I was disappointed she didn't kill one of the big three off. About halfway through the series I would have put money down that one of them was going to die. I didn't get the 'everything is going to end in sunshine and rainbows' vibe from her until that fucking epilogue.
(I base the following statements purely on the movie portrayal)
Too bad to. Ron was a character who kinda deserved to die. He spent the last half of the series being jealous and spiteful and many of the times he did a "good" thing it seemed really out of character because of that.
He honestly seemed like he'd be the type to get tempted by Hitler.. er.. I mean Voldemort, do a heel turn then get killed by someone who used to be his friend and, come the end of the series, I was rather surprised he didn't.

Yea.
SPOILER.
It's too bad what happened to Fred but at least he made it to the end of the story. He was always one of my favorites.
I'm curious as to what that alternate timeline would've held.

Reminds me a bit of the end of Mostly Harmless. Thank god that ending was fixed even if it wasn't written by Douglas Adams it's still canon (as far as canon goes in the Hitchhiker's Guide universe(s)).
Me, not so much. The divine prerogative must be wielded correctly and with a reasonable emotional state (if at all possible). Done wrong you get work like Douglas Adams' Mostly Harmless or... well, several Orson Scott Card series after the first or second book (Oh my GOD why aren't you dead yet, Ender?).vansau said:
If you read the end of the seventh book or saw part two of the seventh movie, you would know that Ron marries Hermione.Carrotslayer said:
Like 99% of the time I don't find captioned pictures funny. This is not one of those times.RandV80 said:Well Han Solo was supposed to die too, like Ron he obviously got to stick around for the children but it certainly would have been more interesting.
Also:
My question is, who is she spiting? Her fans? The characters? The big investors? Herself?
As an additional comment, doesn't JK Rowling look a little like Catherine Tate with blonde hair? Is that just me? Or do I just think all British people look alike?
Hey, and once again we see that spite can do pretty good things! Wouldn't have minded to much if he bit the bullet in the last book, but oh well.

Trade ron for dumbledore? And have gerard butler play snape to kick ron off the ledge. he should sparta kick more people in more movies.
Took the words right out of my mouth. More specifically, I wanted Harry to die. Not that "dead-afterlife-back to life" shit that happened, but truly die. The series had been getting progressively darker, with important characters being knocked off left and right. Specifically (spoiler) Snape's death was particularly moving. How noble an ending it would have been, for Harry to perish to save the lives of others, and everyone would mourn him with gratitude for his heroic spirit.Safaia said:
Instead, we got that maudlin epilogue with everyone just short of jumping in the air and giving one another high fives. It was a terrible ending to a decent book series. It still leaves a foul taste in my mouth that something so good ended up so ... cheesy.
