| Do you know of any bloopers from the Harry Potter books? Well if you do, just send them right in! They can be small typos to bigger mistakes. Please send the page number that shows where you found the blooper. In the second chapter of book 1, the snake "winked" and later jumped when Dudley yelled. I have had snakes in my class for years and they cannot wink because they have no eyelids. Also, while snakes can detect vibrations, they really don't "hear." ~Mrs. C 1. In book 4, pg. 667 (hardcover, USA) James Potter comes out of Voldemort's wand, and says to Harry, "Your mother's coming..." but spells were coming out of Voldemort's wand backwards, and so Lilly should have come before James! 2. In the movie, during the chess scene, Ron tells Hermione to be the queen-side castle. Well, Hermione was on the right of the board and they were black, so she was the king-side castle. ~Emily I noticed that in the movie in the seen before the gang first sees fluffy a brick on the lower left of the screen moves! Also when Harry takes Hedwig out to the courtyard she has a strap tied to her leg. Bird trainers use the straps to control the bird once it lands on their arm. But when they start to animate the bird because they couldn't train the bird to soar around the courtyard. Well once they animated the bird the strap was missing! ~boops Book 2, page 133: "Can you taste it if you walk tough it?" Harry asked him. It should be "Can you taste it if you walk THROUGH..." not though. Common mistake... Book 4, page 394: I don't know if this is a mistake, but Fred (or was it George?) says "Oi! Angelina!" I was just thinking doesn't J.K. Rowling usually spell Oi, O-Y (oy) or is Oi another of her cooky words? Hmm... Book 1, page 16: Hagrid says "I'll be taking Sirius his bike back." BUT in book 3 Hagrid says he kept the bike ::raises an eyebrow:: Fishy... Book 4, Chapter 2: It says in the letter Harry writes to Sirius that "Dudley chuckeed his Playstation out the window so now he doesn't even have Mega Mutilation Part 3 to take his mind off of things..." BUT in Book 2 Nick de Mimsy (that's what I call him instead of Nearly Headless Nick) celebrates his 500th deathday part. On the cake it says "Died 1492" so 1492 + 500 = 1992 MEANING Book 4 took place in 1994. BUT the Playstation was not out in 1994. ~Kate I know of one typo in a Harry Potter book. I was re-reading a scene in the 3rd book when I came across a certain sentence. It was in a scene where Harry is in trouble with Snape. Here is the snetance: Snap picked up the Zonko's bag. It was supposed to say SNAPE picked up the Zonko's bag. ~Ami In the first book, on page 122 (paperback) it says: And now there were only three people left to be sorted. "Thomas, Dean," a black boy even taller then Ron, joined Harry at the Gryffindor table. "Turpin, Lisa," became a Ravenclaw and then it was Ron's turn..."GRYFFINDOR"...as "Zabini, Blaise was made a Slytherin. It says there were three people left, but it says FOUR people were sorted. (I used...to make the paragraph shorter, but there is more in between) ~Kevin In the second book on page 283, the last word on that page is spelled -professorr- with 2 letter r's. But is is supposed to be spelled with one r. ~Aaron Here is a blooper I found in book 4: In the second chapter Harry is asking himself why he didn't think of writing to Sirius before. It goes on to say, "but then, Harry had only found out that Sirius was his godfather two monthsago." This is wrong because Harry had heard this right before Christmas, and the 4th book starts during summer vacation. ~Nick of Hufflepuff In Book 3 Hermione is taking the following "extra classes": Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, Divination, The Study of Ancient Runes, & MuggleStudies. It says so on page 57 (hardback, the American version) chapter 4, book 3, when Hermione is talking about what books she bought. As you know she goes about doing all of these classes using the time turner. So Hermione has 5 extra classes, where as most students have only 2. Now at the end of the book (page 430, chapter 22, book 4) Hermione says "I went to see Professor McGonagall this morning, just before breakfast. I've decided to drop Muggle Studies.""..."Without Muggle Studies and Divination, I'll be able to have a normal schedule again." Normal students have 2 extra classes, Hermione had 5 but droped 2 (Muggle Studies and Divination), so she still has 3 (Arithmancy, Care of Magical Creatures, and the Study of Ancient Runes). In book 4 she only has Arithmancy and Care of Magical Creatures! What happened to the Study of Ancient Runes? ~Jack |
