Although J.K. Rowling announced the release date for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows just yesterday, she finished writing the book exactly three weeks prior. While staying at the Balmoral Hotel in Scotland, she wrote the following on the back of a marble statue in her room (No. 652): Quote:
J.K. Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in this room on 11th Jan 2007

Here are images of the very special message (courtesy of The Sun and BBC News):

Hmmm, interesting! The room should be a historical landmark now! First to post!

I'm of two minds on this.
1) it's cool that she did it, and now the owners of the hotel can advertise that and charge even more for the room//floor//hotel stay. So, YAY JK for helping people make money...off you.....for free.
2) Had it been anyone else, it would have been vandalism, and we would have had to pay a lot for the cleaning. The Hotel Is Biased if they don't make her pay for it.
I play the Devil's Advocate a lot. It's why everyone loves me *innocent look*

I want to go to that room
It's sad to know that after this one book we'll never read of Harry again.. At least not in the same way *cries*
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I can't believe the last book has been written, but I can't wait to read it.

I just realized something, the end of something that we have adored since it first came out and what we will adore probably forever, ended in that very room. I sort of feel like crying.
