Deathly Hallows - Alternate Ending

Was visiting my friends recently in Newcastle and we got talking about how poor the ending to the Harry Potter series was (as well as including an interesting rant as to how Ginny Weasley turned into a two dimensional slut). I thought I'd try to come up with something better. Don't read if you're one of the five people in the world not to have read the last HP book


Harry and Voldemort circled each other, surrounded by both sets of their supporters, in the great hall of Hogwarts. The silence was almost unbearable, yet nobody dared speak. Everyone’s attention was firmly fixed on the two figures, about to commence the final duel that would determine the future of all wizards, indeed the entire world.
     “You honestly believe that you can defeat me Harry?” spat Voldemort, his snakelike eyes filled with malice.
     “Yes, I do” Harry retorted, calm and collected with little emotion in his voice. “This is where it all ends Voldemort. I am going to defeat you, here in front of the entire school, and you will never hurt anyone ever again.”
    “Oh please!” Voldemort sneered. “You honestly expect that your plan can work? Those ‘who is the rightful owner of the Deathly Hallows’ and ‘who is the true master of the Elder Wand’ plot points are overly confusing and needlessly complicated.”
    “I agree” Harry replied.
     “Well how do you intend to defeat me then Potter?” Voldemort hissed.
     “In a much more simple and satisfying manner” Harry told him.
     Voldemort laughed and licked his lips. “And what would that be then?” he asked mockingly.
    This time Harry said nothing. Instead he pulled out a pistol from under his robes and shot Voldemort five times in the chest.
    As the body of his nemesis crumpled to the floor in a heap, Harry turned to look at the stunned spectators. “Seriously, why the hell am I, like, the first person to think of that?” he asked them incredulously
