I've been a lurker but the so so disappointing epilogue compels me
to post.
How could JKR assume that all we'd want to know is who ended up with
whom - So many questions unanswered - what occupations did they
have? Who was the new head of Hogwarts? What kind of a new society
did post-Voldemort wizard world evolve? What about the elves?
Nineteen years later Harry and co are only 36 and yet have children
who are over twelve - so is one to assume that they married
immediately and then went on the reproduce serially - I'm sorry but
this vision of domestic bliss leaves me completely unmoved! The focus
seems to be on establishing that after years of a roller coaster
ride all Harry wanted (and apparently got!) was predictability and
three children!
