[spoiler] As Harry Looked at Her, he lowered his hand absent-mindedly and touched the lightning scar on his forehead. 'I Know he will.
**The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well. **
Meanz… Voldy is back.. and this was not the End of it… was it… [/spoiler]
he touched it absentmindedly...meaning keh he got so used to have it prickling for those intense 7 years that he couldn't break off the habit even after 19 years.
it's like someone rubbing their forehead when thinking or somehing like that.
No, I think she just meant that the point in time she was describing was 19 years later, and it still had not hurt in those 19 years. She wasn't speaking from the Perspective of more than 19 years later.
Although, I'm sure its a loophole - a chance for more possible installments later on, if she wants to write more on the series.
Although, I don't think she'll be able to match it. What is she going to do? Write the kids' stories? It'll be lame reading about Harry Potter the brave Dad.
**Meredith Vieira: **The end of the book: I had read that the last word was supposed to be “scar.” But the last–
****J.K. Rowling: ****And it was for a long, long time. For a long time the last line was something like: “Only those who he loved could see the lightning scar.” And that was in reference to the fact that as they were on the platform, people were milling around. And that Harry was kind of flanked by, you know, his loved ones. So they were the only ones who were really near enough to see it, even though peo-- other people were looking. And it also had a kind of ambiguity. So it was-- is the scar still really there? But I changed it because I wanted a more-- when I came to write it, I wanted a very concrete statement that Harry won. And that the scar, although it’s still there, it’s now just a scar. And I wanted to say it’s over. It’s done. And maybe a tiny bit of that was to say to people, “No, Voldemort’s not rising again. We’re not going to have Part Two. Harry’s job is done.” So that’s why I changed it. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20001720/page/5/
