***SPOILER ALERT***
- **Spoilers for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows lie here. Read at your own risk***
Rowling reveals a little more about what happened after the end of the book.
As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head.
“Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department,” Rowling said. “They are now the experts. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what else they’ve done.”
Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron’s wife, is “pretty high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in “Deathly Hallows.”

To heck with the Potters, tell me Draco's wife's name, what he's up to and how often he and Harry get together without their wives knowing about it? And does Ginny stay at home and watch the kids or what?
I want to know all of those things, too!
I'll bet he marries Pansy. Cause ya know - he IS one.
I vote for Ginny being a professional Quidditch player.
Hmmm. I kinda like the idea of her being the charms professor. But pro-quidditch works for me, too.
OR, she goes into the shop with George and Lee.
I was under the impression that Harry survived because of the Deathly Hallows.
He had the cloak. He'd just had possession of the Resurrection Stone. And, as we find out later, he was "master" of the Elder Wand.
According to the story, that makes him the Master of Death, able to choose whether or not to die. And Dumbledore offers him that choice in King's Cross. Harry chooses to go back for his friends' sake.
I really thought this was where JK was going in the plot: That because Harry possessed the stone and the cloak that he was not able to be killed. But since there was a discussion about it at King's Cross, I figured my speculation was DUMB. I thought to myself around 2/3rds of the way in: THAT'S why Dumbledore wanted him to get the Hallows. This is the only way he would defeat Riddle!
BTW, Amazon is selling a box set of all seven hardbound books. The set is in a suitcase with a lock and goes on sale in September.
I've seen it and I really really want it, but I'm going to be saving my pennies because what I REALLY want, is a set of UK books - all first edition.
If My F-List Had Written DH--Omigod so hilarious!
I was under the impression that Harry survived because of the Deathly Hallows.
I was under the impression that the "master of death" aspect of the Dealthy Hallows was the fairytale part of the legend, and that the three Hallows were just really powerful magical objects that people were trying to collect for the sake of having the complete set.
a set of UK books - all first edition.
- gasp* Seriously? They're for sale?
