I found some of the deaths really sad and a bit pointless at first (like Hedwig), but I guessed it was just to set the mood of the book...

Yeah that'd be weird. Ron was so stupid to leave the others! And Harry! He says "Voldermort" and sets off the alarm just when they started making headway! Its a pretty grim book

I know. I'm on the Half Blood Prince (re-reading them all) and I hate knowing the end is coming.

I wasn't impressed with the epilogue, I wish we'd found out what jobs they did. I mean, Harry wanted to be an Auror but did he become one?! The rest was ace though, love Harry Potter.

He did.

Quote:
In an interview[4] and online chat,[5][6][7] Rowling gave additional information on the futures of the main characters that she chose not to include in the epilogue of the book. She stated that Harry becomes an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. He owns Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him. Because Voldemort's soul fragment inside him was destroyed, Harry can no longer speak Parseltongue. Harry's best friend Ron works for a time with George at his store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, eventually becoming an Auror. Ron's wife Hermione initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws. She also finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she put on them. Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, then leaves her athletic career behind for marriage and family with Harry. She eventually becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

The fates of several secondary characters were also revealed by Rowling. Surviving twin George Weasley runs his successful joke shop, helped by Ron. He names his first child Fred, after his late twin brother. Erstwhile Dumbledore's Army member Luna Lovegood searches the world for odd and unique creatures. She eventually marries Rolf, the grandson of the famed naturalist, Newt Scamander.[7] Her father's publication, The Quibbler, has returned to its usual condition of "advanced lunacy" and is appreciated for its unintentional humour. Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who acknowledge that his pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable. Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.

Oh my god, wowness, I wish she had included that in the epilogue. I am far more satisfied with that information, thank-you for posting =D

She's doing an encyclopedia, so I hope everything's explained in there.
