hey just a thought, in book 4 harry saw cedric's death right? well why didnt he notice the threstals, in his way back to the dursleys???

--Post some errors from JK's books here--

He probably didn't pay attention or it didn't MENTALLY hit him until later.... he had nightmares all summer

but I mean c'mon is like going to ur car and not notice that there r bloody dogs around it...

jkr answered this on her website

she said that harry didn't see his parents die, he was in his cot at the time. and he couldn't see the threstals until he was over the shock of cedric being dead

She has a given a nasty big answer concerning this problem.

y? I mean when he wasd going back he wasnt on a 'shock'

i dunno thats just what she said, it on her website

O cummon dude! She didnt want to put that thestral thingy in book 4. Simply.

i knwo that I wanna make her pay!!! LOL

i was sure that scar would post a smiliue and hell Im right

She didn't want to introduce something new and big in the last pages of the book 4 (like the thestral), because it will leave people hanging. Especially, since we've waited for years until the 5th came out.

The answer to your question would be at jkrowling.com.

so mny threads like this one

''''she said that harry didn't see his parents die, he was in his cot at the time. and he couldn't see the threstals until he was over the shock of cedric being dead'''


yes but in the 5 book hagrid or dont know ho say that harry can see them because he saw her parents die...................

... i cant rember its all confusing

Yes yes. There's a lot of nitpicky thingies all over the place in the books. But come on. All books have one.

yeah but wot if the 'mistakes' arent really mistakes but happen for a reason ... like him not been able to the horse at the end of bk 4 but he can at bk5 cause at the end of book 4 he was still grieving for the death of cedric ...

He just dont put it all his attencion on the hourses at the end of school

ok i have just read bk4 and when cedric died i am sure to god harry didn't see it .. he saw the flash closed his eyes and then opened them to find cedric already dead ... so he didnt see him die just the after math

but then how Harry saw the theastral in the 5 book, cos if was for seeing his parents die he will saw the theastral in the first year......?

god knows ...

Yeah

yup

shure............

your right, jkrowling messes up all the time. once a guy asked in a chat interview how come prefects are not allowed to take points when percy took 5 points in their second year? and she said that prefects are alllowed to take points so ron just made a mistake by saying that. mistake ? what mistake? it was ernie mcmillan who said prefects are not allowed to take points, not RON. so basically she dosent even know her own work! thats pretty pathetic coming from her, dont you think?

well....................yeah but ................um........dunno its a human error.....

I think people have 2 stop worryin bout da mistakes...I mean she is a BRILIANT writter & I think we r all puttin 2 much presure 4 her 2 get da books out quicker.so she is sure 2 make a mistake here & there....i mean every1 does

at first, i thought jk rowling made a mistake when she made the basilisk a snake and not a lizard. but i realize that she wasn't as off as i had thought, that's cause i read a section on it in this very informative book called "the magical worlds of harry potter" by david colbert. he also wrote one for the lotr trilogy. great books, a reccommended read!

Yes I have read that book...............but didnt like it much....

We all are title to our mistakes.... Jk is no differant... Plus, I agree with
