As a card-carrying member of L.O.O.N. (League Of Obsessive 
Nitpickers), I feel obligated to inform you that you would NOT be 
able to buy Sherbet Lemons at Honeydukes, since Sherbet Lemons are a 
muggle sweet, as Dumbledore explains in the first chapter of PS/SS.  

Confusing, because the American editions call them lemon drops in SS, 
but call them sherbet lemons in GoF, whereas the English editions 
always call them sherbet lemons.

And, having tasted lots of yummy British sweets thanks to John W. and 
Neil, I will attest that sherbet lemons and lemon drops are really 
not the same thing.

Is this confusing or what?
