With all the talk about hating the epilogue, I just wanted to chime in as liking it. For me, it ended what was an extremely dark, emotional book, on a lighter note. Yes, I would have liked to have known what ever happened to Hermione's parents ??? The Dursleys ?
I think what makes it stand out as such plain, Disney-like fiction is the stark, contrasting difference to the last books. All of the angst is gone.... the epilogue shows what I wanted for Harry, an uneventful, normal life. That, in contrast to what we've witnessed for him is glaringly different. It, by comparison, makes the epilogue look lacking. Again, I like it.... (even though yes, I would have liked more info about other characters).
