I think you're right. House-elves or centaurs or giants or... some non-human sentients are going to be very important. If she pulls it off well, that's better than the literal gay character. More thematically appropriate, at any rate.
Yeah, and she's been leading up to it: Harry's reaction to the fountain sculpture, all the references to the goblin wars, Hagrid's expedition to the giants, the centaurs, Lupin...it's going to be a big part of book 7 is my guess.
I was hoping Fudge was a non-entity by now. Maybe he's a sekrit Death Eater, that'd be okay.
Those five were actually kind of off the cuff, and this one was more...I wonder how the wizarding world is going to deal with the former fence-sitters and whatnot when push comes to shove?
And... okay, a Weasley can die. But not Ron and not one twin without the other. (Have you heard? Ron has to go back in time and become Dumbledore! Courtesy of archive.org: Weasley is our King! )
It'd be okay if Percy died. Okay, Percy prediction: either a)he comes running back to the fold early on, and finally stops being a weenie and redeems himself by doing something heroic-like, or b)sticky end.
I'm in favor of bringing back the phrase "sticky end", can you tell?
