Harry Potter: Epilogue -Nineteen Years Later
For this
week we were assigned to read a book for young teens. The main
selection we were asked to look at was Harry
Potter’s Epilogue.
For those of you who have not read the Harry
Potter series or seen the movies, the bass line of the story is about a boy
named Harry Potter. He goes through many different obstacles with the help
from his friends. In the end he defeats his arch nemesis Lord Voldemort.
The epilogue, which is at
the end of the book, you get to see as a reader what happens with Harry, Ron
and Hermione nineteen
years after Harry killed Lord Voldemort. I personally like the epilogue because how the
author J. K Rolling ended the main story left you questioning what happened
next to your favorite characters and the epilogue
answered some of those questions. For an example Harry and Ginny get
married and have kids and so do Ron and Hermione. All the children end up going
to Hogwarts like their parents. The epilogue
also shows how time has changed and the reader gets to
see a little snippet of
the first generation that does not have to deal with Lord Voldemort.
I feel that the mood of the epilogue really sums up and ends
the story in a great way. One reason is because you get to see all the main
characters having kids and their children being able to go to Hogwarts. Also you
get to see that the children do not have to deal with all of the problems and
obstacles that their parents had to deal with. Lastly the reader gets to see
that all of the problems and obstacles that Harry, Ron and Hermione had to deal
with and defeating Lord Voldemort helped made their future better and brighter.
