book mistakes - order of the phoenix

* Second-year student Dennis Creevey goes to the Hog's Head for the first DA "meeting", but only third-years and older are allowed to go to Hogsmeade during term time.

* Before Harry's first Quidditch match, Harry is glad that it is cloudy, but than later JKR explains that the stadium is in dazzling sunlight. How do you have dazzling sunlight in a cloudy day?

u no the last thing u put was the first book not the fth lol. ther were other student there as well that were not 3rd years

Polly only 3rd years and up are allowed in to hogsmeade on Weekends.

about the second mistake you said.... maybe the clouds cleared up after Harry saw it was a cloudy day? or maybe there was a gap in the clouds that sunlight got through? its possible

The cover of OOTP shows Harry in the Department of Mysteries holding his wand in his left hand. However, it is clearly stated that his right arm is his wand arm.

In the Hardcover U.S. edition of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, page 12, paragraph three, it says, "Harry stepped into the shadow of a large lilac tree and waited." But lilacs grow on bushes, not trees.

In OOTP, page 60, the description of 12 Grimmauld Place states, "The silver door knocker was in the form of a twisted serpent. There was no keyhole or letterbox." However, it clearly shows on the title page (the drawing of Snuffles exiting number twelve) that there is a keyhole, and no letter box

On page 166, Chapter 9, "The Woes of Mrs. Weasley," it says: "He pretended to be rummaging for something while Hermione crossed to the wardrobe and called Hedwig down. A few moments passed; Harry heard the door close but remained bent double, listening... He straightened up and looked behind him. Hermione and Hedwig had gone. Harry hurried across the room, closed the door..." But Harry had already heard the door close.

In OOTP, American edition, hardcover version, on pages 198-199, it says: "The horse was there in front of him, gleaming solidly in the dim light issuing from the station windows behind them, vapor rising from its nostrils in the chilly night air." Before this line, Harry tells Ron that he can see the skeletal horses and Ron can't see them. However, even if Ron couldn't see the horses, he should have been able to see the vapor rising from nowhere.

On page 225 of the American edition, Ron groans about their schedule. "History of Magic, double Potions, Divination and double Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Shortly after, on page 229, Harry and his classmates suffer "an hour and a half's droning". Later, on pages 232-233, Snape informs the class they have "an hour and a half" to complete their assignment. It was a regular History of Magic lesson, yet it lasted the same amount of time as double Potions

I just noticed something.

When oddy is showing Harry the picture of the orginal OotP members, there was a mistake. The Preweet Brothers were in that picture along with Harrys parents, Remus, Sirius and wormtail, but it is already canon information the the Pretweets died in 1973, when the Marouders were only 13.

I think JKR is forgetting some of the things she has already stated, it is growing confusing.

yeah and in PoA ginny went 2 hogsmeade as well and she was a second year

Denis crevey was a 4th year!!!

Are you not confusing Dennis with his brother Colin? I get both of them mixed up but i believe Colin was the 4th year and Dennis the 2nd.
