hahaha. the title of the post makes me remember 'Barney and Friends'. whatev. well, anyway.. Harry Potter hang-over is still in me. it just won't sink in that Harry Potter series already came to an end. *sighs* here's something i found in Wikipedia. it's a short summary of JK's interviews about what happened to the crew after 19 years..
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an interview and online chat, Rowling gave additional information on the futures of the main characters that she chose not to include in the epilogue of the book. She stated that
Harry becomes an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. He keeps Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him, but can no longer speak Parseltongue after the destruction of Voldemort's soul fragment inside him.
Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, then becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.Ron works for a time with George at his store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, and later joins Harry as an Auror. Hermione finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she put on them. She initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.
Rowling also explained the fates of several secondary characters.
George Weasley runs his successful joke shop, initially helped by Ron. George names his first child Fred, after his late twin brother. (me-awwww :]) Luna Lovegood searches the world for odd and unique creatures. She eventually marries Rolf, a grandson of the famed naturalist, Newt Scamander. Her father's publication, The Quibbler, has returned to its usual condition of "advanced lunacy" and is appreciated for its unintentional humour. Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who acknowledge that his pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable.
Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns. (me-good for her!)There has been a transformation in the wider wizarding world.
Kingsley Shacklebolt becomes the Minister for Magic, with Percy Weasley working under him as a high official. As one of the reforms introduced by Shacklebolt, Azkaban no longer uses Dementors. Consequently, the world is now a "much sunnier place". Harry, Ron and Hermione also help revamp the Ministry in their respective capacities. At Hogwarts,
Slytherin House has become more diluted and is no longer the pureblood bastion it once was. Nevertheless, its dark reputation lingers. Voldemort's jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA) position was broken with his death, and there is a permanent DADA teacher. A portrait of Snape, who briefly served as Hogwarts Headmaster following Dumbledore's death, does not appear in the headmaster's office as he abandoned his post. Harry intends to lobby for the addition of Snape's portrait, and reveals to all Snape's true allegiance.(me-Snape Snape Snape! We love you Snape :'])
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------*wink. :] i will miss reading the books. :]
Anyway
, its already September and school's back to normal again. :( last week was a really fun week at school. we were too busy preparing for the
Buwan ng Wika (which by the way, we already presented Biyahe Tayo-twice and thank God we didn't screw up :D) to have proper classes. The program was really fun.
Juan de la Cruz and
Wanted: Chaperon plays were really nice and funny as well as the other presentations.
Another thing, I am sooo into CSI: NY these days. I sooo love CSI. I really have a thing for detective works and whatnots. i wish i could be as brilliant as the Crime Scene Investigators. haha. and i wish people like them existed here in Philippines so crimes would easily be solved and justice would be given to the victs and innocent people charge with something they didn't do. tsk. CSI<3
