Yay, Voldemort has been defeated! But as any historian can tell you, getting rid of the Big Bad is often the "easy" part. The aftermath ... That's the really hard bit.
(At the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, Alessandra turned to me and said something like this: "Now comes the really tough part. OK, Aragorn, you did all this awesome stuff to help rid of Sauron, get the girl, and claim the crown of Gondor, but now you have to do all the hard, inglorious, everyday stuff like worry about paving roads and fixing sewers in Miras Tirith.")
Check out this rather tongue-in-cheek look at Harry Potter and the Post-War Reconstruction. I'll leave you with a cool quote: "What ultimately matters is not just whether something evil was defeated, but whether something good is built in its place." True dat.
