Is it me or does it seem worthless to JKR's intentions i.e. to write a
portrayal of a morally developing, successfully journeying, ehtically
Christian Harry Potter? What's the use in the last four pages of the
book?

It adds very little historically, do we know for a fact that Ron and
Hermione got married? Or are still married?

Was it fill, fluff of futuristic fun only? :/

If JKR writes a better epilogue, one with the detail and the
comprehensiveness that this one should have imbued, then she wouldn't
have anything to yammer on about now would she?

:')

Did I set that ball high enough on the tee for you, wil?

You're right though. :-?

Wasted opportunity both symbolically and literally. Fandom would have
been in an eternal whine if she hadn't written something but Ms.
Rowling could have done so much, much more in furthering her
alchemical aims. :(

The Epilogue was written as if she couldn't wait to finish the series.
A shame imho.

Edit: I may have forgotten to mention in my overzealous haste to post
my dislike for The Epilogue's literary quality that it does close the
alchemical literary loop in the Septology. Also known as The Sacred
Marriage

Assuming you believe that HRH have married ;) which is a short leap of
faith.
