a post script to harry & his friends

are you wondering about what happened to harry and his pals after his epic showdown with voldemort in book 7? (*SPOILER*) well, wonder no more. according to JK Rowling, harry goes on to become the head of the Auror Deparment for the Ministry of Magic, whose leadership falls on the capable hands of Kingsley Shacklebolt. for more information, read this LINK

for an interesting sidelight on all the "deaths" that occurred in  book 7, ms. rowling explains (see this  LINK) why she had to kill off some characters as a sort of painful exchange so that other characters could be spared, notably Mr. Weasley, whom she defined as the "real" exemplary father figure in the series.
