What would have been your ideal epilogue to book 7?

[Giovanna Clairval]

I said Hogwarts because Neville would be there for his first assignment. A sort of celebration.

Neville's evolution was one of the developments I preferred.

But it could be anywhere else.

The children, all right, I was happy to know their names. An epilogue centered on them and on parenting, even with a witch and a wizard as parents, well, that was not in my dreams.

I guess that is a reason to be at Hogwarts but I would think it would only be the closest people to Neville so it could be anywhere.

If JK does eventually bring out an encyclopedia there will be a lot of discussion here I would think about what people agree and disagree with.

[Giovanna Clairval]

Which place would they go?

[Majimaune]

Well they could be at any one of those friends houses...Mayhaps 12 Grimmuld Place?

[Giovanna Clairval]

Yeah! To brighten up that place a little.

[Majimaune]

Yeah well one question is did Harry and Ginny move in there? They probably did and doing so brightening the place up, making it livable.

[Giovanna Clairval]

Most women wouldn't like that dark house. And the corridors. Seen the corridors?

[Majimaune]

Oh yeah well me as a guy would love to live in that house. I guess Harry would because its a tie to his godfather. Ginny would have gone along with that I think.

[Crazihors]

I didn't like the epilogue...I couldn't keep track of all the kids, and i didn't like the idea of a balding Malfoy, and if she wrote it so there wouldn't be any sequels, then it didn't work, because it was so vague anyone could make anything out of it.

How about a ten-year Hogwarts School reunion? I like that idea.

The fair warrior here?

Yeah, a ten-year-after school reunion, with no dark corridors but moving stairways (I'd like that: my lift isn't working)

*slips out to eat a nice sandwich*

I loved that house! I love the thought of dark, dank corridors, spiders, webs, and little creatures lurking around the place. Then again, I'm weird.

The fair warrior here?

I like that nickname, fellow warrior.



Edit: My 700th post! Wow!

Purpish server! Let me post!

Congrats for the 700s!

That Grimmaud house was a wonderful goose-bump raiser for a snug evening with chocolate and mint and reading in bed.
It must have been fun to write too (I liked the vacuum cleaning in the OotF, a LOT),

but Ginny wouldn't have liked it for living there with the kids
(Genni was just trying to support Ginny)

[Leisha]

I think Ginny would've got used to the place -- especially if it meant a lot to Harry (the house should've done, anyway, since it was Sirius's!). And kids love the idea of a spooky old house. I know I would've.

[Giovanna Clairval]

Maybe, after a lot of house improvement

Argghhh why did I say that?

I hate the Plumber! And the Architect is a PURP!

Give me my wand back! I'm gonna transmogriphe them into horned slugs!
