Hi, guys!
We here at work got back into the Harry Potter world today with a post DH-story about J.K. Rowling. She apparently took questions during a 90-minute web chat about what she thinks happened to her characters between the end of the story and the epilogue, and here it is:
BTW, we were kind enough to put a spoiler alert in the story so I can't help but do the same thing here:
¶ Rowling said the world was a sunnier, happier place after the seventh book and the death of Voldemort.
¶ Harry Potter, who always voiced a desire to become an Auror, or someone who fights dark wizards, was named head of the Auror Department under the new wizarding government headed by his friend and ally, Kingsley Shacklebolt.
¶ His wife, Ginny Weasley, stuck with her athletic career, playing for the Holyhead Harpies, the all-female Quidditch team. Eventually, Ginny left the team to raise their three children _ James, Albus and Lily _ while writing as the senior Quidditch correspondent for the wizarding newspaper, the Daily Prophet.
¶ Harry's best friend Ron Weasley joined his brother, George, as a partner at their successful joke shop, Weasley's Wizard Wheezes. Hermione Granger, Ron's wife and the third person of the series' dark wizard fighting trio, furthered the rights of subjugated creatures, such as house elves, in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures before joining the magical law enforcement squad. The couple had two children _ Rose and Hugo.
¶ Luna Lovegood, Harry's airily distracted friend with a love for imaginary animals who joins the fight against Voldemort in the Order of the Pheonix, becomes a famous wizarding naturalist who eventually marries the grandson of Newt Scamander, author of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
¶ And what Muggle, or non-wizard, song would have been played at the funeral of Albus Dumbledore, the most brilliant and talented wizard the world had ever known?
¶ "Surely 'I Did It My Way' by Frank Sinatra," Rowling told her fans, referring to the song "My Way," written by Paul Anka but popularized by Sinatra, among other singers.
I start screenwriting classes in Sept! We'll see where this goes, huh?
On a completely different note, I managed to flood our basement this weekend by using hooking up a defective water hose to a lawn sprinkler, in the process soaking my copy of Spawn #1. Of course, I also destroyed the carpet and part of the wall, but MY SPAWN #1 is ruined!
Woe is me.
