Penny, can we add this to the things we want to ask Cheryl Klein to speak about at Nimbus - 2003 this summer?

It would be great to have a chance to get an answer on this and on the why's and wherefores of the wand order issue.

SeventhSqueal responds:

For the record I have a recent US paperback printing
of CoS and it still reads 'ancestor'. How many more
printings will it take before the error is fixed? When
the series has been published in its entirety? It
seems odd that such a successful book in multiple
printings that has been out for a few years now would
still have a very well-recognized and glaring error
that the author herself claims is a mistake.

This series is going to be a classic of children's
literature at the very least. JK Rowling and her
publishers knew that after the tremendous success of
Sorcerers Stone. One would expect that an author who
is very proud of her work, and knows that it will be
discovered by children (and grownups) for generations
would be horrified that such an unintentially
misleading typo would mar her classic beyond the hasty
first printing. This is very peculiar.
