Regarding the epilogue, I think J.K.R. said that the epilogue had been written for many years and I’m betting that she will confirm, now that she can actually talk about it, that is the case. It did not seem to be written with the same craft as the rest of the book and I think she included it much as she wrote it long ago simply for her own personal closure. I bet when she wrote it, characters like Luna didn’t even exist. It would have been nice to have a little more on what happenned to some of the other characters. She may include that if she ever puts together her wizarding world encyclopedia that she has talked about.   posted Jul 25, 2007 at 3:37PM
