I see your problem but I think it would have been worse if she ended it otherwise. As in, this is something she should have needed to deal with from earlier in the books. Like, all the people mentioned in the epilogue she had been setting up that way since earlier, it wasn't like it all happened after the war. I would be more offended if she changed some of that because it would feel like she only put it in as a twist ending rather than a showcase of a regular relationship. Unless you just mean why couldn't some of them be left single or childfree then IA with you
But I kind of take it back because yeah the trio,george,bill,draco but for instance Percy was vague enough throughout the books that he could have had a different ending. Although on the other hand when you think about it it's not everyone- you have people like I mean Neville who is main character and Charlie who is a Weasley aren't happily paired up and kiddied and when you really look at it it's not really everrrrryone so idk

Conflicted...I know this probably made no sense. I think my point is that all the people that we see paired up and with child in the end were headed there- if she had changed it then it would have seemed like pandering. so maybe she could have started the whole thing a bit less traditionally back in book 1. although tbh HP is not who I look to for this sort of thing. So I think agree with you, but I don't think it's the epilogue's fault and I wasn't surprised or upset.

Actually, I think the only couple that was really worked through in a decent manner was Ron/Hermione (even if one doesn't like it, it was properly foreshadowed, the two of them were close and the attraction was gradually shown through jealousy and misunderstandings). Harry/Ginny was sloppy and tacked-on, and the rest was more or less "yeah, these people got married and had children".

What I would have liked was for Harry to realise that he already had the family he'd been looking for. His friends, the Weasley family, all the bonds he'd made during his time at Hogwarts which had turned into his true home over the years.

IM R/Hr was long overdrawn and I hated it, it just dragged to much and both of them were annoying as hell because of it. People may say it was done properly and worked but not for me. H/G was fine cause it was foreshadowed since book 2, I could see the attraction and that light bulb moment and then how they worked and how much fun they had - which is how things happen to me myself none of that omg let's sit here with our feelings for years and be twats about it and I still don't know why they like each other.
There are other ways relationships happen basically.
