Thren:

She is human, but she very deliberately said James came out of the
wand first was right- the original was right. Now, I'm not going to
fault her for a mistake, which was fixed in later editions. And I
won't fault her for setting it straight again. But I *will* be really
frelling annoyed when the corrected correction is corrected again.
Yes, it's confusing, but really. And it's not just that was was
changed back to Lily came out of the wand first again- it's that the
rest of the text still explains why it is that Lily=first out of wand
was *wrong* in the first place. Make up your damn mind!

Grumbly yours,
Thren
