Cheryl Klein judges Potter quiz at book festival
The Decatur Book Festival allows you to "immerse yourself in literature and poetry, meet Pulitzer Prize winners and probe the writers' mind... or you can dress silly, sing loud, laugh a lot and have the cheapest possible family outing."Scholastic's Harry Potter "continuity editor" at Scholastic, Cheryl Klein, will judge a Harry Potter quiz on August 30th as part of the festival. AJC.com spoke to Cheryl about this role, a little about what she's doing post-Harry Potter, and whether she ever encountered inconsistencies in the Potter books: "Changes like that did come up. Talking about them is a little like violating lawyer-client privilege. It’s the author’s job to talk about those."
Thanks to everyone who emailed!

Cheryl! She's always so nice. =]
I don't understand ... what?

so is she responsible for the infamous wand-order error in GoF? because that seems like it would fall under continuity...
I read the article thoroughly several times and I still don't understand.
what wand order error? I'm confused!
Huh?
Cheryl Klein, HP's continuity editor, is being a judge for a HP quiz at some Book Festival. That basically sums it up in one sentence.
WHAT WAND-ORDER ERROR???????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ????????????????????????? ???????
er.....ummm..... I think all of those words went into my brain and floated out of my nose.... xDD YAY HARRY POTTER!
i don't know who this woman is or what wand order error she made but i like her if she likes harry potter!! :]
k.............
im just as confused as everyone else
I thought that that this was through with..................... ..........
what festival is this anyway??
o.k. the wand order went like this: When Voldemort and Harry's wand duel ed in GoF, Voldy's wand had prior spells come out of the wand. Since he killed James before Lily, James shadowy form was to come out before Lily's Somehow, that was reversed, and Lily came out first. There was a bit of confusion, until it was explained that James should have come first.
It is actually the reverse. Lilly died after James...... but James came out off the wand before her...... It was supposed to be in reverse order.
sounds like it would be lots of fun, but i live too far away, of course!!!! i met Cheryl Klein at a mugglenet/the-leaky-cauld ron podcast thing; she seemed like a very nice person!!! =]
what in the hell is that article suposed to be about???....i read it through many times and i am so confused :\ WOO HARRY POTTER!! :)
Cool! This is the same Cheryl everyone was calling "Hotttt Cheryl" a few years ago, right?

Hi... i am your new friend. this is my first time that post a comment for this site. actually i am not an english man. but i can speak... i have never tried to write a comment in an english site... so i am so soooooo happy... well i think i am the biggest harry potter s fan in the world... but i know you are like me too:-) :-) your asian friend saeedeh( in persian saeedeh means lucky)
welcome, saeedeh! i dont really get this news post.
I'm totally going to try and get into this quiz. And if not be in it, definitely go just to watch.. I love being under 18 :)
What's not to get? A woman named Cheryl Klein is judging a Harry Potter quiz at the Decatur Book Festival.. And for those confused about the wand order, in the end of GOF, when Harry and Voldemort are duelling and the Priori Incantatem occured, everyone Voldemort has killed were supposed to come out in reverse order, from most recent and backwards. Lily was the last one he killed, so she should have come out first, but instead, it was James. Lily came after everyone came basically. At least, that's how I understood it.
How does one judge a quiz? Either the quiz's author is literate or they're not. I mean come on.
: ) weird.
hehee
Thank you for correcting my mistake, Mario. I realised that I had the orderbackwards shortly after I posted. I was unable to respond sooner, I have been wrapped up. i wish i was able to attend the quiz contest. It sounds like fun. Even if I couldn't enter, it would have been nice to see how many kids would participate.
From what I saw today, she seems like a nice person, and that she's pretty knowledgeable about the series as a whole. It was interesting to watch, even if the only people that they let participate were definitely younger. Oh well. Could answer most of the questions. :)
Well, thats cool... I guess.
