I LOVE THE EPILOGUE.

- Albus Severus is a great name and, let's face it, Al is probably one of 15 kids in Hogwarts named after Dumbledore.
- Also, I think he gets sorted into Slytherin. His initials are ASP for god's sake.
- The wank over how Ginny and Hermione were "nothing but housewives/moms" is still hilarious to me. Aside from Neville, no one's career is mentioned but some people assume that the women stay home with the kids and this makes JKR sexist? Oh, fandom.
- Ditto the wank over who they married. If the characters are going to marry a British wizard there's a 99.9% chance they will have gone to Hogwarts with them so I'm sure a lot of them marry their childhood sweethearts. And some don't, hence, Rolf, Audrey, and Asto/eria.
- I wish we knew how to spell Draco's wife's name. Dammit, Harry, why couldn't you keep tabs on Draco?
- Rose/Scorpius is so my headcanon.
- It's a fitting way to end the series. This wasn't about a boy's quest for gainful employment, but his search for a family. It's a bildungsroman and it makes perfect sense that we come full circle with the seven characters we started the series with either there or mentioned and Harry having a family of it's own.
- Draco's receding hairline is the greatest thing ever.
- I love the idea of Ron driving a car and maybe even having an interest in Muggle things.
- Finally, lol to the idea of the epilogue killing off creativity. I will never understand how giving more canon and more characters stifles creativity.

She mentions it in the interview, Hermione works in the Ministry.

And doesn't Ginny end up playing professional Quidditch for a bit?

Yup, and then goes on to become a Quidditch reporter. Actually, thinking about it, I think JKR implies Hermione eventually becomes Ron and Harry's boss.

HA, well said! I think she answered just enough questions in the epilogue, no more, no less.

Draco's wife Astoria Greengrass? Isn't that how you spell it?
