Nineteen years pass before the final scene of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
The novel’s epilogue is set on 1 September 2017, nineteen years after the Battle of Hogwarts. Harry and Ginny Weasley are sending their children to Hogwarts, while Ron and Hermione Granger are also part of the scene. Their children include James Sirius Potter, Albus Severus Potter, Lily Luna Potter, Rose Granger-Weasley, and Hugo Granger-Weasley.
The epilogue gives the book its closing phrase, “All was well,” and shows the next generation beginning its school journey. The time jump is an epilogue device, not a description of the entire period after the battle; the main action concludes before this future scene.
