Mods, if you feel this belongs elsewhere, by all means, move it. I didn’t know quite where to put it - it seems awfully trivial for GQ.
So.
My SO ordered Harry Potter And The Order Of The Pheonix from Amazon. It arrived on Saturday, in Amazon’s special Harry Potter packaging. There are some markings on at least one of the pages of the book that appear to have been done by hand with a black permanent marker! It looks like it’s supposed to be the number “10,” “19” or maybe “61.” It’s soaked right through the page, so the mark is visible on the other side. The marking is right over top of the text at the start of one of the chapters. Someone had to actually open the book to scrawl this in here - it’s clearly very deliberate. It doesn’t make the book unreadable, but it’s very annoying - this is supposed to be a brand-new book, after all.
Does anyone have any idea where this mark could have come from, and what it could be for? Has anyone else seen anything similar in their copy of the new Harry Potter book? Or any other book for that matter?
