Series Completion

In December 2005, Rowling stated on her web site, "2006 will be the year when I write the final book in the Harry Potter series." Since then she has been regularly updating readers through her online regarding the progress of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with the release date of 21 July 2007.

The book itself was finished on 11 January 2007 in the Balmoral Hotel, Edinburgh, where she scrawled a message on the back of a bust of Hermes. It read: "JK Rowling finished writing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in this room (652) on 11 January 2007."
Rowling herself has stated that the last chapter of the seventh book (in fact, the epilogue) was completed "in something like 1990".
