Just finished Deathly Hallows last night. I enjoyed the book, but was disappointed by the loose ends left hanging. Now I know why -- J.K. Rowling admits that she left out a lot of details about the years between the climax and the epilogue that seem to cry out for answers.

She has now revealed some of them.

We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child.

As for his occupation, Harry, along with Ron, is working at the Auror Department at the Ministry of Magic. After all these years, Harry is now the department head.

“Harry and Ron utterly revolutionized the Auror Department,” Rowling said. “They are now the experts. It doesn’t matter how old they are or what else they’ve done.”

Meanwhile, Hermione, Ron’s wife, is “pretty high up” in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, despite laughing at the idea of becoming a lawyer in “Deathly Hallows.”

“I would imagine that her brainpower and her knowledge of how the Dark Arts operate would really give her a sound grounding,” Rowling said.

Harry, Ron and Hermione don’t join the same Ministry of Magic they had been at odds with for years; they revolutionize it and the ministry evolves into a “really good place to be.”

“They made a new world,” Rowling said.

But not to worry -- it is very likely that there will be a Harry Potter encyclopedia, containing all that information and the back-stories about many of the characters and events. After all, Rowling has pages of material that she editted out that fans are dying for.
