I *do* remember seeing it, and I remember seeing
it on-line.  Perhaps there's a story linked from
www.the-leaky-cauldron.org (wonderful weblog on
which I found this e-group) or from
www.harrypotter.ns.

The only other place I've indulged my HP-mania is
the "Vanity Fair" feature. It's on my desk and
I'll find some time (wink!) to look at it this
morning.

On the same track,

Does anyone else remember hearing that Mr.
Spielberg had it in mind to re-make the plot of
the story with an American high school basketball
team as the protagonists?? For some reason, that
item is in the windmills of my mind, but I
haven't come across it since.
