Editing of HP Books

Hi all --

At last, one of those burning questions can be answered!

In a conversation with an editor at Scholastic today (yes, we're talking to
them about coming to Nimbus - 2003), she mentioned that there's seems to be
some confusion in the fandom about the editing process for the HP books.
Starting with GoF, Arthur Levine and his team at Scholastic have worked in
collaboration with the editing team at Bloomsbury.  So, it's no longer the
situation that Scholastic creates a completely different version of the
books, working independently from the Bloomsbury editors.  Both publishing
houses are working together, which would certainly explain my sense that
there were few (if any) differences between my US and UK versions of GoF.

Those of us on the Nimbus - 2003 planning team are certainly hopeful that
Scholastic will be able to send someone to Orlando, so that we can gain even
further insight into the overall process!
