I've tried looking up any discussion in the archives but I've never been very 
successful accessing the archives....

Regarding the Weasley's clock.  It was brought to my attention by the kid in my 
house that the description of the Weasley's clock in the COS  (American 
paperback pg. 34) does not match the one in GOF (American first edition 
page 151).  The former describes just a  clock on the wall with one arm and 
written around it is stuff like "time to make tea" and "time to feed the chickens" 
but in the latter it is described as a grandfather clock in the corner with 9 arms, 
each with a family member's name, and pointing to where the person may be.  
It is interesting that it is this latter clock face that is used in the COS movie.  
Apparently the first version of the clock just evaporated.   It was never referred 
to again. Was this a JK inconsistency or a different clock?  Was there any 
previous discussion on this?
