@ZanyZephyrX They put the bust in a glass case and there's now an owl door knocker on the suite I was working in, but I still got angry letters after I admitted to doing it in an interview, saying I shouldn't be encouraging children to graffiti.

It's true, I did. And they called my PA, who laughed and turned to me and said 'you won't believe this. It's someone pretending to be from the Balmoral, saying you graffitied a bust.' And I had to say, 'oh yeah, I did do that, actually.'

Today in 2007, J. K. Rowling finished writing HARRY POTTER and the Deathly Hallows at the Balmoral Hotel in Edinburgh

She celebrated by graffiti-ing a bust in her hotel room

The statement is lighthearted and humorous, discussing a past event where graffiti was done in a hotel room. It reflects on the consequences and public reaction, but does not engage in substantive public discourse.
