(Anonymous) 2008-10-06 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)I honestly don't understand why anyone likes the epilogue.
It really doesn't have as much to do with crack-pairings as you apparently like to think. Most people I know who hate it hate it on a purely literary basis. It has no point. It does not, in fact, actually answer any questions except for what their kids' names were. Who would marry who is a foregone conclusion, much as I still wish R/Hr hadn't been canon-confirmed, just so I could imagine that they eventually grew the heck up and found a nice healthy relationship with someone, anyone else. BUT. We knew who the pairings were. It served no purpose. It didn't tell us what they did, how the Wizarding World had fixed itself, what was different/the same now. The writing on it was of poor quality--written way way back in the beginning, and it showed.
And hey, here' something you may not understand--a lot of people couldn't give a flying poo about Harry or the Trio. Heck, screw them, a person with a brain could suss out "and they lived happily ever after." Initially, I was quite peeved that there wasn't even a mention of how George was doing (not so much anymore. WoG is bad enough, I don't need it in the books that George spent the rest of his life in a slightly creepy, author-admitted unhealthy relationship).
"Why wouldn't you want them to have a happy ending?"
Really, who says they wouldn't, without the epilogue? Maybe we just thought the books should end gracefully, instead of with that vague clunker.
But then, if you think Albus Severus is an appropriate name for a boy in the 90's, well..*shrug* no accounting for taste.

[pedantic]He wasn't born in the 90's. actually. My calculations place his year of birth in 2006.[/pedantic]
well..*shrug* no accounting for taste.
As much as I agree with everything else you said, I'd like to point out that ASP (heehee...) will grow up in the Wizarding World, where things are a bit different.
Frankly, I was more annoyed that all the kids were named after Harry's relatives and heroes... Did Ginny just not get a say or what? I suppose it could be argued that she let her siblings deal with the family name stuff, since Harry's the only member of his family left to carry on family names, but still

(Anonymous) 2008-10-07 11:10 am (UTC)(link)That really bothered me, too. It seemed to be all about what Harry wanted. Plus I felt that the kids couldn't have their own identities, they were mini-versions of Harry's parents, right down to their appearance. Yuck.
