Corrected entry: In the chapter where Harry and company are having their Care of Magical Creatures with Prof Grubly-Plank, she says to turn in their drawings of bowtruckles at the end of class. In a later chapter, Harry says he has to finish the bowtruckle drawing.

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Corrected entry: In chapter 27, Fudge says, "Or is there the usual simple explanation involving the reversal of time, a dead man coming back to life, and a couple of invisible dementors?" Fudge never knew about Hermione and Harry using the Time-Turner to rescue Sirius in book three.
Correction: Fudge did not really know about the Time-Turner, but he wanted to make a point about how he considers Harry's stories too extravagant and fantastic to believe in, and exaggerates. There were never any "invisible dementors" either, as all of this is something Fudge makes up to illustrate his point.

Corrected entry: In chapter 38, it says that Tonks was wearing a t-shirt that says "The Weird Sisters". But in the illustration at the beginning of the chapter, you can see that only "erd" is visible, but it should be "ird", because the e comes before the i.
Correction: Illustrations are not part of the text, and should not be considered book mistakes. Artwork on DVD cases are not considered movie mistakes, for the same reason.

Corrected entry: When discussing former Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, it's brought up that "one sacked, one dead, one's memory removed and one locked in a trunk for nine months." Lupin is the sacked one that's referred to, but he didn't get sacked, he resigned.
Correction: Character decision - Lupin was practically sacked, but was given the option of resigning first. He still lost his job, and not by his own volition, which is the same as being fired. Lupin was simply allowed to put a nicer name to it, that's all.

Corrected entry: Dennis Creevey is a second-year student, yet somehow he is able to go into the Hog's Head for the D.A. meeting. Only third years and up are allowed into Hogsmeade.
Correction: As seen several times in the books, it is quite possible for Hogwarts students to break the school's rules, if they want it enough. Harry & co. (not to mention the Weasley twins) do it all the time.

Correction: It's not unlikely that the professor was not satisfied with Harry's drawing, and made him do it again as extra homework.
