My reaction to the rumor that JKR is unhappy with two chapters was
one of alarm.  The last time she was unhappy with a chapter was
GoF, "The Dark Mark." Apparently, she wrote it again and again, and
it still wound up being especially choppy and weak, IMHO.  The last
time she had difficulty getting a book written was CoS, which is my
least favorite.  So I'm seeing some warning signs.
Does this mean OoP will have two chapters that are choppy and weak?
Maybe JKR should just release the darn thing as in, and we can get
back to her on how it could have been improved.  :-)


I dont think so. In the process of publication it is perfectly normal that
an author edits his/her work before it goes to the press. First, after the
editor has read the MS and suggest or asks for changes. Then again changes
(though minimal) can be made just before the printing.

The fact that she only wants to rewrite two more chapters gives me hope!
