Not all the time.

My cats are too lazy to hunt. Admittedly, they are inside cats.

Why would it need to go hunting? The Potter's would be able to feed it.

Cats hunt if they're fed or not.

No, they don't. All of my cats hunt sometimes, except for one. I seriously think he's afraid of birds or something. <_<

Where has this topic gone? I need to vent my frustrations of how much the epiloge sucked.

(She blasted off George's ear, killed his brother and then didn't even mention him? And what about Fred? He didn't even get a kid named after him. Hugo? Give me a break.)
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

Fred is not a dead oddity. He is an amazing individual who did not deserve to die.

George did name his first child after Fred.

What is with all of you? You only care that one of the comic relief characters was killed off! (Don't take this the wrong way, I truly did like Fred.) Don't care about any of the others?
I say night I'm living in the forest of my dream,
I know the night is not as it would seem,
I must believe in something,
So I'll make myself believe it,
That this night will never go.

Note to JK: When you don't have enough kids to name all the dead people after you've killed too many.

She killed in quantity but the characters killed weren't *that* major.

Sure there were deaths, but that's kind of expected. Personally, I think the bloodbath hype is way too much. Isn't the happily-ever-after ending good enough for y'all?

Ya I agree with u. Harry deserves a happy life after all his sufferings - & what he got in the end was just a normal life like v all usually lead. What is so sugar sweet about the epilogue? JK herself has said a lightining cannot strike the same tree twice so v can't expect Harry to lead a dangerous & troubled life again. It would seem too fairytale - like to bestow another adventure on Harry & co. Harry deserves a happy, peaceful & normal life. So what is so hateful about the editorial? IF Harry & co did'nt enjoy their life,what was the use of Fred, Lupin, Tonks, Dobby etc etc to die? Their death atleast has ensured a bright life for the survivers. What v learn from the epilogue is to move on, irrespective of what took place in the past. If Harry still mourned & lead a depressed life, the deaths of his friends would have been in vain. They died to reconstruct a better world - & their last wish luckily, got fulfilled.

So please don't go on about the epilogue, it was the best ending Jo could give 2 her series. I suppose v got 2 used 2 dark & dangerous things in DH that the epilogue seemed out of place. Try reading book 1 again - it suddenly seems so childish. The same applies 2 book 6, where v see Harry worried about Quidditch & homework & stuff. Book 7 is way 2 darker!

I also suggest ( to people who r still convinced the epilogue is crap) to read the Mugglenet Editorial " All is well".
