The Secret Power of Epilogues: How One Final Chapter Could Transform Your Book Forever

Here are some famous epilogue examples from a variety of stories:

1. The Avengers (film)

During the ending credits scene of The Avengers, we see the heroes eating at a ruined schwarma shop in New York City. (In fact, any ending credit scene in a Marvel film would be an example of an epilogue, and often there are two!)

2. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

In The Deathly Hallows, the final novel in the Harry Potter series, there is an epilogue titled, “Nineteen Years Later,” which is about the children of Harry, Ginny, Ron, Hermione, and Draco as they leave platform 9 ¾ for Hogwarts.
