25. I actually rarely complain about the epilogue - except with others who agree with me, though I did dislike it. And it wasn't because my ships didn't work out or any of that, really, for the most part, I just didn't like how every one of Harry's kids were named after a corpse (two were a married couple - I thought that was a little awkward.) And that it didn't mention George. The twins were my favourite characters (Fred was my absolute favourite, as luck would have it) and I was just really wondering what George did with his life.

I also thought it seemed a bit rushed, but I understood that she would've been PROSECUTED if she didn't get it out after a certain amount of time, so that I didn't really get upset about.

But I don't ever run around screaming things like, "GAAAH, THE EPILOGUE SUUUUUCKED" or any of that. Its not like I could've written it any better. :/

I would have enjoyed a bit more closure as well. I am sure in time she'll reveal everyone's fates in interviews. But... that won't be common knowledge as most readers probably don't seek those out.

I still liked it though. Not to say it was perfect... but yeah.

Thanks!

She already did. On an interview to Mugglenet apparently, in a chat room it seems.

Yeah, once she said she was looking to eventually release an encyclopedia-type thing, I quit whining. XD;

She did say something of George's life in an interview, but it wasn't really enough to make me happy...for example, she said he "married and named his first son Fred" but she didn't explain WHO he married...not that she explained who Draco married, so its quite possible we'll never find out that little tidbit. :/ Ah well.

JKR already said that on an interview. George seems to have continued his bussiness, and despite never really getting over Fred's death, he got married, and named his first born (which lukily was a boy xD) after him.

Yeah, I read that in an interview somewhere, and that's why I don't really bitch about the epilogue anymore. XD

Still...I guess I thought it was important enough to make mention in the actual book. :/
