J.K.R. signs off: UPDATED with images
 
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):

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

D.A Forever 02-02-2007 07:40 PM

Thats so cool :lol:
I dont want the series to end though!
But i still Cant wait fot that book! ^_^

Ozzy 02-02-2007 07:42 PM

Cool beans! I wonder if any pictures of that statue are going to surface on the net... XD

Mistress Vondella 02-02-2007 07:42 PM

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. :yes:

I play the Devil's Advocate a lot. It's why everyone loves me *innocent look*

miss weasley 02-02-2007 07:42 PM

Thats it....don't touch the room at all,it is a historical landmark and must not be touched.

starlightangel 02-02-2007 07:44 PM

He he! She's done a Dan Brown. (Well, sort of.)

OdiSSe 02-02-2007 07:46 PM

I felt suddenly depressed.:bugeyes:

Padie 02-02-2007 07:46 PM

I want to go to that room :lol:

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*

There is a picture of it in the newspaper over here in the UK. I'll have a look for a picture on the website of the paper!

Harry4emma 02-02-2007 07:47 PM

I wonder that as well Ozzy but it a shame such a awsome writer has to end it on the last book

Aya_Yuy 02-02-2007 07:48 PM

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

~*MischaBloom*~ 02-02-2007 07:49 PM

J.K.R. is just brilliant! I think that was awesome what she did!

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.

I agree somewhat, but I'm still on both sides of the fence... I don't want it to end on one side, and then I do on the other. It's maddening haha.
