| | |  Rumor: Hint of death identity in last Potter (SPOILER)
Does the identity of the bust signed by JK Rowling give us a clue to one of the deaths in book 7? As we reported earlier, she finished the seventh book while staying at the five-star Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh. Before checking out, she marked the occasion with a tantalising inscription scribbled on the back of a Roman-style bust. Quote:
According to one report, the bust depicts Hadrian, the Roman emperor who built the eponymous wall to divide Roman Britain from the “barbarians” in the north.
The hotel says the identity of the bust incorrect, but if it is correct here are a few very interesting facts. The wall is known as Hardrain's wall. After falling into ill repair, it was later restored by Emperor Septimius Severus and passes near the Yorkshire village of Snape.
This is leading many to believe that Potion Master Severus Snape is one of the deaths in book 7. We will have to wait until July 21 to discover if this more than a rumor.

Okay, so either JKR has an evil streak to her and whats us all to lay awake at night thinking about this or its a huge clue. I'm going with the latter on this one, she strikes me as a smart woman and this is pretty clever.
I read a post a couple of months ago with a theory saying that Snape is still on the good side and was acting under Dumbledore's orders. The theory was pretty solid and i agree with it so i'm thinking that Snape will die protecting Harry. Quite an ironic end in the end after the years of bitterness...

J.k is a tough person to predict and indeed she is very clever. But its no surprise if snape is going to die.

I'm with you on this one. I didn't get any thoughts of "death" when I read it, either. Snape is one amazing charrie...  As much as I'd like to side with everyone, I don't think Snape will be killed off at all.

Leaky Cauldron *cough* claim in their latest podcast that this rumor is indeed true; JKR DID scribble on that statue.  Eep!

This is a good possibility. He can die but after discovering his true loyality.

As reported on TLC, the "statue is a bust of the Greek god Hermes". Quote:
"It was hotel property. We have many different antique artefacts within the hotel," said the spokeswoman. The bust was believed to be of the Greek god Hermes, not Emperor Hadrian as first thought."

I think this is quite a long shot. If she had requested that this bust be moved into the room it would be more believable. JKR is surely capable of being an expert in history, but the ending for this book has been planned for over ten years. If I am correct, ten years ago JKR was not in the financial status to stay at a five star hotel. If the bust was the inspiration for the series, I don't think she would leave it behind.

Wow... that's very interesting news!
It's so clever of JK to do such a thing! If this is true.
It makes really good sense to have Snape die in this book even though I don't really want him to.
We'll just have to wait and see what happens. | |
