Hi, Rita! I tried to send this message offlist, and I don't want to
post it to the main list for reasons expressed in the sig line, so
I'll post it here:

<< To provide an obvious example, eventually orrected in later
editions, Ron's red and gold Prefect badge is described as "identical"
to Percy's silver one. Obviously, the badges are *not* identical and
the description of one or the other must be changed to make it true. >>

Catlady responded:

be the real one?

Carol again:

See the Lexicon's page on changes and edits to the books. Percy's
badge in Book 1 had been changed to match Ron's in OoP:

Apparently that applies only to the British Bloomsbury edition and any
translations based on it, not to the American Scholastic edition.

Carol, answering offlist because it's a small point and I think I've
used up my quota [on the main list] for the day
