Wand order correction...(UK)

[Flying Ford Anglia]

Penny was asking recently about the infamous 'wand order correction' 
(WOC - I think it deserves an acronym) in the UK version of "Goblet 
of Fire":

I managed to find some '£3 off' issues with the correction and, as 
far as I could tell, the rewording was exactly as we've seen 
already.  There were some purple 'special' editions on the next shelf 
with the original wording intact.

I haven't seen any coverage of this in the press.  I guess both 
publishers tried to shuffle the correction out under a cloak of 
invisibility.  Fat chance of that with people like us scrutinising 
their every move...

I'm forced to conclude that JKR approved this correction.  It seems 
to me very unlikely that Bloomsbury and Scholastic would be able to 
agree the same rewording without the author's involvement.  

I think we were right to have concerns about the effects on JKR's 
writing of GoF being rushed to meet the deadline.  I think we should 
bear that in mind if the next book takes a while longer than we'd 
like to appear.  No stamping of feet and screaming - agreed?
