merope got tom with a love potion, when she stopped using it he left her and went back home. Merope had voldie at an orphanage and died. When Voldie grew up, he figured out what happened and killed his dad and his grandparents ((opening of GoF))

ok thanks 🙂

also why dont people get that slughorn calling Ron, Rupert wasnt a mistake, Slughorn didnt find Ron important enough to remember his name but at least remembered it starts with an R so he called him Ralf and Rupert...

Come to think of... *looks around as everyone leans in*, there IS a mistake in the book... *goes to fetch my copy of HBP*... *turns to page 342*... ah, here it is... Okay, it's very easy to catch because it's in the first paragraph. It says:
"Please, come in, sit down, Minister!" fluttered Mrs. Weasley, starightening her hat. Have a little purkey, or some toodling... I mean--"
See, if you haven't already figured it out yet, JKR forgot a quote. Here's how it should be:
"Please, come in, sit down, Minister!" fluttered Mrs. Weasley, starightening her hat. "Have a little purkey, or some toodling... I mean-"
I feel so much better now.

that mistake isnt in the uk version...well not in mine anyway...

Kiss: Is just lips

Snog: French kissing with TONGUES

Now stop complaining about british slang, its a british book so live with it.

I have one of the hard cover ones. Maybe I'm the only one that has it. I don't know. I'm just saying mine has a mistake.

Obviously, it's a British book, with British slangs. 😐

Thank god it was british slang. I went on webster and didn't find anything, I was thinking I'm way behind my age in poor vocabulary.

THanks for clearing that up, I was beginning to think Snog is to make out or something...

Well no one was exactly complaining, rather saying it was stupid to put the word 'snogging' in the book and she should have just uses kissing. Dude we have much stupider slang words then THAT!

I wanna say that i'm proud of myself that i understood that song and trianers thing 😂 (without having english as the 1st language 😛)

also of course that SLughorn made the mistake and not JK

as for the first years playing quiditch i was wondering too..but it's nott hat important since none of them got into team.

as for typing mistakes i was just correcting them while reading..i had '.doc' version bag

and tbh..i've noticed something what disturbed me a bit..but now i don't remeber anymore 😕

well...the first year things doesnt bother me...its not like they couldn't get on the team, for a first...its just they havent, or else they harry couldn't have. that might be wrong...havent read the first 5 in a very long time. Plus why couldn't their be first years there to admire harry? I mean there were a few hufflepuffs as well...i dont think jk would have made that mistake. Everything she did had a purpose...I hope

after noticing it Harry asked everyone not from Griffindor to go away...so it wasn't a mistake faa shore

i agree...sounds rather..crude 😖

then again the action is too 🙄 ron-and-lavender style,that's right ✅

i think we've cleared up the first two questions (repeatedly) 😂 has anyone spotted any other mistakes?

babysooner13,i dont get you post,it's just the same thing repeated 😖

iv noticed jk contidicts her self alot you would thinkthere would be ppl proofreading and double checkin alll her details ..like in the 3rd book they say no one will believe 3 teems about what occored durin the conversation with serioius and peter petigrew but why couldnt they use truth serum or a pensive...or when harry witnissed voldermorts return..i8 know some of you are just conserned with the 6th book but honestly i have so many problems with that book i dont want to ellaborate and not everyones read it soi dont wanna ruin n e thing for n e one...but n e ways bback to my first point does n e one agree with me about being able to clear seriouss name.????i know it would ruin the suspence in the other books but she shouldnt have put things in her books like a pensive or truth serum if it want gonna be used for the most obvious reasons

and wasnt each book suppose to be longer than the last book..i thuoght that is how it was intended..does n e one know???if you do fill me in

when it says that Harry's the youngest player of the century it means that 1st years usally don't get picked because they usally don't know how to fly or anything yet!!!

why does it always say he's tieing his trainers?? what are those? like.. tennisshoes? or what?

Don't know if anyone put this, but in the thrid film, it opens with Harry saying

"Lumos Maxima!" but underaged wizards can't do magic outside school.

A serious lapse on Alfonso's part.
