I just checked my Scholastic edition, which I thought had been
corrected. Nope. Harry's mother appears before his father in the
Priori Incantatem scene (Am. paper back ed. 667). Does anyone know if
there are differences between the American paperback and hardback
editions? Maybe the error has been cleared up in the hardback? If not,
someone should write to Scholastic about it--and about the
murder/curse blunder, too. It never occurred to me that my own
confusion over that scene resulted from an error in "translation"!
Thanks to all involved for asking and answering that question.
