No, my UK paperback has the revised version in it - the original
"version" is commonly acknowledged here and in the wider world to be a
flint (a term coined, IIRC, by pippin who noticed that JKR kept Marcus

You can read more about the Wand Order Discussion here on HPfGU when it
was actually "going on" at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups-Archives/message/3754 and
subsequent messages (there is NO traffic on that group, so no worries
about joining it to read the posts), as well as here:
http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/faq/mysteries.html - #6 under Plot Mysteries. 

Scans of the pages from a first printing of GoF and from a later
printing are available
