How It Ended: After Voldemort is defeated, a 19-years-later epilogue shows that Harry has had children with Ginny, and Ron with Hermione, as they accompany them to the train leaving for Hogwarts.

How It Should've Ended: Fans would've been outraged if the book's epilogue wasn't included, but it unfortunately ended up coming off more comical than poignant, due to terrible middle-age make-up, jarring clothing choices (in a misguided attempt to make them look older) and, well, Ron's pot belly.

Some things are better left in the imagination, and the shot of Harry, Hermione and Ron overlooking the landscape following Voldemort's demise would've been much tidier in retrospect.

Which movies do you most feel should've ended 5 minutes earlier? Shout them out in the comments!
