JKR finished 'Deathly Hallows' three weeks ago

According to The Sun, JK Rowling wrote the following message on a marble bust at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh: "JK Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in this room (652) on 11th Jan 2007." A picture of this message can be seen here.

UPDATE: The BBC reports: "We can confirm JK Rowling did write some of the book at the Balmoral last month and did complete the book at that hotel."

Helpline for readers of Book 7

Waterstone's has announced plans to set up a special helpline for fans after Deathly Hallows comes out this summer. JKR revealed in June that two more characters would die (who she hadn't intended on dying), and the UK book chain says "this could be a similar moment to when Take That split up - there could be a lot of upset teenagers out there. We are looking to set up a helpline for them."

On semi-related notes: The article mentions that Jo delivered the manuscript "recently" to Bloomsbury. Also, JKR is currently "busy editing," according to CBBC.

Dan on performing in Equus

Photos promoting the upcoming production of Equus in London's West End were recently released. They showed a distinctly different side of Daniel Radcliffe (who plays the lead role), and were received with surprise by some. However, Dan says he's fine about playing the part naked.

"Equus is an iconic play. The nude scene is part of it. I can't do it with my pants on. That would be rubbish.

"We've done the scene a couple of times in rehearsal. I had no particular qualms. There's nothing that would stop me getting my kit off if that's what the work demands. The key to serious acting is to lose your inhibitions, to become free and fearless."

More on Jo's hotel message

New details have emerged surrounding the message Jo scrawled on a marble bust (stating that she had finished Deathly Hallows) in Edinburgh's Balmoral hotel. The hotel said that it has no immediate plans to turn the room into a "tourist shrine," and rather interestingly, the bust is believed to be of the Greek god Hermes.

Also, this hotel is located on Princes Street. A Snape reference - did Jo do this deliberately? Thanks to Hunter for pointing this out.
