oh, okay, I think where I disagree is that there's a missing part considering the scope. what we get as an endgame is authoritarian rule of the magical uk, which considering that we never seriously get away from the uk makes the stakes appropriate to all actors involved, including purebloods on both sides. it's weird to me to think that purebloods like ron don't have a motivation here. the conflict voldemort uses is an extant conflict already visible with the hogwarts founders. that conflict is already relevant to the magical britain voldemort is born into, and it already has a context (muggle witch hunting) which makes sense to have been the beginning but not a lasting impetus. the framing follows the endgame completely, and I'm not sure what adding post-win would have done, beyond raise the stakes in a way that necessitated expanding the scope of the books to outside britain...which isn't foundational, imo.

frankly, the fic from GOF on was amazing with expanding the scope beyond the uk, but i'm betting that it doesn't feel like you're missing something if you read those books 1-7 without interacting with fandom. i can completely understand preferring the larger fic takes tho.
