Hi --

Stan asked:

<<<<<<<<<<I have been sharing some of the discussions in the
group with HP fans at work, and got into a conflict
with the order of spells that emerged from Voldemort's
wand in GOF. It seems one of my friends has a copy of
GOF that has Harry's mother emerging first and his
father following her. I have seen the book, and the
page number is the same but the text replaces all
"father" and male pronouns with "mother" and female.
The roles are completely reversed, and it is not just
a one word mistake. Has anyone else seen this in their
copies? This is a US hardcover edition.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

In the above link to our Very Frequently Asked Questions document, you can view images of the original text in the UK and US versions and the altered text (yes, it was a mistake, and you can probably find links to news articles about this from Jan 2001).  There's also a link to the group's discussions on this topic as included in the Mysteries FAQ.
