I’ve only just got the book, barely read any, but I already know the end­ing — the cover gives it away.

Look here, on the back cover, just start­ing to appear over hogwarts:

That’s right, it’s the NCC-1701.. D? I think it’s the D, but it could be an ear­lier model. You prob­a­bly know it bet­ter as the Enter­prise, from Star Trek

That’s right: The Enter­prise is going to arrive at hog­warts, reveal that Volde­mort and the Demen­tors are aliens, use some vari­a­tion on the Cor­bomite maneou­ver to trick them out of hid­ing, then chase them back home (and gen­er­ally save the day).

J K Rowl­ing, you’re a genius.

The image of the NCC-1701 A comes from Randy Asplund’s site, which you should visit to see more of his work.
