Hi --

I seem to recall that someone (Sister Mary Lunatic??) had posted an
email address for Jim Dale at one time.  I can't find it searching the
message archives.  I still wanted to give him my opinion about
Hermione's voice.  And, Heidi has had the brilliant idea of asking him
if he plans to re-record the "revised" pages in GoF with the priori
incantatum scene.

I'm really astounded that the 16th printing that someone found has
reverted back to the original language.  And, didn't someone say that
some 9th printings have been changed & others haven't?  I wonder if you
stacked up one copy of each printing, could you tell where the change
was made and if/when they reverted back to the original text?  If there
are different versions of the 9th printing floating around, I suppose
not.

As for the descendent/ancestor debate, it's interesting that Monika has
a UK version that's been changed, but other UK members have later
printings that have not been changed.  Is Monika the only person so far
with a changed UK version?  Is she the only one with the Stephen Fry
tapes?  It's still puzzling to me that in the US versions, it was
changed from ancestor to descendant in some of the later hardback
printings but then it reverts back to ancestor in the newly-released
paperback versions.

Should we ask CNN since they did the original article about the wand
order issue sometime back in July?  Or maybe it's something Salon.com
might investigate.  :--)

Starting to sound like the publishing industry has taken a leaf out of
the Florida electoral process book (or vice versa) --
