| | |  Cheryl Klein talks Harry Potter
Cheryl Klein, continuity editor for Harry Potter at Scholastic, recently gave an interview to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ahead of her overseeing a local quiz. She talks about her job and what it entailed. Quote: Q: What does a continuity editor do?
A: Continuity editor is a title we made up to describe what I was doing on the Harry Potter books, which was keeping track of all the facts. There’s copy editing facts, like Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans. Every time that it appears, does Every Flavor have a hyphen in it? Do we take out the “u” from “flavour” for the Americanized spelling? And I also help the primary editor keep track of where all the characters are, where all the magical implements are, ‘cause the plotting is so intricate.
Quote: Q: If this is your first time as a judge, how are you preparing?
A: I hope to have all seven books with me. Oftentimes my job with Harry is not so much knowing all the facts myself, but like a good librarian, knowing where the facts are located. If somebody says when was the Wizarding Statute of Secrecy put in, my job is knowing where we can find that information verified in the books.

I would certainly like to have a job like that. Unfortunately for a lot of movies I've seen, their continuity editors seem to have fallen asleep while on the job.
