Jen: I'm waiting to hear more on this. It's hard to believe JKR 
would slip this provocative statement on her website after 
authorizing editorial changes to the contrary. Why not wait and just 
let us find out in the next book? Also, basically that would mean 
she lied when making the editorial changes, attempting to hide a big 
clue give-away. There's alot at stake for her to reverse her 
position again, now, so late in the game.

You have to wonder if she slipped up, thinking if James was killed 
first he would come out of the wand first. It *is* her comment on 
her website, but it wouldn't be the first time she contradicted 
something, i.e, Percy being two years younger than Bill.
