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!).
