Scholastic Trade Paperback, copyright 2000 but printed in 2002. it
contains the correction in the order of the "echoes" coming out of
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> >>

<My hardback copy of GOF, a UK first edition printed in 2000, 
says '10 points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett!" on p.371. (In contrast
to the Miss Fawcett who is clearly identified as a Ravenclaw in 
the age-line scene on p.229). Definitely two Fawcett girls, maybe
three taking into account the Miss Fawcett mentioned in the
duelling scene in CS.>>

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.
 
Carol:
Thanks, everyone. Then either the American edition is the only correct
one (the chances of that are, alas, rather slim) or there are two
Fawcett girls, one in Ravenclaw and one in Hufflepuff. Neither,
apparently, is in Harry's year, or they would have been named in the
Sorting Ceremony. (Should I burn my American editions?)
