Hi all. I know everyone is on about OotP right now, but.... 
After reading and re-reading and re-reading (lol) the 5 books, I, 
like so many others, still can't get enough Harry.  So, I got the 
books on tape(plus I got a new car and finally have a tape deck).  I 
just finished listening to GoF and heard the error about James 
coming through LV's wand before Lily. I, of course, have heard about 
this before, but was always confused.  In the copy of GoF that I 
have Lily comes through first as she should.  I was always 
thinking  'what are these people talking about?...James doesn't come 
through before Lily'.  Well, now that I heard it this way on the 
tape...I understand.  Light bulb going off...finally...I must have a 
re-written version.--Don't everyone say "Duh" at the same time now.  
Although I have heard of the mistake, I hadn't heard of it being 
corrected...otherwise, I would have figured out that I had a 
corrected copy and I would not have thought the world was going 
crazy....lol.(I didn't get GoF when it was released. I got 1-4 after 
seeing SS at the movies). Just thought I would share my story....to 
give y'all a laugh.
