American cover
Are we allowed, or can we put a picture of the American cover in this article?-Mbatman72 20:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
 * As the books author is from U.K its more appropriate to use the U.K cover Ro bin  06:04, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

Title Hoax Section
I propose that we add a section on all of the title hoaxes that sprouted shortly before the release of the book's real, or, at least, create a seperate article that will be linked to this one.--Dark Green 23:47, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Ambiguity: closing the school
Toward the end the plot summary says the teachers vote to "close the school", which sounds permanent. Actually they debated closing the school permanently, but ended up only terminating the current school year early. The next novel shows the school still open the next year, though with numerous changes. CharlesTheBold (talk) 04:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
