Day 25 - Nineteen Years Later, Are You Happy How It Turned Out, Or Do You Wish Something Was Different?Stating the blatantly obvious, I wish that a number of the characters who died throughout the war (Tonks, Remus, Severus...) had survived and were around for the epilogue set 19 years in the future. But aside from that major sore spot, my biggest gripe is how corny, cliché and predictable the entire situation was. Of course Neville Longbottom ended up as Herbology Professor. Of course the golden trio married their respective partners, although a part of me will always hope that Hermione married Severus. I still cringe whenever I hear the names of Harry and Ginny's children; James, Albus Severus and Lily. So he named his daughter after his mother and his sons after the two men who loved her? And Albus Severus, really? That name is almost as ridiculous as Draco Malfoy naming his son Scorpius. But as much as I whine and complain about how the characters ended up, I'm also rather happy. They're happy, and that matters to me. The war was won and that means a lot, it allowed them all to move on with their lives. While I wish I could change some of the story to fit my own desires, I trust Jo. She created and breathed life into this world. If she is content with it, then so am I for the most part.
Until next time fellow humans....
