Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Another Possible Ending

I wrote before that I liked the ending when Voldemort died, and that's it... Well, I really do. The ending of the story is okay... just okay with me. I wish it was better than that. Why? It's because JKR rushed ending it, right? She added what happened to them years and years from Voldemort's death, even naming their children one by one. She could have written another book for that. She could have just ended the war, and that's it. But she included a few paragraphs about what happened to them after the war which she could have made into another book.

If I were JKR, there will be an 8th book entitled "Harry Potter: A New Beginning" where it all tells us what happens after the war, their love stories, who married who... it doesn't have to include Voldemort or a new war rising, but it could just be a book of information of everything going on from Harry's triumph over Voldemort until 20 more years of peace in the wizarding world... Or, I can write about Harry's love story with Ginny, telling the world that this Harry Potter phenomenon is not just about magic and Voldemort's power. It's also about them as humans with a heart to love and to live as normal as other people do.

I still insist that JKR could have ended it at the war. Then she can start writing short love stories for a change. She could start by telling us that Harry chooses to live as a muggle, works at a fast food restaurant for a start, has a part time job at the ministry of magic, dates Ginny on weekends, visits Godric Hallow more often, or tries to live at his parents house again... Ron and Hermione could be having small parts in the book. Then, JKR can write another book about Ron and Hermione.

Oh well, it's been done. There's nothing we can do to change it. JKR's version is original and we have to respect it. I guess she just wants to start something new. Maybe a female version of Harry Potter who finds out she's a fairy or a mermaid, instead of being a witch. LOL... Anyway, that ending at the Hogwart's Express is a good one to open up another possible book in the future. What do you think?

Did You Like The Ending of the Story?

Voldemort died in the end? YES definitely, I liked how the story ended. It only means that the war is over and there's peace again in the wizarding world.

But i found it weird that JKR was so detailed about what happened after so many years including the names of Harry's kids and even Draco's son. With all of those details, she could have written another book for that. I was expecting that Sirius could come back although it was told that nobody can come out from the vail (was it a vail? i forgot how it was called) anymore... So anyway, I also expected Dumbledore to show up somehow or at least try to communicate with Harry. The ending could have been just the funeral of those who passed away in the battle. Harry could have just visited the grave of his parents and told them the war is over. After that, Harry goes home at Grimmauld Place, then he closes the door of his godfather's house, and that's it! JKR could have written another book about him 20 or 30 years after the war.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter: A Theme Park

Last May 31st of 2007, Universal Studios and Warner Brothers announced to the public that they will be opening a Harry Potter theme park called "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter".

The theme park will feature the village of Hogsmeade, the mysterious Forbidden Forest, and even Hogwarts castle itself. We will be able to go inside Harry's school, enjoy butterbeers and the famous pumpkin juice at Three Broomsticks, we might see the Shrieking Shack, and all souvenir shops will be at Hogsmeade for sure.

JK Rowling liked the idea and said that the fans of the books and films will not be disappointed. I can't wait to go there myself but i'm sure it's gonna be expensive... Anyway, I hope the tickets to the theme park will be like tickets to Hogwarts Express... and I'm hoping that the place is closed walls so that it will give us the idea that it is unplottable too, and so that going to the theme park will really need us to take the Hogwarts express first. I wish there's this train ride somewhere, a few distance from the park itself and you can't go to the park without this ride, coz it's gonna be the only way... WOW, that will be so cool right? Then there will be like a boat ride to the castle too or this carriage that will take us closer to the castle... I wish the theme park will really be the exact Hogwarts school we know.

The Opening: Between December 15, 2009 and June 30, 2010
The Location: Universal Orlando Resort in Orlando, Florida, USA
The Website: The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

What If Harry Died in the Last Book?

For all the readers of the HP books, we know that Voldemort died in the last book. But what if it was Harry who died instead of him?

Well, if he died, it would mean that Voldemort survived, the war isn't over yet, and so it's not gonna be a good ending for the story. There are more ways how the story could have ended but i think JKR rushed wrapping it up that's why the ending turned out to be disappointing for a lot of HP fans. I myself was disappointed how it turned out but then, somehow, JKR has made other HP fans happy with it, and that's good for her... If Harry died, all of his sacrifices in the previous books will be a complete nonsense... So, it's good that JKR just decided to end Harry's miseries than prolonging the suffering of the wizarding world under Voldemort's hands.
