Right. But life goes on, and so do the jokes.

It wasn't that the epilogue was vague, it was that it included unnecessary information and did not include other probably important information and was, on the whole, rather poorly executed. Oh yeah, definitely. Not just that, it only dealt with the main characters. Which, I guess is good, but sometimes you want to hear about supporting characters...well, I do anyway. And maybe J.K. wanted it to be vague, but I certainly didn't. Yes, I wanted to know about George! I was so upset that no one cared about Fred's death.

Everyone cared about Fred's death, we just didn't hear about George in the epilogue.

Here are a few of the things I'd like to know that J.K. hasn't yet gone into detail about:
- What did Lily and James Poter do to thrice defy Lord Voldemort? - What is behind the loced door in the Department of Mysteries? - What is going on with hat archway thingy? You know the one that Sirius fell threw? - What did Dumbledore REALLY see in the Mirror of Erised? (My guess would be is family, but what does everyone else think?)

Spoilers:
The locked door contains the power of love as Dumbledore said in OoTP. Dumbledore's desire was to see who really caused the death of his sister: Grindelwald, Him, or Aberforth.

Actaully, JK said that his desire would be to see his family standing around him, all of them happy, not imprisoned, and not dead.

And where did she say this, I may ask?

She did a live web chat with Bloomsbury (I was reading it all) and someone asked that question.

Dumbledore said that in OoTP? I guess I wasn't paying much attention. And concerning his desire, that would make sense.

That interview made me happy.
That's a good question though, Nicky. What DID James and Lily do to thrice defy him?
Stewart, did you miss the part when it said everyone was crowded around Fred sobbing? Did you miss the part where it took forever to get Percy to leave Fred's body? How can you say no one cared!
I never saw Ron as an Auror either, PJ. He's a good wizard and stuff, but just not the sharpest.

I heard that George named his first kid Fred. My reliable source on this matter is Betsy.

Yea, I think JKR said that on the transcript.

Ron and Hermione's other child, Hugo, was so named because that was Fred's middle name. I also want to know which people voldemort killed to make which horcruxes.

I miss Remus. I'm sad. The epilogue did not appease me. JKR should not have killed off Remus. Especially in passing. And leaving his son orphaned. We get it. Good people with babies die. But why did it have to be Remus. ;-;

Because all the marauders had to wind up dead? She wanted to convey the true evil of Voldemort even further. Oh and Dolohov killed Lupin, Bellatrix killed Tonks. JKR said so in an interview.
