Huzzah for commas! Our collective wibbling has been heard at the highest levels, and the poster no longer gives me a headache!

This is a great victory for both Harry Potter fans and grammar nuts.

Wow. I am finding myself incredibly impressed today by the power wielded by this fandom.

Would've been amusing to be a fly on the wall at that meeting.

"How's our poster release going over, Johnson?"

"Well, sir, the Internet is going crazy over it."

"Good job, everyone, good job. Let's have a coffee break."

"Um, sir?"

"Yes, Johnson?"

"It's actually not a good thing. We kind of...screwed up the punctuation. Some fans actually send pictures back to us with commas Photoshopped in."

As a former proofreader who let a few mistakes out there on the public and had to sit through many day after meetings where such things missing commas were discussed in full, I'm sure that entire department had a lovely Monday morning meeting today!

A triumph for the grammar nuts as well as the fandom. Very funny. Thanks for telling us.

Though I agree it still needs a period. :>
