No JK said that Neville married Hannah Abbot and Luna married someone we never even "met". So yeah, it was totally a movie thing. And not reading the epilogue is good for your health.
Oh, I know Neville/Luna didn't get together :) I just meant that that's not explained in the epilogue, is it? JK Rowling came along and explained it all afterwards, didn't she? But you find out Neville's a professor, but nothing else in the actual text, right? (Or am I wrong and Neville/Hannah Abbot is explicit in the text?). Anyway, the movie is separate!
Yes, the movies really did become their own thing towards the end, so I was faced with the strange situation that as my enthusiasm for the series waned with later books... it ramped up with the release of the latter movies. Go figure.
Yeah, I never quite felt the same about the books after Sirius died. Even though I still really enjoyed the later books.
