shocking news

I am in shock!

So.... I've been trying very hard to read Harry Potter 5 before the movie comes out... I get up to chapter 27.... turn the page... and find out that I'm rereading something from chapter 11! So... I wonder if this is some sorta weird trick JKR has done to give the illusion of real 'magic' but it's a printing error!!! Pages 529-576 has been replaced by a repeat of pages 193-240. HOW BAD IS THAT!!! You'd think there would be some sort of quality control or something. So yes... I've got a bad feeling I wont be able to exchange the book because I bought it in Feburary... but I'll give it a go. In the meantime... I can't read on... and it was getting mildly exciting. Has this ever happened to someone before?

p.s: if someone wants to lend me a book so I can read pp529-576 that would be cool

i got a lovely leather-bound anglican prayer book when i got confirmed way back in the early 90's.
this year i noticed it repeats a chunk of psalms where the lectionary should be. shows how much i used it...

and yeah, a similar size to what you're missing from harry pothead.

so i would sympathise, except for the reading material. sorry.

I can set myself a reminder to grab it for Saturday when I see you at Alistairs???

But that is very sucky quality control. Poor caro.

My first Bible from my home church was missing the majority of Exodus!! I kept flipping and flipping and couldn't flip to it....because most of it was missing! It was a cheapo paperback Bible...
