| Re: What would have been your ideal epilogue to book 7? The epilogue was really to close down the series and try to ensure it couldn't be extended. To address all of her fans' queries she'd have to virtually write a whole new book. We'd want to know about every character and situation we'd come across in the seven books: characters, relationships, punishments, careers, staff at Hogwarts etc. Yet, story-wise, she was already finished. So, where to draw the line? I'm very happy with what she put. To write an extra book: she's already implied she will, in the form of an encyclopaedia, which can include on the end of most entries what happened after the Battle of Hogwarts. |
