum--- which if you're posting about DH, we DEFINITELY want you to use!

I was right about a few things--- most of the big theories, except the Harry is a Horcrux one.

I was right about Snape. I was DETERMINED to be right about Snape! I don't think I could have handled it if he wasn't good. I would have still been looking for escape clauses or making excuses for him if HE had been the one to kill Harry.

I was also right about Snape loving Lily. I thought that it was going to be more in a friendship sense, however I wasn't knocking back the romantic relationship and I really enjoyed reading about this.

I was right about RAB, but then most people were.

I was also right about what the missing horcruxes were. Similarly, a lot of people were.

In the smaller theories, I believed that Ron and Hermione would end up together and while I knew that Harry and Ginny would end up together, I really didn't want them to. I thought that a Weasley would die, but I was wrong as to who it was. I was expecting Bill and I was hoping for Ginny . I expected Severus to die, which I was dreading, but I also knew that he was never going to get the chance to speak face-to-face with Harry and have Harry believe him that he was on the side of good. So he had to die somehow.

I thought that Ollivander had been taken and that Neville would outshine. I thought that the twins and Lee Jordan would have their moment and I hoped that something would happen to ruin Bill and Fleur's wedding (this was partly right).

All in all, while there were a lot of suprises, I also predicted a lot of things accurately.

Things I got right:


I thought the book was great, all in all...gave me a good cry or two (or five, or 10), lots of laughs, a few gasps, and a peak into the future lives of the main characters. Loved it all.

Lol Lauren0891 that's what I was thinking. 'Darn it did I get anything right?'

I was wrong about Snape. I'm a bit glad though. I always hated him now he's another great character.

I didn't think Fred or George would die.

Never even considered Dobby would die. I should've we know he loves Harry and would willingly die to save him.

I was disappointed Neville didn't kill Bellatrix but he did destroy Nagini. Go Neville!

I thought Fawkes would help Harry.

And I was afraid one fo the trio would die but maybe it was one of them who got the reprieve.

I didn't think Tonks and Lupin would die or be married at the beginning.

And I thought Lupin would fight Greyback.

There you go I was wrong about almost everything. I won't even mention Deathly Hallows I had no idea.

I was wrong about Wormtail killing Lupin. I didn't expect his silver hand would turn on him. But when JK said he wouldn't die from Wormtail I assumed he would go after Greyback for revenge....that was spoilt by Trelawney.

I thought Luna would die. I thought more lesser characters would die (eg Flitwick, Kingsley, some Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws), but it seems she prefers to kill our beloved characters.

I didn't think that any of the relationships were going to come out.

I thought that one of the trio had to die, or at least ginny, but I was wrong.
Some of it was predictable while I was reading the book. The moment I saw that george had lost an ear, I knew that fred was a goner.

I also knew that snape was good, it showed so much evidence.
I knew that Harry was a horcrux.
I also knew that the prophecy had nothing to do with neville lol
I, however, was completely wrong about the deathly hallows.

And by the way, I love the way that Jo brings folklore and legend into these books. The sorcerer's stone is the biggest one that I saw. But I thought it was funny the way that Remus used the name Romulus on the wireless (the two brothers raised by wolves that fought over the name of the civilization that later became Rome) That is the reason I knew that Remus had to die as well.

It was pretty sad when Dobby died, even moreso, to me than when dumbledore did.

I was one of the few that didn't think that RAB was regulus, it was just too obvious.

1. I thought Snape was evil. Turns out he's one the bravest people in the Harry Potter world.

2. I thought Draco or one of the Malfoys were sure to be killed. You can't believe how glad I am that I was wrong!

3. I thought that Harry could not possibly be a Horcrux.

4. I would never have believed that JK would split up Fred and George. After George was injured I felt sure that they would be safe. I cried for Fred.

Yeah I thought so too.

My predictions that were right:

Snape loved Lily.

Harry and Ginny got back together.

Neville became Herbolgoy professor.

DD didn't come back

Draco did not stay/make a good Death Eater.

1. I was right about Hermione and Ron getting married. Sadly. I hate that 'ship. Sorry to supporters out there.

2. I was right about Voldemort dying. It was kind've a 75% chance right?

3. I was right about Percy coming back and admitting he was an idiot. Yay! And then ... poor Fred. *sob*

4. I was right about Neville becoming Professor of Herbology. When JKR said "It's not who you think." that will be a teacher, well .. it had to be Neville.

5. I was right about Bellatrix being killed. I was however wrong about the identity of her killer.

I was right in thinking Hedwig would die.
I was right that Snape would die.
I had a feeling that Harry would be a Horcrux.
I was right that Ron and Hermione, Harry and Ginny would get together.
I thought that Snape and Dumbledore had planned DDs death, therefore Snape being good.
I was right that Harry would kill Voldemort.
I had a feeling that Lupin would die.
I thought Draco would come good.
I was also right that R.A.B was Regulus Black.

I really didn't expect Mad-eye or Fred to die though.
It was a big surprise that Molly killed Bellatrix.
I didn't know what the Deathly Hallows were, but when Xeno said about the stone i guessed it was in the ring.
There were still a lot more surprises which i was pleased about.

Not much but i got some right
Snape being good
Snape loving Lily
Harry being a Horcrux
Harry + Ginny
Ron + Hermione
Skip into the future at the end

thats probably it
and as this shows quite alot of it came as a massive shock to me!

I guessed that:
-Snape would be good
-Ron and Hermione would get together
-Harry and Ginny would ultimately get together
-Malfoy woul become good
-Harry would sacrifice himself to kill Voldemort
-The tiara in the Room of Requirement would be a Horcrux

Quite a lot of what I predicted was true
I thought that:
- Snape would die
- Neville would do something really daring
- Bellatrix would die (but not by Mrs. Weasley - that was a shock. I thought neville would kill her)
- Ron and Hermione would get together
- Harry and Ginny would get together
- The horcrux was Ravenclaws (not Griffindors)
- Snape was good
- Both Dumbledore and Sirius are really dead
- RAB was Regulus Black
- Harry would save Dracos life
- Percy would stop being an idiot
- The last battle would be at Hogwarts
- Snape loved Lily (much as I detest the ship)
- Harry and Voldemort would die (Harry did sort of die didn't he!)
- One of the horcruxes was at Hogwarts
- Death Eaters would raid the wedding
- Harry would kiss Ginny without meaning to
- Wormtail would save/not kill Harry
- Luna would be a fairly big character (ok she didn't have a very big part)
- Kreature took Regulus to the cave
- The ghosts would do something
- One of the Weasleys would die (I was hoping it was Percy )

I was so sad when Dobby died. I always imagined him living through it and becoming Harry's house elf.

Nads

A few of my predictions came through--mostly the ones that came true for others as well!

i knew that:

--RAB was Regulus
--Snape loved lily and that's why dumbledore never questioned his loyalty
--Harry was a Horcrux
--That a weasley would die
--That ginny/harry and hermione/ron would get married.
--that snape would die, but be vindicated
--Kreacher knew more about the cave
--the big battle would be at hogwarts
--that voldemort would die

but a lot of stuff i never guessed--like i didn't think tonks and remus would die, though i guess it makes sense since all the marauders are gone.

And i didn't think dumbledore's past would play such a large role!

There were also questions I was hoping would be answered but that didn't happen....but that's ok.

With a writer like Jo Rowling, I would be happy even if only one of my predictions come true. However, Jo has been gracious to give many hints, so we can score many, although several things are really beyond my fantasy.
Let's see:
- Harry is alive and lives a good life.
- Harry and Ginny together
- Ron and Hermione together
- Voldemort dies.
- Harry was a horcrux
- Snape was good
- Snape loves Lily
- Snape dies
- All Marauders die
- Hagrid survives
- Percy survives
- Bill and Fleur together
- Mr. and Mrs. Weasley survives.
- Lupin and Tonks together (but I didn't expect Tonks to die)
- RAB is Regulus Black
- Two of Harry and Ginny's children will be named James and Lily.
- Dumbledore was really dead.

i thought that sirius was alive
i thought R.A.B was alive
i thought Snape would live
i thought Harry would die
i thought Dobby would live (gutted i was wrong about this one)
i thought the whole Lily's eyes story would be something to do with the Horcruxes nothing to so with Snape very wrong)

so was wrong about alot of stuff really!

Against the brilliant Jo Rowling, I won't be ashamed to admit many of my predictions are wrong.
- I thought Voldemort will die at Harry's hand. Technically he is killed by his own spell. I am glad that Harry never kills anyone at all.
- I am also glad that I am wrong about Neville killing Bellatrix. Neville kills Nagini, I never expect that, but I am very happy with that. Thus, Neville never kills any persons.
- I would never have guessed about the Elder Wand or what the Deathly Hallows are. My predictions are not even close.
- I didn't expect Dobby and Hedwig to die.
- I have hoped that Tonks would be allowed to survive, when Lupin dies. Well, Teddy has his grandma to take after him anyway (just like Neville).

SPOILERS AHEAD

OK, I'll post more here than in what were you right about... Hee hee!

Anyway, I must be wizard minded because I never even considered Dobby or Hedwig dying!!!!!
I was almost more upset there than if a person died, because I expected unexpected people to die.

Fred was a surprise! In a thread about "the most upsetting death" in HBP, I put that I was sure that JKR wouldn't kill off one twin, because it would be too devastating to the Weasleys and to the twin who lived. When George lost his ear, I thought they were both safe!

I REALLY thought that Percy would get it after realizing that his parents were right.

I REALLY thought Hagrid would die, and had all kinds of cannon to prove it!!! I'm sure that he was the one that JKR had given a last minute reprieve, I just hope that Fred was not one of the two to get it instead!!!!!

Colin Creevy was unexpected.

Mrs. Longbottom was a hysterical surprise!!!!

I was wrong about Harry being a horcrux! Although I had said in one of the HBP threads that if he was, it would have to be in a way that he could live.

My biggest mistake, though, was my VERY FIRM belief that Sirius would be back! That's the one thing that I was REALLY disappointed about!!!! Had a lot of cannon for that one, too!

I also thought that Regulus was alive under the draught of the living dead, which I was sure was something that would be used in the book and wasn't... More polyjuice potion was the last thing I thought would be used... thought it was a been there-done that thing.

I also thought that Petunia would tell Harry something important, or show affection to him... the Dursley chapter was a bit disappointing... more questions than answers!

things i got right:
-the trio would live
-RAB was regalus
-ginny + harry
-hermione + ron
-snape was good
-neville is herbology professor
-aberforth would be a big help

Okay, I was wrong about Harry dying. I was so sure he was going to die.

I was wrong about him not being a Horcrux; I never really thought that theory was right, but I stand corrected.

I never thought Harry and Ginny would end up together, simply because I thought Harry would die.

I never thought Fred would Die

I thought Hagrid and Draco would die, but neither of them did.

I also thought Hermione would become a teacher at Hogwarts.

- RAB was regalus.
- Harry would let himself be killed by voldemort because he's a horcrux but would come back to life.

I had quite a lot of theories, so all though I got several things right, I actually got more wrong, so I went for the 'one or two' option on the poll. So the things I got right were:

Ron and Hermione being togther

RAB (although everyone knew that)

That Dumbledore was dead (I thought this before it was announced)

That Hogwarts would remian open

That the trio wouldn't return to lessons at Hogwarts

That Snape was good

That Grawp would help in the fight

That a Weasly would die (I didn't think it would be Fred though)

That Neville would be a Herbology professor

Voldy dies

That Harry would be willing to sacrifice himself

That Dumbledore would make an appearance (although I thought it would be through the portrait)

SPOILERS AHEAD - Although anyone coming in here is asking for them!!!
I'm only marking the main one.

I think that I posted more in the "What did you get wrong" thread than I will here... Hee Hee!



I was right about Neville being the one who would be a Hogwart's teacher in the end.

I was happily right about Harry and Ginny / Ron and Hermione!

I was definitely right on about Snape, especially about his friendship with Lily, except that I had it starting later at Hogwarts.

I was right about RAB bringing Kreacher to the cave, but I thought he'd make Kreacher drink the potion!

I was right about them having to go back to the MOM, but I thought they'd go for the locked room and the death chamber.

Neville showing his true colors came true for sure! I LOVED him!!!!

I was right that the Weasley family would stay mainly intact, although I never saw Fred as being the one to die!!!!! I thought it would be Percy!

I was right that Draco had no idea what he was getting into, and although he was a real slimeball, he wasn't real DE material.

I was right that there would be an important wand... although I was off a little on that one, too... I thought it was Ravenclaw's wand, and that it was a horcrux and Neville had it.

So in essence, I was a little right, and a little wrong... Oh well, it was quite a ride!!!!

-Something would happen at Bill & Fluer's Wedding
-Hermione would send her parents into hiding
-The Locket from book 5 was the horcrux Locket
-Regulus=RAB
-Lupin would die
-A Weasley would die
-Harry would visit Godric's hollow
-Petunia was jealous of Lily and that's why she hated her
-Harry was the final horcrux
-Harry would kill Voldemort
-Neville would do something big
-Harry & Ginny
-Ron & Hermione
-Neville would be the classmate that would become a teacher...and he would teach herbology

-I knew a Weasley would die but I thought it was probably Charlie. I would've never thought she'd kill one of the twins
-that Snape loved Lily (so many people predicted that hats off to them...I would've never thought that was possible)
-I thought the Dursleys would play a larger role
-I never expected that Dumbledore has some bad things in his past
