I may be newly joined to this group but I see no discussion about 
Horcruxes which were a huge part of the book and series. Which was the 
Horcrux people thought most important or meaningful?

Also, Does anyone else think JKR should expand the series, this time 
telling the story of Ron & Hermione's and Harry & Ginny's kids? 
Maybe they can face a new evil, not LV he should stay dead. How could 
he come back unless she gets crazy and makes another Horcrux pop up.

Bob:
Expand the series?  Heck yes!  But she had made it quite clear that it was draining her, and wanted to put an end to it.  She had also implied that she wanted no one else to be able to 'pick up on it' and write more about it. That was one of the main reasons so many people feared she was going to kill Harry off, to make sure it ended the series.  She did in effect set some parameters with that epilogue, but it still allows for many years of activity in between, battles cleaning up the DEs, continuing education, jobs, engagements, weddings, births, other 'bad' people.  

I am not sure that I would jump right to their kids, afterall there is quite a large time frame to fill in first.  

As for the horcruxes, I would say "Harry", it was sort of there all along, all his 'dark magic' skills, the connection with LV etc.  but it never really came out till the end.
