I think while that's somewhat true the film version added a few extra issues, like how implausible some of the actors look as middle-aged parents, Ginny being the biggest offender. Personally the thing I hate the most is that every single one of their offspring is named after two dead characters, does nobody just give their kids names because they like them in this universe? It was an extremely clumsy way to say "their sacrifices were not forgotten", It would have been much better to have the kids get off at Hogwarts and go past a memorial or something (or just leave the whole thing out completely).Semudara said:Ironically, while I thought that epilogue almost ruined the whole book by its inclusion and was really terribly written, I actually thought it was done WAY better in the movie. Maybe because it completely leaves out the cloying and unnecessary "everything is completely fine and great now, forever, no question" overtone.K12 said:Well as for my own examples. I was amazed that the final Harry Potter film decided to adapt the books' terrible epilogue chapter into a terrible epilogue scene.
I'd categorise the film version as "less awful" rather than "way better" (I realise that's very nitpicky by the way, sorry in advance)
