I think that J.K. Rowling's ending of Harry Potter should've ended with a big BANG! I mean come on, she only told us what happened to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville. She didn't even tell us what their jobs were! What do you think?
:)

I think that everybody was expecting the book to end with a big- BANG! Unfortunatly that isn't the case, but on wikipedia you can find the what they did,I think Ginny worked for the newspaper. I was hoping for some more info, but we were all disspointed.

Personally, I liked the ending Though it lacked a lot, it still protrayed what I think J.K. Rowling has been portraying throughout the book. Loyalty, love, friendship ect. It was a fine ending. A side difference from the first book of a tortured boy who finds he's a wizard to a grown up man with children. It's lovely, and I thin kshe did a wonderful job of writing it.

I liked it. From the first, Harry is the boy who had no family, whose only blood kin abused him.
One of the underlying themes in the series is Harry finding his family; Ron and Hermione (his true brother and sister), the Weasley family (If I'd been at the Ginny/Harry wedding, I'd have congratulated Molly and Arthur on being the parents of both the bride and groom 8^) ), Gryffindor and Hogwarts.
So for me, it was great to see Harry fulfilled as a husband and father.
Yes, it might have been fun to have seen more about other characters, but I was content (Professor Longbottom rocks!!!).

My stance is: "Epilogue? What Epilogue?"
I'm an avid fanfiction reader and could personally have done without the epilogue. I know a lot of fanfiction writers ignore it, and some have openly said that they could have lived without knowing many of the facts JKR revealed after DH was published. I mean, did we really need to know that Albus Dumbledore was gay to enjoy the book? The only result of this was a ton of NC-17 rated Grindelwald/Dumbledore true luv stories. *shudders*
Not at all my cup of tea, sorry.

opposite to the concept Harry did not die because he had the Hallows (Which he did not, by ability of ways, the wand changed into no longer in his possession right now, even regardless of the reality that he rightfully owned it). Harry changed into the unintentional Horcrux that Voldemort did not study, and at the same time as he changed into hit with the Killing Curse interior the woodland, it hit in basic terms the soul that changed into Voldemort's, and not Harry's. This also explains why Voldemort also collapsed interior the woodland (bear in suggestions how Bellatrix tried to assist him up, and he shoved her away?), it changed into because he hit his own soul. frequently one does no longer fall down after using the curse.

I thought the ending was good and did tie up several loose ends. But, I too would have liked a little more detail.

I thought the epilogue was a little sloppy, but I still liked it. Fan fictions are amazing. Haha!

She focused on the same types of themes that characterized the other books: friendship, loyalty, staying together.. . .would it have been nice to know their jobs, etc.? Of course! But, she chose to make a statement on the "really" importanr things: such as each other.

I think the whole Epilogue was totally corny.
