[HPFGU-OTChatter] Re: eye colour and other queries

Carol responds:
I thought sure that someone would provide the exact
quotation by now, but apparently not. Here goes:
"The man who followed could only be Draco's father.
He had the same pale, pointed face and identical
cold, gray eyes" CoS Am. ed. 50).

Sharon:
Brilliant!  Thanks for that.

Carol:
In case you have the Bloomsbury edition, it's in
chapter 4, "At Flourish and Blotts," a few pages
into the chapter. (Harry is hiding in the cabinet in
Borgin and Burkes). BTW, the Bloomsbury edition
probably spells the eye color as "grey," but in the
American edition, it's "gray."

Sharon:
yes I have the Bloomsbury edition, and it is spelled
"grey".  I have never seen it spelled "gray" so
obviously that's American spelling. Here in
Australia we tend to follow UK spelling for the most
part. "Gray" just looks like it's spelled wrong,
like a lot of my students who tend to spell words
phonetically. LOL.

Thanks for your help,
Sharon
