  Voldemort's wand in the "Priori Incantatem" chapter, which to me
  suggests that it may contain other corrections as well. (My
  apologies for forgetting to put "Am. ed." but maybe it's a 
  felicitous blunder in this case.) What's the year on yours? 
  (Anybody with a corrected UK edition ca. 2002?)
  
  BTW, I think the error is in the Canadian edition <snip> >>

  the age-line scene on p.229). Definitely two Fawcett girls, maybe
  three taking into account the Miss Fawcett mentioned in the

I (PGR) write:
I have two copies of GoF, they are both UK editions. The first is the
12th typesetting and has the "Priori Incantatem" mistake.  The second
is the 21st typesetting and has the amended "Priori Incantatem".

Both typesettings agree with Carolyn's first edition: Fawcett in
Hufflepuff & Stebbins in Ravenclaw.
