Ill start...What did yall think of the epilogue? It was probably the only part of the book i was disappointed with...I mean heck after 750+ pages..She couldnt extend it out another 20 or so to give us a real "where are they now" situation. I wanted to confirm that Harry and Ginny and Ron/Hermione ended up together but I also would have liked to know what else was going to happen.

I mean lets be honest. Harry wasnt going to ever just lead a normal life, but JK made it sound like he was just a plain old person.

The epilogue was pretty crappy IMO. It contributed nothing, and the book would have been better without it.

Yeh, I didn't like it either. It should've been an epilogue from one month later, perhaps... Or an epilogue that far into the future where things aren't all rosy. I'd have preferred it to be semi-happy. I did like the bit where Harry says how Snape is the bravest headmaster ever etc.

ehh the epi worked fine enough for me...basically made the story come full circle..harry/draco/herm/ron first introduced as kids heading off to hogwarts and it ends with them sending off their kids to hogwarts. Plus it shows how mature Harry as a adult had become in realizing how huge of a role Snape played in saving both his and all his friends lives. Even post Snape dying I figure Harry still might hold some bitterness towards Snape given his age.
