I think the movie is going to have to have a montage in the middle.
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I like that, too, about the whole series, MM.
A hungry, cold, and terrified montage.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I love how they screw up. And how they were not great at being on the run. (Well, except for Hermione and her magical purse. that was great.)

JKR's chat with the Leaky Cauldron:
J.K. Rowling: Hermione began her post-Hogwarts career at the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures where she was instrumental in greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She then moved (despite her jibe to Scrimgeour) to the Dept. of Magical Law Enforcement where she was a progressive voice who ensured the eradication of oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.
J.K. Rowling: Yes, Teddy was raised by Andromeda.
After a few years as a celebrated player for the Holyhead Harpies, Ginny retired to have her family and to become the Senior Quidditch correspondent at the Daily Prophet!

J.K. Rowling: Dumbledore understood Ron’s importance in the trio. He wasn’t the most skilled, or the most intelligent, but he held them together; his humour and his good heart were essential.

What about being a git and stomping off all the time? Was that helpful?

I was half hoping Ron would go evil so he could be smacked around some.

Hah--love this!
Abbey: Will the chuddley cannons ever win the quidditch world cup
J.K. Rowling: Bless them, perhaps. But they’d need to replace the entire team and down several cauldrons of Felix Felicitas.

Alicepie: What happend to luna, did she get married who to?
J.K. Rowling: She ended up marrying (rather later than Harry & co) a fellow naturalist and grandson of the great Newt Scamander (Rolf)!

move out and draw fire
One of the things I'd like to know is; what happened to Umbridge? It would've been nice to see her get her comeuppance.
See, I'm okay with her not being all of that. It's like...it's like, I'd be pissed if Condoleeza Rice got a state funeral. Umbridge thought she was Somebody, all important and stuff, but without either cheating or dominating children, she wasn't much at all.
And I liked that where they'd been all terrified of her before, now Harry just blew her away.
