Hi, Just wanted a clarification....

  There were several authentic leaks during the final weeks running up 
  to the release of GoF, probably arranged by Scholastic to stoke the 
  hype. One was a little girl in a Washington DC suburb found a copy of 
  GoF on the shelf at her local bookshop and bought it more than a week 
  before the widely-known release date, and a newspaper printed the 
  First Chapter allegedly shown to them by her.

  Carrie asks:

  But was this really the first chapter?? Does anyone remember?

  Back to Catlady: 

  An unknown person 
  pseudonymously joined HPfGU to post that she works at Scholastic, 
  knows about the upcoming book, and will burst if she doesn't tell 
  someone at least the hint that the title will be Harry Potter and the 
  C-- of F--, please guess what that stands for. Soon she unsubbed. I 
  believe that was a Scholastic PR person doing their PR job... 
  ********************************
  Carrie feeling silly: 

  I don't know, what does it stand for?? Is it um...not PG?  Anyway, I guess this one didn't pan out. 

  I remember only at the time there was supposed to be a "difficult death" that fans & parents were going to be upset over (per an interview I saw with her) and it turned out to be Cedric.
