I agree with you. The only information we got was on the three main and Ginny and Draco. What happened to Luna, the other Weasleys and such? I know we got interviews with it in, but people who can't access then won't know unless some one else tells them.

And if there is anything through out the books, it's the no matter what happens, whether it be a marriage, a birthday or something; there's always an underlying sense of evil there. The epilogue totally destroyed it because the only "evil" in it was Al thinking the hat might put him in Slytherin.


The books were fine as they were and gave you a real sense of something. The epilogue's more like something out of a fan-fic or some one elses book.

I wonder if the epilogue was a reflection on JKRs life. The 19 years is about the time from her original idea and the production of movie seven. I believe she has three children, so does Harry. She may no longer be troubled by the scars of her past. If we knew what her original inspiration was, it might explain the epilogue.

May be she will tell us more in the encyclopedia she wants to make. I too wanna know more about the other characters but she won't tell every fat of every character cause they are many, aren't they?

I think that is the plan for the encylopedia. More details and backstory that she couldn't fit through out the series. She said in the MSNBC interview that:

She also said;


But we my have a wait on our hands...

Anne Rice co-wrote an enclypedia type book for her Vampire Chronicles series. It was called the: Vampire Companion - The Offical Guide to Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronciles. It was a fan's dream. It was 500+-pages of maps, illustrations and photos, bits of Anne Rice information, a time line, in-depth character biographies, cross-references characters, plots and themes from each of those books, plus contains exhaustive research.

If JKR follows that example it would be wonderful. Sure every question still may not be answered but a little mystery is a good thing for everyone's imagination.

JKR's own words on the epilouge:

The Epilouge was a bit to...how should I put this?? Too perfect!!
I mean everyone got their happy ending and everything,but for a author that killed many beloved characters throughout 10 years,the ending was to happy!! But apart from that it was O.K

Epilouge? Deathly Hallows doesn't have an epilouge, what are you talking about? (I really hated the epilouge so I'm pretending it doesn't exist)

Me, too! I'm not reading it when I re-read either. It was pretty pointless and VERY cheesie.

I thought that the epilogue was good; it showed that despite the tragedy, life moves on. However, I didn't think the epilogue fit the rest of the book. The whole book was a dark story about Harry looking for the horcruxes and eventually realizing that he had to accept his death, and the epilogue was just " . . . and they all lived happily ever after."

I thought that the epilogue was great, but I was kinda sad it wasn't a bit longer, or we got a bit more information. I was pleased with the relationships and since Harry was an only child and all that he had three kids. I started laughing when Ron said that he passed his drivers test. But all in all, I was pleased.

I was disappointed by the epilogue! There wasnt anything about Hagrid or Luna or anyone at all..it almost seemed like a forced chapter just to make out the point that "all was well". I wouldve expected a lot more from the last chapter of the series

That said I loved the Ron and Hermione bits of the epilogue, Im the biggest RonHermione fan ever!

the Epilogue didn't quite fit in with the story. It would have been great to find out what happened to the other characters. It was like something out of fanfiction and too sickly sweet..it was cute & fluffy I guess.

I think she copped out and wrote an easy ending.

As I have expected, the story plot ended w/ H/G & H/R but never imagined Draco would still be a little evil. But it was all expected. I thought Harry's scar will be gone after killing Voldemort.

As far as who Victorie is, it is Bill and Fleur's child. Check out Wikepedia, there is a huge family tree on that site that shows all the generations.

Some things that bugged me, 1. Did Harry become an Auror? 2. I wanted to know what James' middle name is, was it Sirius? 3. What did he do with Kreacher. 4. Did he keep Sirius' house?

I cried when he told Albus that Sirius was the bravest man he had ever known. How awesome was that?

i want to know who draco got married to.. maybe he never got married but or divorced=)) he could have taken the custody!!! yup thats it he's single...

I didn't like the epilogue much, was too sappy and sweet for my tastes, those things I often like be left more to my imagination, and thought it weakened a spectacular ending. But then again, it being a childrens book too, I can understand why the epilogue's there. One can always choose not to read it right? I have read the book twice now, but have yet to read the epilogie for the second time. Am going to, but I chose not to directly after finishing the book for the second time. The book is more complete without it to me, and indeed I thought it was a bit too fan-fiction-y. (Great word but you get my meaning).
There were things I liked a bit though, just for fun. Names of kids and such. So it wasn't all bad, just I personally could have done without.
