KimCL It was hard for me to imagine Harry, Ron, Hermione, Ginny, and Draco 36 years old and have children.
I didn't really like it. lol same creepy eek eek . Well JK could have had a one page book and still sell a million copies lol So she most likely did not really bother lol.

Well, I liked it. Oh yes, I wanted more. I would have liked more about their daily lifes. I would hope she would do more books but I do not think so.

I think the encyclopedia will basically fill everything in and will basically make the last chapter more well liked. And I wish it would of been longer but we were given what we given so we can't really complain. I wish it would of been like a daily life thing like on Hermione and Ron's wedding day and Harry and Ginny were already married and something like that. I thought it was good for the amount of pages it was.

It was supposed to be vague. She wanted it to be like someone was looking at them from a distance or something like that.
I loved it.
I don't see why so many of you dislike it so much, she did leave quite a bit out but she answered most of the questions we have in an interview.

Empress_Kat I think it was probably the worst chapter in the series. It was totally focused around Harry's kids and Ron's kids, and there were so many of them that I couldn't keep them straight and didn't really care to try. I really don't care about little Rose Weasley, or even Albus. Really, total lack of caring. I care about the characters I've been reading about for the last ten years of my life, and the best the Epilogue had to offer was 'Neville teaches Herbology and Draco's got a wife and a recedeing hairline'. Epic fail. Agreed. All the epilouge did was make me ask more questions. It was foul and evil of her to make us want more when she's determined for there not to be more! And i want to know who married Draco... I don't know why, but I have this burning curiousity to know who it was, and I'm not even a Draco fan girl! As for her interview answering our questions, that's not the point. If she's so determined to leave it all behind, she should have wrapped it all up, answered them there, end of story. That's what epilouges are for. Answering all other questions. All this one did was make us ask more!

I absolutly despised the last chapter of the book, it was an epic fail.
I dis-liked the last book alltogter as well, so I suppose it's not a big leap to realize I dis-liked the last chapter the most though.

For those who would rather imagine, the rest, I respect their opinion.
I loved that chapter...and.....I've been frantically finding all sorts of stuff that JK Rowling has said about past the epilogue. I can't wait til the encyclopedia comes out.

I'm still really up in the air on the epilogue, and I finished the book the day it came out. Sometimes I love it for giving us a brief insight into the characters' adult lives, and sometimes I hate it for answering fewer questions than it raised. I would have much prefered an epilogue that answered my one burning question, which is did Harry give Draco his wand back? Instead it added another question which is who did Draco marry? I hope it was Daphne Greengrass if it was a Hogwarts student, because I'm not the biggest Pansy fan.
Ultimately, I think the book would have been just as powerful without it, and the info she provided us in those few pages could have just as easily been put into the encyclopedia she has said she is likely to write. Besides, most of it wasn't new anyway: Harry marries Ginny, Ron marries Hermione. Big surprise.
Oh, and I may be the only one who thinks that the name Scorpius is cute for Draco's kid. It fits with the constellation theme of his family's names, and I'm a Scorpio, so I'm partial biggrin

lorraineleigh I also thought it was a bit short and I would have liked to know what everyone was doing. J.K. Rowling did an interview and some of our questions were answered........................................ I found the article from the Internation Herald Tribune website. SPOILER ALERT!Quote: Rowling said the world was a sunnier, happier place after the seventh book and the death of Voldemort. Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt. His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children — James, Albus, and Lily — while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet. Harry's best friend Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Hermione Granger, Ron's wife and the third leg of the series' dark wizard fighting trio, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house-elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children — Rose and Hugo. Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Pheonix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. AMAZING I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOLZ biggrin biggrin biggrin Im so sad its over! crying
