I agree, my problem with the ending was it felt more like, it was
written with the attitude that she'd better hurry and get it written
that she had run out of gas from all of her other great writing or
something. Even if she had written it years ago, it should have been
revisited. It was not only rushed, but kind of trite.  I like that
she showed the relationships of most of our old friends and enemies,
but still, she's saying goodbye to a beloved character.  She claims
Harry was like another child and in fact HP changed her whole life,
I think he deserved a better goodbye.  Like others have mentioned,
tell us the careers of our favorites, anything except for making it
feel like a rushed job.  The last chapters of all the other books
took the needed time to explain things, why not the final epilogue
of an entire beloved series?

  That said, I love the whole series, think JKR has a great
imagination and is a great story teller and wish she would still
write other books.  Yes, they may never in a million years live up
to HP (what could?) but still I think my children and myself would
have benefitted from more stories by this great author!
