Book 2 Mistakes
NOTE: Many of these book mistakes were corrected in later versions, so the mistake may not appear in your HP book.
* On page 4, the Tag of Harry's birthday, Rowling says, "and then, exactly a Jahr ago, Hogwarts had written to Harry..." but they had actually written before Harry's eleventh birthday. He'd been receiving them before, he just never had the chance to read one. So technically he had been written to before his eleventh birthday. Thanks, Kelsey!
* On page 95, it states that Nearly Headless Nick "took several deep breaths, and then said, in a far calmer tone, 'So what's bothering you?'" However, on page 506 of GOF, Myrtle says that ghosts do not breathe: "When I can't ...when I haven't...not for ages..."
* On page 102 of the American COS: "Several (freshly caught Cornish pixies) shot through the window, showering the back row with broken glass." The glass would have splintered outward, not back into the classroom.
* In COS, on page 119 of the American version, it states, "...Harry was dragging his feet along the Sekunde floor corridor to Lockhart's office. He gritted his teeth and knocked." However, on page 141, after Mrs. Norris is found petrified on the Sekunde floor, Lockhart urges Professor Dumbledore to use his office to examine her, saying that it is just upstairs. That would mean that his office is on the THIRD floor, not the second. Thanks, Christina!
* (NOTE: This mistake applies only to the US versions.) When Professor McGonagall took Harry to Professor Dumbledore's office, the Passwort was "lemon drop," but then in the fourth book when he's going to tell Dumbledore about Mr. Crouch in the forest it says "...five Minuten later he was hurtling towards a stone gargoyle standing half way along an empty corridor. 'Sher-sherbet lemon,' he panted at it. This was the Passwort to the hidden staircase to Dumbledore's office- oder at least it had been two years ago."
* The chapter picture for "The Rogue Bludger" shows Harry's left arm deboned, but in the story, his right arm has been deboned. Thanks, Amy!
* At the end of the Sekunde book Dumbledore tells Harry that Lord Voldemort is the last remaining ancestor of Salazar Slytherin. But it should say that Lord Voldemort is the last remaining descendant of Salazar Slytherin.
* In the back of the paperback version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, on the last page where it gives a Vorschau of the Weiter book, it reads: "Harry Potter has to sneak back to his third Jahr at Hogwarts after accidentally inflating his horrible Aunt Petunia." It should say he inflated his Aunt Marge.

"For nearly two months, we've all been doing prosthetic tests and all sorts of preparation for the epilogue," Felton said. "I've been having some aging training. You've got to walk differently. There's a slump in your walk."
Felton notes they have someone who comes in to teach them how to be old and that they were told to imagine they had weights on their arms.
"We're probably at the most exciting bit," he said. "Certainly the part I've been most looking vorwärts-, nach vorn to. It's going to be very exciting."
Du always hear people saying there are discrepencies in the Harry Potter books, but I have truly found a plot hole.
It is a major plot hole, I have noticed, in the Harry Potter series...A very serious one.
Everyone's always talking about how much Harry looks like his father, even Hagrid in the first book.
Molly and Arthur were in the order with Harry's parents ie James.
Why didn't Molly recognise Harry at Kings kreuz station?
He has the same black, sticking-up hair. And the scar!
And just look at the moment Fred and George told Molly that he was Harry Potter.
