I absolutely loved the 19 years later part, it was so emotive and felt like a really natural ending to the series. However, I have only one question that will be forever unanswered - What did Harry, Ron and Hermionie do for careers? I think it was a bit unfair of JK not to put this in, especially since she informed us that Neville became a Professor.
She exposed on an NBC 'TODAY' interview what they did. However, I can't recall exactly what she said. Try to find the interview on youtube, or a transcript, or something of that sort.
She'll also go into much more detail concerning...well...everything with her 'encyclopedia.'
Ditto. And it only focussed on the trio and frankly...I don't care about any of them. I'd've rather heard some more about some of the other characters.
Though one of my friends commented that Hermione and Ron probably named their daughter Rose after having a fight where Hermione shouted "YOU'RE NOT NAMING HER RON!" at him, which I found very funny and very in-character for those two

ran and harry are aurors( harry's the head auror). Hermione's high up in magical law enforcement. Luna's a naturalist, living and exploring in the wild. Hogwarts has a new headmaster and new DADA teacher. More will be told on the characters in her encyclopedia.

“I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.”
Who complained about it being short? Well I think that was because it was writen before the 5th book so she didn't want to tie herself to too much. The only part I thought were cheesy (like feet) were their childrens names... *sigh* when will people learn to give they're children their own name but not a weird name like... grass! *sigh* *sigh* *siiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiigh*
I would ask how someone being a nudist is icky, but then I saw your age...
And the entire thing is cheesy. And considering that the wizarding world tends to use a lot of strange names anyway (take a look at the Black family for examples of this), they're not THAT strange.

Haha, you make it sound as if she was forced to make up and end and stick to it, she herself admits she tweaked the end, she could have made the epilogue at least the same sort of lengths as her chapters. I just hope the film makes it longer using bits from the encyclopedia JKR has been talking about.
The whole thing was just too happy and insignificant after it being such a dark book in the series.
And Luna being a nudist fits her character perfectly.
yeah i wasnt too into the epilogue either, it was too cheesy and out of place in such a dark book for me. they completely tricked me on him dying though, i was so pissed off. that was good.
