Re: Harry Potter question

["GraceAnne A. DeCandido" <ladyhawk@WELL.COM>]

This is from memory, so it may not be exact. There's a line
in HP about how the ghostly figures appear in the order in
which they died, and Rowling made a glitch for herself by
having Harry's parents appear in the 'wrong' order in the first
edition of the book. That was corrected subsequently. This
info comes from a discussion on child_lit, and I believe can
be verified in its archives.
