I thought the epilogue in the film was handled better than in the book, the only line that was really necessary was the "you are named after two headmasters of Hogwarts, one of them was a Slytherin, and he was the bravest man I ever knew." While Deathly Hallows is my all time favorite book, the epilogue feels kind of awkward and clunky at times. I would have been perfectly happy if the book ended with "I've had enough trouble for one life." Plus, if it ended that way, it would have left open more possibilities about what happened post Year 7.
