One thing that I must say I find disappointing in the epilogue is a trope common to YA lit. It isn't a huge knock since it is pretty much a given for the genre but I'd be happy to see it sidestepped.

That is the assumption that the romantic feelings of teenagers are permanent and significant. Of course, sometimes they are, but not often. I'd be happier to read of Harry taking the kids to the platform and he's having a conversation with Ginnie but it both turns out that they're married to other people and just remain good friends.
