This brings geeking out to a Whole New Level.

Slow news day, apparently.  JKR graffitied a marble bust in the hotel she finished HPVII in and people are going bonkers.

From the Telegraph:

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 is incorrect, but Potter geeks are already putting two and two together to point out that Emperor Septimius Severus restored the wall, which passes close to a village in Yorkshire called Snape.

Could the message mean that Prof Severus Snape is one of the two key characters to be killed off in the final book?
