Harry Potter: The final chapter - Harry Potter - MSNBC.com and revealed a great deal about how she imagines Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows ending. She is straightforward about certain bits we've all been wondering about. For example:

It doesn't matter how old they are or what else they've done. So Harry and Ron lead the way in recreating the new Auror Department. And by the time-- 19 years later -- I would imagine that Harry is heading up that department, which is not corrupt in any way. It's-- it's a really good place to be.
