Carolyn:
Wasn't the only slip she made either. When she explained about the 
missing Weasley cousin, Mafalda, who got cut, she said that she was 
the daughter of a muggle second cousin who was a 'stockbroker.' I 
think it was 'accountant' in the book (or in my UK edition anyway). A 
very minor detail, but I was slightly surprised, as her website is 
not like the pressurised situation of an interview where mistakes are 
easy to make. Maybe its different in the US editions?
