Hi everyone!! I just joined and also just finished PA and GoF over my Christmas break from work(my darling husband bought them for me).  I'm hooked--and got 
hooked on joining a group when people pointed out the inconsistency about who came out of the wand--and also the ancestor/descendant thing in COS. 

Is it the opinion of most people here that those were on purpose or that they were typos? 

Given that I have CoS in paperback--wouldn't that be fixed by the paperback version? Although, having worked in publishing most of my career, I know firsthand how 
some boneheaded errors get throught without anyone catching them. 

Also, what do people here think about the casting? Based on looks alone, I think Harry is good, Ron is exactly how I picture him, and Hermione is ALL WRONG.  
The little girl they cast is much too blond and much too pretty.  As a dark-haired woman who thinks there's a lot of "blondism" in society :-) I didn't like that the 
Hermione merch. I saw this Christmas and the girl in the movie are so blond. Just a dumb nitpicky thing :-)...


Also, and I am sorry if this is a really stupid question but I have been surfing for two days trying to find the answer...is there a release date (even ballpark, or rumored) 
for the next book? 


Thanks! Looking forward to getting to know you all!!
Amy
