Är denna JK Rowling "pocketeded" berättelse sann?

27

Det finns en Stephen Fry vs JK Rowling-historia som periodiskt minns:

Just after the first Harry Potter book had been released, [Fry] was offered the role of narrating it for audiobooks. He hadn’t read it, and was simply told it was a children’s book, so figured it would be an easy afternoon's work. When he met JK Rowling, she mentioned that she was writing a sequel. Stephen replied very condescendingly “good for you”.

A few years down the line, the books are selling well, and he is doing the recording for the Prisoner of Azkaban, when he runs into the phrase “Harry pocketed it”. Stephen could not say this line. It always came out as “Harry pocketeded it”, unless he said it ridiculously slowly. They tried time and time again to get it right, but to no avail. Eventually, he called up JK and asked if he could say “Harry put it in his pocket” instead. She thought for a moment, then said “no”, and hung up.

The phrase “Harry pocketed it” appeared in the next four books.

Om jag minns korrekt finns det en video där Fry bekräftar huvuddelen av detta. Är sista meningen sann?

UPDATE: Rowling har uppenbarligen just behandlat det här på Twitter.

Good story, but it isn't true! @stephenfry wasn't condescending, he was completely lovely, and that phrase isn't in 4 books! #factsmatter

Obs! När frågan bara frågade om noggrannheten i den slutliga delen, bör det noteras att frasen Harry pocket it inte finns någonstans i Fångaren i Azkaban , och för det ämnet är ordet pocketed .

Bonus: På OP-förfrågan lägger jag till en lista över alla platser som ordet pocketed finns i Harry Potter Canon.
