Neil, what was the edition number? And on which page is this? I have so many cards to write/presents to wrap, I just can't manage to look through my book...Why can I sit by the computer? I have this Yule work to do!

  Ämne: [HPforGrownups] Wand order correction...(UK)


  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? 

  Neil
