in the beginning chapter of GoF they say that the riddle family(tom senior, his wife, and tom jr. aka volde) were all murdered in their house. in HBP they say that toms parents seperated, and tom became and orphan. wtf? am i missing something?
Not sure if this was answered yet, haven't read the last page of this thread, but in GoF it wasn't Tom Senior, his Wife, and Tom Jr. (aka voldy), it was Tom Senior, and Tom seniors parents. Voldemort went and killed his father and his grandparents.

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.

HBP MISTAKES!

Now, to clear up the First Year Quidditch business, there is no rule saying that First years cannot play on the Quidditch team, but since none of them don't even know how to fly, they usually don't get picked. Harry wasn't a exception, he was a good flyer.

yeah i thought that too and another thing which REALLY REALLY gets me is that Harry has changed from green eyes to blue...if as the majority of us recognise that him having green eyes it so important to the plot then WHY??? does he have blue i mean he could wear contacts or even they could change them on a computer for close up work where people would recognise that there not that colour...sorry it just really grates me!!

no one answered my question why couldnt the kids use truth serum or a penmsive to show whut went on durin the convo with peter petigrew...n e one have e ideas?

Kissing and snogging are two different things...snogging is like the term making out...when you make out with someone you don't just kiss, you touch and grope a bit too, which is why the term snogging is used. And in GoF, they say Tom Senior's Father, Tom Senior's Mother, and Voldie's Dad. We've already established these things so I will move on. In my book there is no mistake for Mrs. Weasley saying the purkey and tooding thing, sometimes I don't think there are mistakes with that kind of thing because of how when JK writes she uses ` instead of the usual ".
I hate how on page 13, the Prime Minister thinks Sirius' name like the word Serious when Sirius is a British name and he's British. But anyways...I don't remember the part about the conversation with Pettigrew, if you'd like an answer kaidaboo, could you put it in a bit more detail what you're asking, it would help a lot. Thank You. Also...there is a mistake on page 23, and I've checked over 10 books, and they're all like that. If you look around the middle of that page...23...if you need to be reminded, when the line 'He's only quacking!' said the Prime Minister weakly...etc...' You'll notice that not only there, but throughout the book as well, in between words are double spaces instead of single. Infact, if you don't believe me, you can measure, simply by looking up at the lines above or below to see that the spacing is bigger, like the word under 'said' in that line is 'maybe' and then next to 'maybe' is the word 'go', and if you look, it's quite easy to notice that the spaces between 'said' and 'the' compared to 'maybe' and 'go' are definitely different. If you don't get it just try and compare that line with some other ones. there are a few more mistakes but I'm going to sit back and relax to see if anyone else can find them... have fun!

if you look in your book, on the right side the words in one paragraph end in one line and if the words are to short, they must make double spaces, if they dont do that, they wouldnt end in one line

i hope you understand what i want to say

Kissing can't happen between platonic friends (at least REAL kissing) Do you even know what platonic means?

😆 Imbecile... the word kiss generally refers to a polite kiss, on the cheek, on the hand, perhaps even on the lips... so yes, platonic is relevant. It also means kissing of a more tender type. Snogging is applied to horny teenagers.

Try to write a paragraph on a word program on your computer and notice that if you centre align the paragraph, some words will be separated with double spacing. It's just the way it goes... she could, however, have used a hyphen in the word 'Surely', with the first part of the word on the first line and the second part on the second. And you're being anal 😛

yeah, snog annoys me 2, i call sneakers etc sandshoes
