Hi --

Kera Bolonik is still corresponding with me about the salon.com expose'
on the "wand order corrections."  She has some questions for the UK
members if you can help.

1.  Has there been any media attention to the correction over there?
Someone said one of the bookstores is selling the later corrected
versions for more money than the earlier printings still on hand, but I
don't recall anyone saying that there had been any sort of official
Bloomsbury announcement or other press attention.  Wasn't it just like
over here -- suddenly, we all noticed that the later printings have the
passage "corrected" so that Lily emerges before James?  Of course, if
the bookstores are selling the later ones for more money, one wonders
how they got word about the changes.

2.  Is the "correction" handled in the same manner as over here?  That
is, did they simply change the names & pronouns & not really rework the
scene itself to any great extent?

Thanks!

Penny
