Annother "mistake" on mugglenet
(NOTE: This mistake applies only to the US versions.) When Professor McGonagall took Harry to Professer Dumbledore's office, the password was "lemon drop", but then in the 4th book when he's going to tell Dumbledore about Mr. Crouch in the forest it says "...five minutes 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 password to the hidden staircase to Dumbledore's office- or at least it had been 2 years ago."
This is because in british version the passward 2 years about WAS sherbert lemon. So the mistake is thanks to the idiots who change j.k rowling work!
Are you talking about the book or the movie? In the movie, if i recall it correctly, she said sherbert lemon. 😕

In book 5, page 117, 6th paragraph, it states, "Snape might refer their work as 'cleaning' but in Harry's opinion they were waging war on the house...." Shouldn't it be Sirius? After all, it was his house they were cleaning. – Thanks to everyone who sent this in
erm wheres the meistake?
I figured it was because Snape had been there earlier and been snooty about them doing cleaning

in book 1 it seys that Hermione lent Harry Quidditch through the ages"She had also lent him Quidditch Through the Ages, which turned out to be a very interesting read." On page 46 paragraph 3 of QTtA, it says "The most successful Japanese team, The Toyohashi Tengu, narrowly missed a win over Lithuania's Gorodok gargoyles in 1994." However, Harry borrows QTtA in Book 1 which is set in 1991. -Thanks Rajan
It wasn't set in 1991 tho, it was just written then
This is what i never understood:
The chamber of secrets was "opened 50 years ago" right? Back then, tom was a teenager and living in an orphanage because both of his parents died a long time ago...but it also says "50 years ago the riddle family died..." in book 5....so what is the sequence of events? how could tom go to hogwarts if his family was dead? and how could he have graduated in that orphanage if his parents had only died the same year?
Alright I don't know if this error has been specified yet, but I don't feel like reading through the 3 pages.
In Book 1, Harry meets Charlie on top of Hogwarts Tower to send Norbert off to be safe in Romania with his own kind. In Book 2, the book says that Harry's NEVER met Charlie.
I had another error on the tip of my tongue but I forgot what it was. I may update later if I remember it.
Okay, now i have a pretty difficult mistake to work around. this might still not be a mistake, if JK has something planned for DH that affects it but for now it is a mistake:
When we learn of the prophecy in Book 5, we also learn that there was an interruption and that the intruder only heard the first part of the prophecy. Then in book 6 we learn that the intruder was Snape - and we learn this from Trelawny herself. Now, correct me if i'm wrong, but doesnt this mean that Trelawny STOPPED reciting the prophecy half-way through and then continued once Snape was chucked out? I mean, is it possible? And in DD's memory of it, where was the interruption at that point?
The only way that this cannot be a mistake is if we stil have not heard the ENTIRE prophecy, and that the 'first part' that Snape overheard was all of what we read in book5 - and that there is still more to it.

Here is a mistake on muglenet
When Tom Riddle was talking to Harry in the Chamber of Secrets he said that they were similar because they were both half-bloods. But Harry isn't a half-blood. Lily and James were both wizards and witches. (Many people say that because Lily was muggle born that makes Harry a half-blood, but that is not true. If both parents are witches and wizards you are a pure-blood. Half-blood means ONE parent is a witch/wizard and the other is a muggle.)
Actually pure blood means u have not a drop of muggle blood in ur viens like the malfoys. And muggles borns have muggle perants sos since ur either pureblood halfblood or muggle born the harry (bein niether pure blood or muggleborn) is half blood
That's right.
Just because Lily is a fully-trained witch doesn't change the fact that she was still born a muggle which makes Harry a half-blood.

On page 133, 4th paragraph, it says that Hermione lent Harry Quidditch through the ages: "She had also lent him Quidditch Through the Ages, which turned out to be a very interesting read." On page 46 paragraph 3 of QTtA, it says "The most successful Japanese team, The Toyohashi Tengu, narrowly missed a win over Lithuania's Gorodok gargoyles in 1994." However, Harry borrows QTtA in Book 1 which is set in 1991. -Thanks RajanMugglenet shouldn't assume the books are is set in 1991 because that is when j.k rowling it. No where in the book does it say a exact year when the book is set so this paragraphs should be proof it was NOT set in 1991 not that it was and j.k made a mistake writing it.
I also think this may not be a mistake as a book like "Quidditch Through the Ages" most likely would have updated every few years so Harry could have borrowed a previous version of the book.

If I remember correctly, when Tom's mother gave birth she left him in the orphanage before dieing. He did not find out about his father until years later. The "Riddle Family" dieing reffers to Tom's Father and his grandparents
