Can you people even imagine what the overall fan reactions would've been if the ending wasn't as it is now? Leaving JKR's publicity issues aside, we'd be looking at 100k new fanfics where Harry is an emo cutter and travels back to 1991 to change everything. At least this way most fangirls are appeased and there're no more fics like NoFP on the horizon.

Jo started with a children's series in mind. She ended on the same note (in her mind anyway, there're children's books that incorporate real pathos but that also takes real crafsmanship in the author's part).

 

The ending was too pathetic. I really wanted Ron and Ginny to die.

And yes JKR's interviews suck, cause according to her Harry, Ron, and Hermione all pitch in and made the ministry of magic a better place without any corruption at all.... Right.

 

Next interview, the all-powerful Rowling will be explaining how Ginny's excrement manages to smell like daffodils, Albus Severus' wife and nine children, and how Ron was able to dose Hermione with Love Potion for over two decades. Well, maybe not that last one.

I stopped listening to the bitch the instant HBP came out.

 

Instant better Epilogue....

Kill Weasley's except Fred and George,
Harry marries Luna or Tonks,
Harry listens to Trelawney's prediction and has 12 children and becomes Minister of Magic.

Halfbloods start to kick this shit out of Purebloods.

Instant better Epilogue....

 

Kind of impossible, since she's already married to Lupin and has a kid. But that's a whole other kettle o' worms.

 

We can all dream can't we?

 

There's also the deadness. Because unless we're getting kinky with the resurrection stone, there's really no getting past that (besides the ubiquitous HBP/DH/Other Canon didn't happen).


And DumblesBasher, there are other, living, to-our-knowledge single DLP-approved females in the HP verse. Use them wisely.

 

It was more of my personal preference, but okay.

 

You are all forgetting what the best ending would have been for Harry.

Bellatrix does not miss and Ginny Weasley goes to whore herself off in Heaven. Mollywobbles, enraged, a potato peeling charm on her lips attacks Bella. Laughing, Bellatrix dispatches the Weasley matriarch.

Harry, free from the love potion induced influences abandons the Weasley family, seduces Fleur Delacour, kills Bill, whose uber coolness cannot help him against Harry Potter, keeps the elder wand and all the other delightful artifacts, marries Fleur and becomes Dictator of Magic. Sure he can become Minister, but Dictator of Magic has a certain ring to it.

 

Yes. Once, I had this dream:

Well... guess I got a bit off track there.

 

LOL. Death to the Author!

Someone should have assassinated JKR before the seventh book came out, and the seventh book wouldn't have came out.

Ok, so I am dreaming about how the seventh book didn't come out.

 

Albus Severus Potter, still has to be the worst name i've heard of for a Potter.
Sounds like a horrible slash story, except without the "/'s"

 

"Durrrrr, but Bill haas a earrrings!!!!!!!!! ZOMG nd a ponytal!!!!!111!11!!!!"

Bill isn't "cool". Fred and George are. Bill is the kind of guy you avoid in the streets, wondering if he's going to pull a knife on you and demand your wallet.

 

Wouldnt they need a gun for that >.>

 

<Innocently points at sig>

I've always wanted to write a fic, oneshot,or short story with a proper ending. E.g. a housewife didn't kill the Dark Lord's most prized General, and said General didn't miss by fractions of an inch.

Title: "What if it didn't miss?"
Type: Dark

Harry, viciously happy with being freed of the envious woman's grasp, goes on a spree. Mild (Excessive) violence and sex included.

Sounds good to me...

 

Or, said killing curse having struck cleanly, a righteously-enraged Molly Weasley avenges her daughter - Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, right?

Makes more sense than Molly dueling Bella one-on-one and beating her with her little girl still nice and alive, which was utterly preposterous.

 

... and Harry bear hugs Bella for finally killing the fire crotch.

If only JK gave Bellatrix precision aiming.

 

The stormtrooper effect strikes again!

 

Sadly an F is missing between the J and K in her name, or her brain matter would already have decorated her car.

 

:banana: yes but then again there are other ways that a person could kill someone...let's see, there's poisons, knives, acids, hanging, etc...
