I have been working on this script today and I'm quite happy with it, so here my version of the Epilogue that will appear after the credits of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II!

The Epilogue EXT. KING’S CROSS STATION – MORNING DAYLIGHT. Moving over London. Closing in on the glass roof of King’s Cross Station. Zooming in on a family in the crowd. INT. KING’S CROSS STATION – MORNING Two black-haired boys pushing along TWO LOADED TROLLEYS. They are followed by their parents who are REVEALED to be Harry Potter and Ginny Potter. Their younger red-headed sister is CLUTCHING her father’s arm. ALBUS POTTER I won’t be in Slytherin! GINNY POTTER Oh, James. Stop teasing your brother! JAMES POTTER I only said he might be. They stop before the BARRIER between Platforms Nine and Ten. James runs towards the barrier and VANISHES when his trolley should hit the stone. HARRY I wonder if they are here already. We are quite in time. LILY POTTER I want to go to Hogwarts too! HARRY It won’t be long. LILY I want to go now! A few seconds later Albus follows his brother and also VANISHES into the barrier. When he opens his eyes he has EMERGED at Platform Nine and Three-Quarters. Through the WHITE STEAM the HOGWARTS EXPRESS is visible. ROSE WEASLEY Al! Over here! REVEALING another family standing in the steam: Rose and her younger brother accompanied by their parents Ron Weasley and Hermione Weasley. ALBUS Rose! He RUNS to his cousin and hugs her while the camera passes the unclear figures of Percy Weasley and his older daughter. Harry and Ginny join them when they APPEAR behind Albus. GINNY Hi there! Are we really that late? HERMIONE No, we were just early. Ron thought it would be wise to leave early because of his skills behind the wheel. RON You thought it would be! HERMIONE After you told me you had Confunded the drive-examiner I did. ROSE What did you do, dad? RON Oh, come on. I only forgot to look in the wing mirror, you can use a Suspensory Charm for that! Harry LAUGHS and GREETS one of his colleagues who walks by and disappears in the crowd. Then his face GROWS STIFF when his eyes catches Draco Malfoy with his wife and son. RON Oh, look who we have there! So that’s little Scorpius. You need to beat him in all of your test, Rose. Thank God you inherited your mother’s brains. GINNY Ron, for heaven’s sake! Don try to turn them against each other before they’ve even started school. When Draco caught sight of them Harry NODS as kind as he can and then TURNS AWAY. Then James SHOCKED and joins his family. JAMES Do you know who I just saw? GINNY Luna and Rolf? We haven’t seen each other for years. JAMES No. Well, I saw them but that’s not what I’m trying to say. I saw Teddy snogging Victoire! They were kissing! GINNY You interrupted them? LILY Then Teddy would be really part of the family then, right? HARRY I wish Remus and Dora could have seen him like this. Sometimes he reminds me of Remus so much. JAMES You don’t get it, do you? They were kissing! Never mind ... James WALKS away and disappears again and heads for the Hogwarts Express. HARRY You should be on the train either. It’s almost eleven and you don’t want to miss the train! RON Reminds me of our second year. Rose says goodbye to her parents. ALBUS Dad? What if I’m in Slytherin? Harry CROUCHES DOWN to the height of his son and grabs his shoulder. HARRY Albus Severus, you were named for two headmaster of Hogwarts. One of them was a Slytherin and was probably the most brave man I ever knew. ALBUS But just say ... HARRY ... then Slytherin house will have Gained an excellent student. And if it really matters to you, you can choose Gryffindor over Slytherin. The Sorting Hat takes your choice into account. ALBUS Really? HARRY It did for me. But now it’s time to go Al. Trust me that everything will be fine. Albus SMILES and after he kissed his mother he boards on the train and CLOSES the door behind him. Seconds later he and Rose show up HANGING OUT one of the windows. HERMIONE Bye! See you at Christmas! GINNY Don’t forget Hagrid’s invitation next Friday! And send Neville our love! ALBUS Mom, I can’t give a Professor love! The train slowly glides away and DISAPPEARS in its own steam. GINNY I hope he will be all right. HARRY He will be ... I know it. The camera zooms out on the crowd. EXT. KING’S CROSS STATION – MORNING The camera keeps going up until a AERIAL VIEW of King’s Cross Station with the Hogwarts Express driving through London. Leaving it’s STEAM behind. Turns to the bright sky. In the clouds the HARRY POTTER-LOGO emerges.

The logo in the clouds must be the golden logo as it appears in the first Harry Potter movies and how it should end. In the last movies it always was this dark logo in the night and hopefully it will be like that in Deathly Hallows Part I and II, but the Epilogue must end like Harry, Ron and Hermione went to Hogwarts with the same old feeling and the Chris Columbus-style.
