In case you thought Rowling had a firm grasp on the concept of "conclusion," here's an MSNBC interview in which she explains a little more about Harry's career, Ron's extended family and Luna and Snorkacks.
She does a great deal to allay your fears that the world after book 7 might in some way have turned out slightly less than perfect.
Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.)
“But it didn’t work very well as a piece of writing,” Rowling said. “It felt very much that I had crowbarred in every bit of information I could … In a novel you have to resist the urge to tell everything.”
Sounds like her resistance didn't hold up so well.

Aman! Joe hasn't finished yet!!
Sorry! I assumed everyone had finished. Please don't read the article if you haven't.
I guess I didn't reveal too much in the post, but there's enough there to draw some conclusions for sure.
Joe what the heck are you doing?? Get on it man!
