I was rereading PoA (hardcover, Bloomsbury, 20th printing) and lo and 
behold, on the first page of Chapter One Harry is reading "A History 
of Magic" by Adalbert Waffling!  I knew that wasn't correct, so I 
checked my copy of PS (also hardcover, Bloomsbury, 20th printing) and 
confirmed from the list of first-year textbooks in Chapter Five, 
"Diagon Alley", that Bathilda Bagshot had written that book, while 
Adalbert Waffling had written "Magical Theory."  I have never come 
across this Flint before.  Am I the first to do so?  It is hard to 
believe that this is true, but if so, Hooray!  I found a Flint!
