Wand Order Story for Salon.com

[Brian Dorband]

No: HPFGUIDX 6712

Greetings all,

I am posting this in order to give all a chance to sound off regarding 
the wand order issue.  I spoke with this reporter, Kera, this morning 
and invited her to come see us here at the group.  (She's probably 
trying to set herself up right now so she can read some of the 
messages).  Anyway, some brief background:  I went to the Salon.com 
site last week to see if anything else on the wand order thing had 
been written, since they had a story on it back in August (?).  I 
wrote a letter-to-the-editor (since when do they read and follow-up on 
those things?), and lo' and behold she contacted me.  I advised her 
that this group was the best source of HP info.  She should be here 
anytime.

I spoke with Kera this morning and I get the impression that they 
(Salon.com) *really* want to get the scoop on this issue.  The email 
that she sent me appears below:



I am a reporter for Salon magazine online, and am doing a piece on the 
   correction that was made in the 9th printing of Harry Potter and 
the Goblet of Fire. 

   I realize you're probably snowbound, but would it be possible to 
chat tomorrow (Tuesday) morning about Rowling's error, the subsequent 
correction, and the lack of press coverage on it thus far?  I can be 
reached via this email address, or 718 622 5426.

   I look forward to hearing from you.

   Best,
   Kera Bolonik
