[HPforGrownups] Edition Differences (WAS: Re: Ottery St-Catchpole and Wizard War II)

[danielle dassero]

No: HPFGUIDX 94905

I have 2 Am Ed copies, 1 hardback, 1 paperback, the hb
is a 1st edition and has the priori incantatem mistake
and FAwcett in Ravenclaw and Stebins in Hufflepuff.
The PB fixed teh mistake and still has FAwcett in
RAvenclaw and Stebins in Hufflepuff. Plus I
doublechecked the chapter where Fawcett gets sent too
the infirmary cause of her beard  and both copies say
ravenclaw.
