No, actually, Amanda seems to be right...this looks like a Flint.
In my Candadian hardcover (same as UK, for all intents and
purposes) 15th Edition, p. 38 clearly states the title of the book
as Wandering with Werewolves. This title is included in the list
of spellbooks.
Indeed, on the Canadian p. 78, it IS called Weekend with a
Werewolf. It's interesting to point out, too, that this comes
directly
from Lockhart's mouth; so, he's the one who screws it up.
The US version (15th Edition, hardcover) refers to the book as
Wanderings with Werewolves in both places (p. 44 and p. 100).
We've been working on comparisons of the US/UK versions over
at Sugarquill...the kinds of changes you can find between
versions is staggering. Well done, Amanda.
