note: I can't contain myself anymore so I'm going to start discussing The Deathly Hallows. Read on at your peril.

Perhaps it's blasphemy to even suggest it, but didn't the epilogue read to you as a perfect seven-page treatment for the pilot of Hogwarts: The Next Generation, airing at 5:30 weekdays on The N? Think of it! Short, silly half-hour stories, set among students preoccupied not by the specter of unthinkable evil but by the more daunting prospects of homework, cliques, and navigating their way through adolescence.

One of the most interesting and debatable areas of the book is the epilogue and where our heroes are as adults. We're given an unexpected result -- normalcy -- and a quick peek at the next generation of wizards. I'm willing to put Harry's adventures to rest but I could get down with checking out the new kids and a world of fantasy and magic where death isn't lurking around every corner. With a little teen angst thrown in for good measure.
