Update: Slate agrees. "Did we really go through all this just to see Harry, Ron, and Hermione take up residence on a cul-de-sac?"
Worst epilogue EVER.
Obviously written for 6 year olds.
So... you go through what you go through and 19 years later, you're reduced to being a BORING ADULT.
That's it.
Get married.
Move to the suburbs.
Have babies (according to the math starting at 23 or 24 years old)
ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
No mention of world travels.
Not a peep about career.
Professional athletics?
Scientific advances?
Insights into psychology of evil?
Nope, he's a dad - and from the lack of additional information, it appears he's just a dad.
I mean its fine to be a dad, who here would be here without a dad, but I just think there should be a little more to the characters at that point.
At least some nod to the legitimacy of life outside the whole marriage/suburbs/babies choices for a main character.
I get the whole "the boy without a family wants a family" thing, but it's such a horribly 2D version of family that it just seems jarring in comparison to the rest of the tale. It's like happily ever after in a fairy tale - believe in such simplicity and you're doomed to a life of disappointment.
Where's the fullness, the color, the adultness and complexity of our now adult characters?
Boring adults.
They've been reduced to stereotypically BORING ADULTS.
*sigh*
