Word came out that the latest U.S. edition of J.K. Rowling's
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them included in the Hogwarts Library book set was missing sentences from its Hippogriff summary, and now Scholastic Publishing offered a statement and retraction on said error. Fans who have this copy can request an exchange if they so choose via the information below.
Do note that this error is only found in the
Fantastic Beasts book in the Hogwarts Library set, but the
copy sold individually contains the entire excerpt as originally written by the
Harry Potter author.
In the first printing of the newly updated Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, released by Scholastic, three sentences were inadvertently omitted. We regret this error and we want to assure our readers that those editions are no longer being shipped and a corrected edition is now in print and being shipped for all current orders.
We want the Harry Potter fans who eagerly secured their copies on the initial release to be fully satisfied with their purchase. Therefore, any book with the missing sentences can be exchanged for the newer version by returning the book to Scholastic.
To exchange your copy for the corrected edition, please call customer service at 877-226-1064, Monday through Friday 7am through 6pm Central Time to receive a pre-paid mailing label to return your copy. We will send you the corrected edition upon receipt of the copy with the missing sentences.
We take pride in the integrity of the books we publish, and we have corrected this error as quickly as possible in a way that will address our readers’ concerns most effectively. We ask for our customers’ understanding and support as we remedy the situation.
