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.

So Harry and Draco will never be friends. They don't have to be, because as Spike says, "You'll never be friends."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
What's odd about that interview (which I loved) is that she gives Ron a different future. I'd believe that one more than that he became an Auror, gallivanting about and fighting Dark Wizards with his ol' chum Harry Potter. He'd have way more fun with the joke shop.

Art Crawl!!!
Well, I can see that he could have done both - - started off in the jokeshop and then later become an aurer - having been brought in by Harry.

Yeah, that's true. I could buy that.
Someone noted the irony that Voldemort possessed the former Muggle Studies professor.

One thing that kind of bothers me. If Harry wanted to die a natural death and break the spell of the wand, why did he become an auror? Now, if a dark wizard beats him, and figures out the secret, the wand is back in play. Or maybe that's JKR's plan.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
He said he was putting the wand back in Dumbledore's tomb. Though I suppose, anyone who knows the story could theoretically kill Harry (assuming that's possible) and then swipe the wand.

right, that's what I'm saying. And I think that it's definitely possible to kill Harry. The only reason that Voldemort didn't was the horcrux.
And speaking of, do wizards live longer than muggles?

All is well that ends in pizza.
On the other hand Harry, being who he is, would almost have to become an Auror in order to be up to fending off the occasional lone wandslinger that would come into town hoping to take down the great Harry Potter.
