Man, speaking about all that, I really do wonder what her editor thought. I noticed he had let slip some very basic errors like confounding jealousy with envy, poisonous with venomous, and things of a like ilk, so perhaps he wasn't bothered about the little details and was focused solely on the big-picture stuff?
The books were coming out pretty rapidly, at least early on. Potentially there just wasn't enough time for multiple revisions?
It's notorious that Bloomsburry was a small editor, and the only one who accepted publishing her work. I am far from an expert, but maybe they just did not have the manpower to thoroughly proofread before publishing it.
I'm sure you guys are right. Seven books (circa 3500 pages) in about ten years is a gargantuous amount of work, for both writer and editor. And with the first movie adaptation being released only shortly after the fourth book, that had to put a
lot of pressure on the whole enterprise.
Still though, mistaking 'venomous' for 'poisonous'? Tsk. Though that can be very funny: in the last book some Ministry clerks complain about their colleagues from the department of Experimental Charms, saying, "... they're so careless, remember that poisonous duck?" Certainly Rowling meant
venomous, but in the end it's funnier that way. Because really, what happened? A random duck walked into the Ministry, and a clerk went, "Well, we'd better cook that duck!"
Sucks its denuvo so you can't pirate it
Eh, the whole pirate world sits on one schizo tranny to crack these games. I can't even....
Wait, is he/she/xum still tripping on that whole 'pay me and worship me' attitude? That was some of the most bizarre, half delirium, half nervous breakdown stuff I've ever seen.
