This is something I thought about a lot when I was reading. I look at all the characters at the end of their stories and think, "Wow. Think of where they were at the beginning of their story. And now they're totally different." Well I wanted to do this with all three of the fandoms, but that would be a super long post, so I am doing a THREE PART POST. (I know, I just blew your mind right there.) (Spoilers for Harry Potter.)
Well let's start with Harry. At the literal beginning of the story he is a tiny child that is a few months over one year old. He probably doesn't realize that his parents are dead, and he was living in a totally magical universe. He had two great parents, a cat and a toy broomstick, not to mention an amazing godfather, but now that universe has just been taken from him. He doesn't know that his entire world has just changed. So in a word, not that he is at fault here but in a word he is completely clueless. Then at the end of the story he is happy despite the fact that he no longer has parents, a cat (or maybe he does), a toy broomstick (but he does have a real one), or a godfather. But he does have a wife, three children, friends, probably a great job and a great home and his scar never hurts him anymore. He's even got a godson himself. He went through a lot of pain in the middle, but that's in general a pretty happy ending.
Our friend Ron, when we meet him he's an eleven-year old kid who doesn't want to be overshadowed by his brothers and wants to go to Hogwarts and make his mark there, no one considering he is just another Weasley but that he's him, Ron Weasley. At the end he's pretty much as happy as Harry. He has a wife and two kids and he has his friends and he probably has a great job too. And he even made it on a chocolate frog card, so I guess Ron's wish did come true, people did know him, and not just by his family.
Hermione, when we met her she was a loner and a nerd. You all knew she was a nerd, but face it, she was a loner. No one really liked her or paid her a horrendous amount of attention until she became friends with Harry and Ron. She wanted to fit in to a magical universe that she had just put into. It was all really exciting to her, but since she was so enthusiastic and she didn't have the advantage of being famous like Harry did that everyone thought she was kind of weird. She has a family of her own now, and Hermione's so smart, I wonder what kind of job she got. She could pretty much do anything she wants, but she said she didn't want to work at the Ministry of Magic because she wanted to do something good in the world c: Hermione, this is why we love you.
Ginny was a silly little ten-year-old girl when we first meet her, who really, really wanted to meet Harry Potter. Classic, a ten-year-old girl who hears that a celebrity is around and has to go meet them. But obviously growing up in a war changes a lot because by the end Ginny is rather... I need a good word. Fierce? Strong? Strong is a good word. That is correct. But she really was strong. She's probably a great mother, especially since she had a great mom to teach her how it's done. Honestly, though, are you guys wondering what Ginny did as far as careers go? Isn't there a rumor that she played for the Holyhead Harpies? That would be pretty cool.
Neville. When we meet Neville he's a forgetful kid who couldn't do magic for his life in a completely pureblood family and has an extreme lack of confidence. By the end, wow, has Neville gone through a lot of change. He's great at magic and is just about as brave as people get. He teaches at Hogwarts and is still, at least this is what I got out of it, in contact with his bros, Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. And, as says the Harry Potter Facts, is married to Hannah Abbot. I know you Nuna shippers (me and my sister call it Lunville) are having a fit about that, and honestly, of all the ships that didn't actually work out, that one I actually agree with. Luna and Neville were a match made in heaven. Why are they not together, J.K. Rowling? Why?
Which brings us to cute Luna! When we meet Luna she's considered the weird kid to pretty much everyone at Hogwarts, even Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville. Luna doesn't care, though, and she's friendly with them. At the end Luna has plenty of friends when she didn't really have many at first. She is happily married (NOT to Neville) and has a son, I believe. Do you think that Luna could possibly work for The Quibbler? Because that's all I have about her life.
Isn't it crazy where our characters started? And they all got their happily ever after. Yayy!
