Then I contemplated how people who have been through horrors in their teens can imagine no better future than normalcy; that perhaps for someone who spent their entire teenage life fighting for freedom and justice and saving the world, being able to create a nice, normal home for their kids might be the absolute pinnacle of their hopes.
So then I thought, cool.
And now I think Mr. Grossman has had a failure in perspective. #harrypotter

Well not as much as this guy, who thinks it crapped the bed for the entire series, I just thought it was a bit unnecessary and felt kind of awkwardly tacked on, like, as others have mentioned, a fanfic written by someone else.
My theory was that it was Rowlings way of
1. Sabotaging any future attempts by someone else to resurrect the series or publish unwarranted sequels and add ons
and/or
2. To protect herself from the countless fans who would have inundated her until her death with letters and email and pleas as to know what she thinks happened to Harry Potter afterward.

The Prize and Harry's reward are both the same thing: a life where they can love and be loved with their families. It is Life (with the capital L), and it's not flashy or exciting but it is true. #harrypotter

Sounds like a pretty good gig to me. What's so bourgeois about living a quiet, happy life?
And really, after you defeat the enemy of humanity, what else is there to do? #harrypotter

@Faustroll: Being in love and having children is "drudgery"? What a sad life you must lead. #harrypotter
