Law and Order: MLE

In the aftermath of fan disappointment in the epilogue of Book 7, JK Rowling revealed in an interview with the Today Show that Harry and Ron went on to become Aurors, while Hermione is currently "pretty high up" in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement. Essentially, Hermione is the equivalent of a wizarding prosecutor while Ron and Harry are detectives, which is why JK Rowling must, must allow the production of:

Law and Order: Magical Law Enforcement

. . . In the criminal justice system, Dark Arts-based offenses are considered especially heinous, in Great Britain, the dedicated Aurors who investigate these vicious felonies are members of an elite squad known as the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, these are their stories . . .

In the first half hour, Harry and Ron would investigate the magical crime in question.


Adult, wisecracking Ron will be played by Damian Lewis.












The older, more grizzled, but increasingly sexually-confused Harry will be played by, well . . . Daniel Radcliffe.









In the second half-hour, Hermione will prosecute the crime with her fellow assistant DA, Nigel Nibblebottom, played the inimitable Stephen Fry.
Emma Watson and Stephen Fry together could produce that fantastic Jack McCoy plus incongruously good-looking female DA chemistry that is key to making Law and Order work.




Now, if this is not a good idea, I don't know what is.

The Dectective Lieutenant could be played by S. Epatha Magicson (the S. differentiates her from all the other Epatha Magicsons)

I even found myself taking it seriously! (With the writers' strike....made by Britain....imported to America...)
