I remember one person asking about the wand ordering issue without 
specifics to the two versions.  JKR said something to the effect 
of "Ahh.  You noticed that."  Unfortunately, I didn't even know about 
this edition difference until I read it here on HP4GU.  Does JKR have 
any more interviews scheduled?  Perhaps if enough people know about 
it, it will come up.

Has anyone sent notice to the news people who also reported wand 
thing just after the release of HP4?  Of course, Harry Potter isn't a 
current issue anymore, so any information sent to them would no doubt 
get ignored.

Tonight I did run by my local bookstore but couldn't find any 9th- or 
later-edition printings.  I'll check two other bookstores tomorrow.  
(I'd like to read this myself.)  Perhaps there hasn't been enough 
time for this change to permeate the HP community.  Plus, I think 
Penny mentioned this, most of the HP crowed already has the book 
which would be some of the earliest printings.
