No, no! I remember that one!  I only had to search back to March to 
find it.  I'm posting the reply here which contains the original post 
and comparison of some other editions:

|                Hi everyone! I have been looking into
|                the Mysteries and
|                Inconsistencies FAQs and also in the
|                lexicon, and didn't find this
|                there (I'm not saying it's not there,
|                I just didn't see it). So, I
|                will post it, and let me know if it's
|                a new filk or it has been
|                spoted before.
|
|               In CoS (I have the British hardcover),
|                we read in page 38 that in
|                Harry's letter from Hogwarts his list
|                of books includes Lockhart's
|                "Wandering with Warewolves". But in page 78, Lockhart 
|                himself tells
|                the class that if they had read his book "Weekend 
|                with a Warewolf"
|                they would know what his ideal birthday gift is.
|
|                Is this a FLINT? Or are they different books?
|
|
|                Me:
|
|                I have the Scholastic paperback, and in both 
|                instances it's Wanderings with
|               Werewolves.

|
|                On a further note... I have the Bloomsbury/Raincoast 
|                editions and have just
|                checked the appropriate pages.
|
|                Both pages listed by Maria (#1) are a match with the 
|                British hardcover. Page
|                38 lists Wandering with Werewolves and page 78 lists 
|                Weekend With a Werewolf.
|
|                Is it possible that the 2nd book - Weekend with a 
|                Werewolf was one of
|                Lockhart's books that was not part of the mandatory 
|                reading? That might
|                explain why no one really knew the answer to that 
|                (except Hermione of course!).

GulPlum also replied, thought I don't include that post here.  So, the 
post did receive some attention!  (They should have shouted louder? As 
in posting in all caps? <eg>)

thinking that remembering this tidbit out of all the posts she's ever 
read has to rank nearly as high as true L.O.O.N.acy!
