Rowling Sweats Edits to Ink Black Heart

Have just received an email with copy edit queries on the most complicated plot I've ever written and am now experiencing the exact opposite of a child's excitement on Christmas morning.

I’m counting this careful editing of Ink Black Heart as some acknowledgment of the work done here and at StrikeFans to demonstrate that the series needs a better continuity editor, fact checker, and gaffe hunter.

Here are seven HogwartsProfessor posts about mistakes in the series that distract readers and diminish their experience of Rowling’s transformative psychological allegories of the soul’s journey to perfection in the spirit.

Enjoy! Let’s hope that Rowling, Inc.’s new dedicated team of Flint Finders gaffe-roof Ink Black Heart.
