Look my real problem with the Harry Potter Epilogue is that it didn’t tell us anything. All it told us was which ship was canon and then expected us to care about various shittily named sprogs. We learnt nothing about what was happening in the wizarding world! A wizarding world that was so corrupt and destructive it had produced two dark lords within a century. I don’t give a shit that Teddy was kissing whoever. What happened to the ministry? What happened to the remaining Death Eaters? Are goblins and werewolves still second class citizens? Do the Golden Trio have PTSD? Do they have jobs? What the fuck did the foreign Wizarding world think of Britain imploding twice? “good news the French finally took the forcefield down but we’re on probation so behave”. Was a system set up for baby wizards and witches who didn’t have appropriate homes to go back to? (hello something Harry would be interested in!) Was Dumbledore literally the only gay wizard?

You know if I was cynical enough I would suggest that Rowling deliberately didn’t put stuff in so that “Pottermore” would be popular.

but here’s an ending for you: all that bullshit about Albus Snivellus, and then, after “All was well.

Until the muggles found us.”

bOOM. end of novel. a thousand fans screaming, instead of, you know, laughing.
