The HMS STFU -
|
| I found vaudree's predictions for DH on hpana:
1. Regulus Black is not the Bloody Baron 2. RAB is not the Bloody Baron 3. RAB is Regulus Arcturus Black 4. Mundungus Fletcher got himself arrested on Dumbledore’s orders so that he could 5. watch over Lucius Malfoy.
6. Zachariah Smith is related to Hepzibah Smith (same surname and both associated with Hufflepuff – though all Zack seems to like collecting is new bruises from Ginny probably because he likes her). 7. Only Gryffinders figure that Zachariah Smith’s Quidditch commentary is more biased than Lee Jordan’s. 8. Phineas Nigellus knows some of the reasons why Dumbledore trusts Snape 9. Minerva McGonagall and Myrtle are not related 10. Lupin will not be the new leader of the Order of the Phoenix because he is too much of a people pleaser to be effective in giving orders.
11. Dobby will become a full fledged member of the Order of the Phoenix and participate in the fight against Voldemort and the Death Eaters. 12. Nagini is in love with Voldemort because his animagus form is that of a snake and snakes go by sense of smell. It wasn’t Nagini who bit Arthur in the Ministry but Voldemort himself. 13. The longer one stays in one’s animagus form, the harder it becomes to resist the instincts and urges of the animal whose form one has taken. 14. The conversation between Harry and the Tom that came out of the Diary took place in Parsletongue. 15. Myrtle Will Be Used As a Weapon Against Dumbledore
16. The curse on the DADA position is lifted with Dumbledore’s death 17. Hagrid’s father was part goblin because he was too small to be a full blooded wizard. 18. Hagrid got his love of dangerous animals from his father (since Papa Hagrid likes big women and Fridwulfa likes smaller men). 19. Grawp is Hagrid’s mispronunciation Guelph, which was Fridwulf’s nickname for Papa (Ralph) Hagrid. It means little wolf and is one of the former names of the Britidh Royal family. 20. Grawp’s father was a mountain troll that Fridwulfa took up with because she was lonely without her husband and son.
21. Fridwulfa left her husband and son to protect them. She was afraid that they would become collateral damage if the Aurors tried to capture her in their presence. Fridwulfa also feared that Papa Hagrid might be killed trying to protect her. 22. Grunnings, the company Vernon works for, was founded by a wizard by the name of Alberic Grunnion. 23. Piers Polkiss is Peter Pettigrew’s son. 24. Dumbledore sent the Howler, not because he figured that Petunia would kick Harry out, but because he figured that Petunia would not be brave enough to stand up to Vernon to prevent Harry from leaving. 25. We will learn that the various forms of magic are not good or bad in and of themselves, it is the use to which the magic is put that makes it good or bad.
26. We will learn that Harry gave as good as he got when it came to Dudley. 27. Petunia’s tears usually cover up her laughter. For example, Petunia, like Harry, thought that Dudley looked silly in his school uniform and wanted him to go to another school. 28. Petunia fusses with Harry’s hair because she hasn’t given up on the idea that if she could get Harry and his hair to behave that Vernon would like him better. 29. Ludo Bagman was at the graveyard in front of the Riddle mansion. 30. Snape knew that Moody was Barty, the night Harry worked on the egg clue because he saw Barty’s name on the map.
31. Voldemort has not finished using the information he gained from Bertha Jorkin. 32. Goblins and House Elves were originally of the same people. 33. Fred is jealous of Percy, his other older brothers, and does his best to keep Ron down because he is afraid that Ron will outshine him. 34. Ron is racist against everything but muggles. 35. Firenze was Florence’s son.
36. Firenze will teach History or Astronomy after the Ministry does away with Divination. 37. Trelawney is fired and takes up her former residence at the Hogs Head. 38. Golgomath is a mispronunciation of Gulgoleth, which refers to the skull rolling around after its been cut off. 39. Lily was a Prefect during Snape’s Worst Memory. 40. Gryfindor Beat Slytherin for the Quidditch Cup During Snape’s Fifth Year.
41. Peter’s Silver hand, which is made partially of Unicorn blood, is Voldemort’s final Horcrux.
THEORIES I MAY NOT GET UP IN TIME
1. Neville Will Be a House Husband with a small Magical Plant business while the children are young and will then follow the children into Hogwarts as the Herbology Professor 2. Snape played Keeper for Slytherin. 3. Ginny used a Love Potion on Harry in HBP. 4. Harry will end up with Luna. 5. Ginny will End Up with Neville. 6. It will be revealed that Hermione tried to promote Ginny and sabotage Harry’s relationships with other witches because Hermione did not want Harry to date a girl that might later make a move on Ron. 7. George will be the First Weasley to Die

My favorites. Marquee'd for hilarity, and bolded for surprising possibility. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| That's a pretty interesting point. At the risk of going afield and off topic I read a fanfic in which an important plot point was Slughorn sabotaging the Wolfsbane under the Imperius curse.
Also: 1. Neville Will Be a House Husband with a small Magical Plant business while the children are young and will then follow the children into Hogwarts as the Herbology Professor
She wasn't far off with that either, since JKR did say Neville became a professor. :) | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
| The wolfsbane one could have been a cute one-liner in a Snape's POV fic. It's the best thing here.
Also, I approve of this marquee usage. | | (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread) |
| wut.
There aren't enough lols for this. I think her idea was to do the equivalent of the UK weather forecast (you go: scattered showers with occasional sunny intervals, prospect of snow, high temperatures in some regions, with varying winds) so that she might get something right.
My personal pick of the pops?
That Snape's Patronus is a Unicorn and that it reminds him of Petunia.
*chortle* way to miss several anvil sized hints. Frankly, if you hadn't figured out it was Lily by the end of reading book 1, you weren't concentrating. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |

| None of these are strict "WTF?" for me, but just head-tiltingly odd. Especially "That Dudley and Draco will be a couple and Pansy will take solace in Blaise's arms (the Belinda Stronach, Peter MacKay, Tie Domi, Condi Rice theory)", for some reason.
35. Firenze was Florence’s son. Who's Florence? Wasn't that girl Bertha Jorkins was spying on named Florence? Was that supposed to be Florean Fortescue? Inquiring minds want to know. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| | Ah, it's the throw-dozens-of-things-at-the-wall-and-see-what-sticks school of theorizing. And way to be bad at it, no less. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| | So what, five all total that were right? Maybe five and a half? Out of...70. Er, good on them for trying, I guess. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| | Um, so? This is from before the book came out, so it's not canon denial unless vaudree still holds to this, and it's got very little character bashing (admittedly, there's some -- "Ron is prejudiced against everything" being the most glaring example), so I don't see what it's doing here now. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| 13. Animorphs much? 15. Myrtle obsession much? 19. Wow. WOW. Really?? That stretches like Armstrong. 22. Bwahahaha, what the eff. 26. Abusive relationships don't work that way. 27. Are you serious. Petunia was just that stupid, kthx. 33. Out of nowhere much? 34. Prior evidence please! Percy is neither as straight-lace nor as rule abiding as Harry and Ron think he is: haha. no. That JKR has better taste in music than Lady Diana; What. Random crap is random. That Snape and Petunia once dated; Vaguely viable, but I don't see Snape dating a Muggle. It'd ruin his already crappy reputation. That Dudley and Draco will be a couple and Pansy will take solace in Blaise's arms (the Belinda Stronach, Peter MacKay, Tie Domi, Condi Rice theory) You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME. That McG and Hagrid will get together; This... I... What?! That Snape's Patronus is a Unicorn and that it reminds him of Petunia. .... | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| That Dudley and Draco will be a couple and Pansy will take solace in Blaise's arms
If it hasn't already been done, I hope some writes this as crack fic, because I am so there. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |

| This was a joke/spoof, right? Please tell me it's a joke.
theorclair on lj who realized she should sign her posts | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| Even more than the totally delusional ones ("Ron is racist against everything but muggles," "Ginny used a Love Potion on Harry in HBP") I like the ones that are just totally, bafflingly mysterious to me. They're little glimpses into a whole new world.
"Regulus Black is not the Bloody Baron"? Was it someone's idea that he was? A lot of people are not the Bloody Baron.
"Myrtle Will Be Used As a Weapon Against Dumbledore"? A little ghost-on-ghost violence, I guess. I love the way it's all capitalized, too, like I'm supposed to make it into an acronym. MWBUAWAD? That's pretty much what I said when I read it.
"Grunnings, the company Vernon works for, was founded by a wizard by the name of Alberic Grunnion." Because what better fits the theme of Vernon being the Muggliest of Muggles than a secret wizarding connection?
"Piers Polkiss is Peter Pettigrew’s son." When has alliteration ever let us down?
"That JKR has better taste in music than Lady Diana"? Seems to me, you wrote our Snape like a candle in the wind.... | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |

>6. It will be revealed that Hermione tried to promote Ginny and sabotage Harry’s relationships with other witches because Hermione did not want Harry to date a girl that might later make a move on Ron.
Hey, this one is actually half-right! For How I Met Your Mother, not Harry Potter, but still.
>40. Gryfindor Beat Slytherin for the Quidditch Cup During Snape’s Fifth Year.
Why would anyone care?
>7. George will be the First Weasley to Die
So close.
>That Dudley and Draco will be a couple

| 25. We will learn that the various forms of magic are not good or bad in and of themselves, it is the use to which the magic is put that makes it good or bad.
Um, wasn't this pretty much a central tennet of the series starting from BOOK ONE? How is this a "theory" vaudree was expecting to be proven just as we were going into book 7? It was laced throughout the first six books AND the seventh!
In other news: Vaudree will predict that the sun will rise tomorrow, without even checking an almanac first. ;) | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| My dad is yelling "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU LAUGHING AT??!!!"
Yes, I'm still LOL'ing hysterically at this.
Some were really good, like:
12. Nagini is in love with Voldemort because his animagus form is that of a snake and snakes go by sense of smell. It wasn’t Nagini who bit Arthur in the Ministry but Voldemort himself. 17. Hagrid’s father was part goblin because he was too small to be a full blooded wizard. LOLWUT? 41. Peter’s Silver hand, which is made partially of Unicorn blood, is Voldemort’s final Horcrux. Unicorn's blood, really? Ripper is an animagus and the real perpetrator of the events which happened the day Marge started to remind JKR of the Pig balloons at a Pink Floyd concert. wut? LMAO That Snape and Petunia once dated; WHAT?! Poor Snape, ew. That Dudley and Draco will be a couple and Pansy will take solace in Blaise's arms BRB, lolling forever.
Now I understand why this people were disappointed with DH. If THOSE were their expectations... then ANYONE could feel disappointed XD. | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |
| Ya know, I got pwned pretty badly in my own DH predictions (Harry is not a horcrux, Horcruxes can not be made "by accident", Snape didn't give a crap about Lily, to name just a few), but this is just...weird.
I'm most amazed that she seemd to think so much time would be devoted to so much pointless trivia. Why would it ever come up that "Only Gryffinders figure that Zachariah Smith’s Quidditch commentary is more biased than Lee Jordan’s", or "Snape was the Slytherin Keeper during the final against Gryffindor in Fifth year", or "Piers Polkiss is Peter Pettigrew’s son".
Some are just real headscratchers. "Grunnings, the company Vernon works for, was founded by a wizard by the name of Alberic Grunnion." What? Why? And this one: "Grawp is Hagrid’s mispronunciation Guelph, which was Fridwulf’s nickname for Papa (Ralph) Hagrid. It means little wolf and is one of the former names of the Britidh Royal family." Huh? Where did she get that from?
Now, I'd be truly impressed if she had predicted that the trio would spend so much damn time camping. It seems no one thought of that.

| 15. Myrtle Will Be Used As a Weapon Against Dumbledore
Huh..? I'm now picturing Dumbledore going "Noooo! Not my weakness, whiny ghosts!"
And what's with the obsession with random and compeltely unimportant characters like Hagrid's mum anyway? | | (Reply to this) (Thread) |

| "That JKR has better taste in music than Lady Diana" ...what does this have to do with anything?
"Zachariah Smith is related to Hepzibah Smith (same surname and both associated with Hufflepuff – though all Zack seems to like collecting is new bruises from Ginny probably because he likes her)."
This is just random beyond all belief. Smith is a (fairly) common surname, anyhow. And how does Ginny bruising Zacharias = he loves her?
"Snape played Keeper for Slytherin."
Randomness aside, I can't really imagine Snape as a kid playing Quidditch. It just...doesn't compute.
