It would have been nice to see Hagrid there, even just waving to 
Harry, Hermione and Ron.

 I don't know, Hagrid would've been pretty darned old, huh?  Hagrid was 
 there when Tom Riddle was a student; the Lexicon has his birthday as 
 December 6, 1928.  If the epilogue was set in 2017, that would make 
 Hagrid 89 years old.

KATIE REPLIES:

But we know Hagrid was still alive, because James (or Albus. I can't 
remember which), was having tea with him at school. Harry reminds them 
of it as the kids are leaving. Would 19 years have made that big of a 
difference in his health/stamina? Interestingly, do giants have a 
longer life span than wizards, who we already know have a longer life 
span than Muggles? Maybe Hagrid will live to be two hundred or 
something! KATIE
