Episode 150: Epilogue? What Epilogue?
🕑 Added 2021-03-05 15:00:05 +0000 UTCDeathly Hallows epilogue. We did it! We've crossed the finish line. While we still have the movie and more to cover, we're officially finished with the 7 books proper. Does the epilogue provide any emotional closure or worthwhile information to round out the rushed final chapter before it, or does it earn its fairly scornful reputation even among die-hard Harry Potter fans? Well, I'll give you a hint: immediately after the book came out JK Rowling started passing new and extra information out like candy in some interviews we read to supplement it. Finally, we do what all great podcasts must do: we rank stuff!

yeah i guess in a weird way you almost have to respect it because it's an end of evangelion style "i'm burning this thing down with me" but also it's boring and doesn't have any giant ghosts or robot fights
After getting here, I'm convinced this epilogue is not JK fucking with the fandom, but putting a boot down on WB doing other Harry Potter things without her approval. This entire book has felt like JK pushing a metal poker into her work while looking at us, unblinking, to show dominance. It's so fucking weird.
Here’s to reading other books!!!!!!!!! ✨
