In Which Locations Do You Think Battles Will Take Place in THBP?

I was trying to think of some good spots for some Wizarding Battles, but I could only think of maybe Hogwarts and Hogsmede. What do you Think?

no none.

What do you mean no none, there will definitely be some great battles.

I mean I couldn't think of any.

On the back cover of Half Blood Prince the Dark Mark is hovering over Hogwarts, with all the students outside watching it. Look like Voldemort wants to attack Hogwarts.

Well, the Dark Mark is used to call death eaters to that spot so there could very well be a battle on Hogwarts grounds....though I highly doubt it...

I think it will be on Hogwarts grounds if the Dark Mark is over it. Kinda makes sense, jah?

id say itll start in hogsmead then filter to hogwarts for the showdown

Maybe Diago ally.oR HOgsmade.I also agree with TheSun . that could mean he would attack Hogwarts.

Do you think there could be another fight in the Graveyard where The Dark Lord came back in. I think it would make a great battleground.

That would make an excelent battle ground.But is it possible?

Why?

Only because if there really was a battle on Hogwarts grounds you'd think there might be student casualties (not that students would go to fight though some of the older ones might try to)...

To be honest I don't think we'll get to see any huge battles, at least no bigger then the one we read in the 5th book. I'm sorry, I just can't picture wizards diving behind sandbags to engage in trench warfare... I just can't see it...

Oh, back to the Hogwarts thing though... How would they enter the grounds? It just doen't seem likely to me... However it could very well happen...

Voldermort is really powerful these days.he might get into hogwarts

I don't think so...not untill Dumbledore bites the dust...

I agree...I think that the only chance that The Dark Lord has of getting into Hogwarts is if Dumbledore is killed...Which I don't think is likely to happen until Harry's seventh year. But I disagree that there will not be more than one big battle. What else does this book have to focus on. All of the attention is going to be given to the 2nd War. Therefore, more than just one brutal battle with fatalities is going to have to happen.

Now, when you say "BATTLE" are you implying something larger then what we saw towards the end of the fifth book? I just can't see something like that happening. I disagree with the part about 'all the next book has to focus on is the 2nd war'... It's gonna be like any other year at Hogwarts with its ups and downs just this time, in the backs of every one's minds... there is the knowledge of a war waging.

Also, the only way we, as the reader, would witness a battle is if Harry is there while its happening. I dunno about you guys, but I don't think the Order is going to want Harry fighting in battles...

First of all the Order is not going to have much of a choice when it comes to Harry in Battles. He is going to have to fight eventually, and we all know that he is going to face The Dark Lord in this one. Second, I agree that it will probably be something like the past books, but to say it is going to just another year at Hogwarts is wrong. You have to think about the 2nd war and the effect it is going to have on the students life at Hogwarts. We have never seen the the wizarding world like this before so it cannot just be another year at school, and we don't even know what Hogwarts is like when The Dark Lord is back(and everyone knows about it). Lastly, when I said battle I did mean like the one in the last book, but I think there will be several smaller ones and one big one.
