I don't have the ability to write the perfect ending for the Harry 
Potter saga but I've done the next best thing. I believe I've come up 
with the worst possible way to end it. I challenge anyone to come up 
with a last page of book 7 that is more disappointing, more artless, 
more joy destroying, more stupid, than this. If Rowling were to 
actually write something of this sort she would be hunted down and 
lynched by an angry mob of torch wielding fans. I'd be happy to bring 
the rope.


The applause every student and teacher at Hogwarts was giving Harry 
for his heroic defeat of Voldemore seemed like it would never end. 
Draco Malfoy gave him a sincere handshake and begged to be forgiven 
for all the terrible things he said about him. There were tears in 
the eyes of Snape as he hugged Harry like a brother. Dumbledore 
beamed at him with pride, put his hand on Harry's shoulder and 
said "Get up you lazy stupid brat! Why can't you be more like Dudly, 
he's such a sweet boy."
"What?" said Harry groggily as he looked around. He was in the 
Durseley's tiny closet under the stairs. "You heard me, wake up!" 
bellowed Uncle Vernon "You can't be late for your first day at work 
at the toothpaste factory. I'm tired of being Mr. Nice Guy all the 
time, you've graduated from high school now and your freeloading days 
are over, you're going to have to start pulling your weight around 
here. And no breakfast today, Dudly's on a diet." Harry got up, he 
wished it was real, he wished he really was a wizard, but he knew 
there was nothing special about him except that he was the only one 
at school who got picked on every day for having such a silly looking 
scar.        

THE END
