i read some story (sorry, don't have the link handy), in which rowling answered some questions and let us in on what she wanted to put in the epilogue but had to cut. basically, harry becomes an auror and ron works for the ministry, and they've kind of changed the system from the inside out, made it cool again. i think hermione ends up a lawyer (there was some foreshadowing of that earlier in the book
( ... )
neville TOTALLY should have been the one to kill bellatrix.
he's pretty much the only one whose ending i feel satisfied with.
i'm glad more people didn't die, only cause harry's reaction to the deaths was annoying me for like the last three books. "harry's brain felt like it was melting. he wanted to not think, not feel." or whatever the fuck it is, in three incredibly melodramatic sentences that are then immediately forgotten.
i thought there was no "design" to the casualties she chose. it felt like a strange combination of cadavers. i was sure hagrid and neville would buy it, and that would've made me sad.
i did like snape's ending, i have to say. well, not the way he was killed maybe, but that he was killed (which was inevitable), and his backstory. i was sure he had a thing for lily, but didn't think that that was the reason why he was loyal to harry.
I felt the same way - but I hear that JK Rowling is probably going to publish an encyclopedia of the characters and what happens to them. She didn't say definitely, but said she probably would.
but it's also a really small feature. like really. and the guy who's directing is a friend of tom's, someone we've both worked with before, who makes his living as an AD. he's gonna give tom special coaching ahead of time, i think.
this guy is also an incredible pleasure to work with, which is why i'm doing his project.
features on location can be really fun. that's what i did last summer.
you get out of the city for a month. get to know a new area.
and you know how when you're working 16-hr days 6 days a week for a month and living at home, you still have to try and live your life? like cook and clean for yourself, try and get to the bank, and still spend an hour on the subway to get yourself to set every morning at 7 am?
on location they take care of all of that for a month. so on your day off you can, say, go kayaking.
