For a while I thought so too, but then I realized that she had taken
Harry's story full circle. The first book is about his going to
Hogwarts and is written in a slightly childish style. This chapter
shows Harry, Ron, and Draco's sons going off to school just as their
fathers did in the first book. The hope is that they can create a
better world than the one their parents had. I loved it after I read
it with that idea in mind.
