I was a little confused by that as well, but I had to leave it at "he pulled it out of a hat." As we have been reminded, "Help will always be given to those at Hogwarts who ask."

I, too would have liked to have been told about whether Harry, Ron and Hermione went back to school and what they and Ginny now do for a living. I assume Tonks' mom raised Teddy -- that's who he was with during the battle. And I also assume that Snape's portrait is indeed in the Headmistress's office (for I think McGonagall became Headmistress -- would have liked to know if she was still living when Albus left for Hogwarts).

And I don't think anyone told Dumbeldore about Harry's departure necessarily. Dumbledore saw that coming a year earlier. He would have had discussions with other members of the Order about it before he died.

I figured that Godric's sword coming out of the hat was just proof that it was tied to him and his legacy and not to the goblins, simply because they made it. The goblin definitely took the sword, but it returned to GOdric's heirs in their time of need. And to Neville! Oh I was soooo happy reading about him and how he finally came into his own. I always loved the character.

To be fair, I can't think of anything in the book I wasn't happy or excited to read about (even hte deaths were completely understandable and meaningful, if sad).

I do wish the epilogue had more detail- to be honest I was kind of puzzled by it- I KNOW that JK has in her head far, far more detail about these characters than she has ever shared in the books. She has to know what these characters are doing in 19 years. Why wouldn't she tell us? Is there going to be another book?

Things that made me go hmm....

She has said that there may be an encyclopedia or compendium-type book for charity that includes all of the things she had in her notes but didn't work into the books. Other than that possibility, she has said she has no plans to write anything more about Harry Potter.
