Ending Good or Bad??? (Spoilers)

[Koblizzy]

I personally think that this ending was horrible. It was too simple to let all three of Harry, Ron, and Hermione die. I think that Ron should've died. I thought he might have tried to pull off one of those classic dives in front of Harry to save him.

[Vendelay]

I always thought Neville was going to die while doing something heroic. When he didn't die after killing the snake, I was a bit dissappointed. Otherwise I liked the end. (not the epilogue, though)

[Koblizzy]

yeah. the epilogue was a bit cheesy. did anyone but me also notice that if it was nineteen years later. Harry was 36 and already had an eleven year old son? isn't he a bit young? and that means that Ginny was 35. I still thought that it was too predictable that Ron would marry Hermione and Ginny would marry Harry. J.K. Rowling could've killed off Ron, and that would make an interesting chick-fight over Harry :rofl: I think that Hermione would've won...

I think the ending was great, specially with the Snape loving Lily thing, which was really unespected. The fact that Harry, Ron and Hermione lived I think is good, because she did kill many characters, and some of them very attatched to the story (Fred), but I´m shure that if she had killed Harry, Ron, or Hermione, you would have complained also...

I´m shure that if she had killed Harry, Ron, or Hermione, you would have complained also...

maybe. ron was always kind of a klutzy, good-hearted character. I'm suprised he didn't die trying to save harry or something like that...

i think it was good, ok it tells you who a couple of people are married to but you are still able to imagen what their jods are and what happend in those 19 years. persinoly i think harry is an auror or plays quidditch for england.

Iv just looked on wikapedia and Harry becomes an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. He keeps Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him, but can no longer speak Parseltongue after the destruction of Voldemort's soul fragment inside him. Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, then becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

Ron works for a time with George at his store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and later joins Harry as an Auror. Hermione finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she put on them. She initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.

Rowling also explained the fates of several secondary characters. George Weasley runs his successful joke shop, initially helped by Ron. George names his first child Fred, after his late twin brother. Luna Lovegood searches the world for odd and unique creatures. She eventually marries Rolf, a grandson of the famed naturalist, Newt Scamander. Her father's publication, The Quibbler, has returned to its usual condition of "advanced lunacy" and is appreciated for its unintentional humour. Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who acknowledge that his pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable. Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.

There has been a transformation in the wider wizarding world. Kingsley Shacklebolt becomes the Minister for Magic, with Percy Weasley working under him as a high official. As one of the reforms introduced by Shacklebolt, Azkaban no longer uses Dementors. Consequently, the world is now a "much sunnier place". Harry, Ron and Hermione also help revamp the Ministry in their respective capacities. At Hogwarts, Slytherin House has become more diluted and is no longer the pureblood bastion it once was. Nevertheless, its dark reputation lingers. Voldemort's jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA) position was broken with his death, and there is a permanent DADA teacher. A portrait of Snape, who briefly served as Hogwarts Headmaster following Dumbledore's death, does not appear in the headmaster's office as he abandoned his post. Harry intends to lobby for the addition of Snape's portrait, and reveals to all Snape's true allegiance.

ending was too "cheery" if u know wat i mean, but then again the book was aimed at a younger audience than we might all have anticipated

Yes! The book could of told you more about how his ambitions play out etc etc. That's why i was dissapointed with the ending..
