Yeah I totally understand. It fits well with the tone of the whole
story, especially the end of Reparations. But I think we all have
that hope for a magical happy ending to everything. Or at least I do.

: )

Do you have anything new planned for anytime soon?

I kept thinking "This is a miserable way for it to finish!" But I
tried a couple of scenarios that were more upbeat and they just
didn't work. It wanted to be more sombre. And in some ways I
personally think that's appropriate, because it's the end of a battle
but not the end of the war - does that make sense? Voldemort is
dead, but everything hasn't been miraculously put right. The things
in wizard society that allowed a monster like Voldemort to happen in
the first place haven't been changed - yet - and so it's still not a
perfect world.

would add now that Harry's ongoing illness and slow recovery are
almost a metaphor for what's happening in the wizard world. It's not
right yet, but things are changing and starting to heal. It's going
to take time. Just like Harry's health.
