Back in December of 2010 the Haunt Club interviewed Kane Hodder, the actor who portrayed Jason Voorhees in four of the Friday the 13th films. Rather than let the interview be buried in history, we decided to show it off for everyone to enjoy. So, without further discussions, here is the interview:
Calvin: First off, how was your Halloween this year? Do you ever don the Jason Voorhees outfit and scare the neighborhood kids?
Jason: Halloween was great. I was in New York City on Halloween Day for a couple big TV interviews for Fox and Friends and Good Day NY. I also did several radio interviews for Sirius and then got to watch all the people in Times Square in their costumes. There was even a Jason walking around! Ahhh memories.
Calvin: You're the only actor to play three of the most iconic horror icons in the history of film: Leatherface, Jason Voorhees, and Victor Crowley. Is there something that attracted you to these characters?
Kane: I have often said that my actual personality is closer to that of a maniacal murderer than most people's personalities, so the trip to that state of mind is a quick one for me. Sounds like a joke, but I'm serious. Most actors will tell you it's more fun being the bad guy. I absolutely love it. Some people say I enjoy it too much.
Calvin: Of the three characters, do you have a favorite?
Kane: Jason put me on the map, so that character will always be very close to my heart, but I also love the Victor Crowley character as well. It's always nice to originate a character and continue with his story.
Calvin: Your body language behind these characters, it's horrifying, and really lends to the character's personality. How difficult was it to immerse yourself into the mind of a sociopath?
Kane: It was easy. Very easy. What does that tell you?
Calvin: Does this sociopathic body language help when you play poker?
Kane: The body language doesn't necessarily help while playing poker, but the history of my antics on and off the set, while playing the character help somewhat. My image of being unpredictable and crazy on the set makes poker foes worry about that stuff happening instead of concentrating on just poker. Anything to distract them is good for me.
Calvin: In Friday the 13th Part VIII: Jason Takes Manhattan, the script called for Jason to kick the main character's dog, but you refused, claiming that Jason was not that bad. Can you share your thoughts on Jasons morality?
Kane: I didn't necessarily think it was a moral choice. I just always thought that if anything, Jason would identify with an animal. Not hurt it. Humans were responsible for what happened to Jason. Not animals.
Calvin: Alright enough morality, do you have a favorite kill scene?
Kane: Favorite Jason kill is the sleeping bag and favorite all-time kill is ripping the woman's head apart by her jaw in Hatchet. Both are pure genius. Does that sound weird?
Calvin: In your autobiography, Unmasked: The True Life Story of the World's Most Prolific, Cinematic Killer, you thank all of your fans for their love and admiration. That is, except for the guy who sent you a bottle of freshly squeezed semen. Care to talk about your reaction?
Kane: Utter shock, when I realized what it was. I guess he thought I would be flattered. Uhhh, nope. And I thought I was fucked up in the head.
Calvin: There's a rumor going around that you're a Juggalo and huge fan of the Insane Clown Posse. What attracted you to this crowd – music, style, maybe some lyrical message?
Kane: I just love the music and the attitude. Best concerts I have ever been to.
Calvin: Has your ghost hunting group, Hollywood Ghost Hunters, found anything recently?
Kane: Because of Mike Aloisi and I being on our book tour for the last 3 months, we haven't had much chance to go ghost hunting. We were able to investigate Rolling Hills Asylum in the summer and we just spent a few days at the Stanley Hotel, which was very cool.
Calvin: Do you have any upcoming projects we should keep an eye out for?
Kane: We will be shooting Hatchet 3 in the next few months. I play an abused husband in a movie called The Afflicted. Chillerama comes out next week. I did a 3D horror version of Robin Hood in Germany where I play Little John. I'm a bisexual sadist in a film called Tag. I did an untitled comedy with Adam Rifkin and a prison movie with Tony Todd called Cut. Lots of fun stuff.
Calvin: As a parting question, do you have any advice for individuals looking to score horror roles?
Kane: Be natural with your violence Or I'll kill you.

Maine Corrections Commissioner Joseph Ponte today defended the process he used to fire Maine State Prison Warden Patricia Barnhart last week, without getting into specifics about why she was let go. In a briefing before the Legislature's Criminal Justice Committee Wednesday morning, Ponte also outlined other priorities for his department, including a $100-million bond that he says is urgently needed to replace the Maine Correctional Center in Windham. Susan Sharon has more.
Commissioner Ponte remained tight-lipped about the reasons for the termination of Barnhart, who had been on the job for three years. "I just came from a meeting with the attorney general and she advised that I can't say anything," he said.
Ponte says he hopes to have the confidential personnel issue resolved in a couple of weeks, and said he would share with committee members the same data he gave to the attorney general to justify his decision. Until then, the warden position can't be posted. But Ponte still hopes to find a permanent replacement within a few months.
"I think a lot of the questions we're getting from the public and individual members of our caucuses is how did this happen? What's the procedural issue?" says Democratic Rep. Mark Dion, an attorney and former sheriff, who co-chairs the Criminal Justice Committee. "I respect the fact that it has to be confidential at this juncture. But where are we in terms of posture of this case?"
Ponte says a meeting with the warden is planned for Wednesday, at which time he hopes a satisfactory agreement can be reached between the state and Barnhart. He told the committee that he followed proper procedures in dismissal of the warden, and said the attorney general agreed.
Speaking with reporters later, Ponte said Barnhart's dismissal was not based on a single incident and did not include other personnel. He also outlined his justification for a $100-million bond to replace the aging Maine Correctional Center in Windham.
"I think it's very urgent - to get to the processes that we need to get to, I think it's urgent that we do that," Ponte said. "I think it's going to save the state a lot of money. Just to maintain that old, physical plant we should be spending millions of dollars every year, where in fact we could build a new system that's gonna cost us some money, but at the end of the day we're going to be saving personnel money because of the efficiencies of the design."
Ponte says a reconfiguration of beds, depending on the new facility's design, could save the state about $4 million a year. But Democratic Sen. Stan Gerzofsky told the commissioner to expect a careful scrutiny from the committee. Gerzofsky says he heard the same arguments about construction of the Maine State Prison in Warren more than a decade ago.
"Somebody was convinced that you could shut down Thomaston - I think it was about 500 beds - you could build Warren, which I think was close to 1,000 beds, and that you didn't need to hire a whole lot more guards because the sight of view and modern technology. Well, we blew the roof off of overtime, so we're gonna be critical because it's $100 million that we're talking about," Gerzofsky says.
In addition to the new prison bond, the Maine Department of Corrections is also pursuing legislation that would allow first-time offenders between the ages of 18 and 24 to be housed at the Mountain View Youth Development Center in Charleston. Currently it accommodates juvenile offenders between the ages of 11 and 21.
Barry Stoodley, associate commissioner for the Division of Juvenile Corrections, says the 133-bed facility has extra capacity. But more importantly, he says there is research to justify the policy change.
"Brain research that I know that most folks are well aware of has changed immensely over the past few years and it's clear that most people at the age of 18 don't really have a fully-functional frontal lobe," Stoodley says. "They're not able to make the kinds of decisions that we would expect of adults."
Stoodley says the policy change could siginicantly improve the way this difficult population is managed and treated. But committee members indicated that, too, will be getting a critical look, since it is a departure from standard practice.

Back on the coach, head towards Genoa, birthplace of explorer Christopher Columbus, for an overnight. (B)
Today's included guided sightseeing tour is an excellent introduction to Genoa. A maze of squares and alleys, the city grew around the port, a natural inlet, and boasts the largest medieval historical center in Europe. Some of the highlights include the remains of the city's 17th-century fortifications; the Lanterna (lighthouse), a symbol of Genoa; San Lorenzo Cathedral; Christopher Columbus' childhood home; the Palace of the Doges, ancient seat of Genoese government; and one of Europe's biggest aquariums.

A few days ago there was a strong but fruitful debate about the cost of doing business in Tanzania as well as consumer behaviour in the country. The debate was initiated by a Tanzanian journalist, a researcher and lecturer currently living in Washington, Mobhare Matinyi.
The genesis of this debate was the sad story of the closure of Deacons, the clothing and lifestyle goods retailer. The firm's board decided to exit the country after its subsidiary, Tanzania Fashion Stores, incurred losses worth $200,000 in the full year ending December 2011, marking a fifth straight year of losses despite efforts to turn it around, according to a story published by The East African, a flagship weekly of the Nation Group.
The Nairobi-based retail chain will close three stores in Tanzania -- Truworths, Identity and 4u2 branded stores. The company's chief executive, Muchiri Wahome said, "Doing business in Tanzania has been extremely difficult. The cost is 30 to 40 per cent higher compared with other markets.
According to Deacons, the Tanzanian middle class is also not as big and the uptake of our brands was also not as big," noting that the cost of upmarket rental space in Tanzania is $40 per square foot compared with $18 in the rest of the region.
In South Africa the cost of rental space ranges between $15 and $20 per square foot depending on the location of the property.
Measured by any standards, the Deacons' closure is another evidence of the surging cost of doing business especially for medium scale companies with a capital base ranging from $1million to $10million.
We have always believed that the amount of rent charged by some real estate developers can only be afforded by drug dealers and corrupt business. Taking the advantage of the lack of a regulatory authority, Dar es Salaam property owners have been operating under the 'jungle rule' theory.
If the rest of East African region charges $18 per square foot, but in Dar es Salaam the same cost you two times, then it means 'we are more expensive in the region.' If you add this with draconian tax rules, which seek to encourage more taxpayers to qualify as tax evaders, the cost of surviving in Tanzania for small medium enterprises remains 'a nightmare.'
Commercial and residential rents charged by real estate investors are shocking and painful to tenants. The most appalling thing is that most real estate owners charge rents in US dollars, and apart from being expensive, a tenant is forced to pay for 12 months before entering the house.
For instance a two-bedroom house at Mikocheni suburb cost $3000 per month, while the same in Nairobi or Johannesburg cost $2000 depending on the location, and you can choose to pay your rent monthly or after every three months.
We have always maintained and still believe that Dar es Salaam is our economic hub as well as our sitting room. Therefore the government and private sector have a role to reduce the cost of doing business in Dar es Salaam and the rest of the country.
Landlords should understand that real estate is the most valuable business that gives you your return in a longer period ranging between 10 and 30 years depending on the location, and therefore it's impossible to build a $50 million shopping mall and expect to recover your cost in five years.
If this is the case then to recover your money whether be it bank loans or drug billions within five years, you will have to charge exorbitant rents at the expense of your tenants. Our investors especially in real estate should understand that we are not living in an island, but in a globalised village where we compete with others.

Genetics is the study of heredity, the process of a parent passing certain genes on to their children.
Genetic counseling is the process where parents can learn more about:
Couples who want to have a baby can have tests before they get pregnant. Doctors can also test a fetus (unborn baby) to see if the baby will have a genetic disorder, such as cystic fibrosis or Down syndrome.
It is up to you whether or not to have genetic counseling and testing. You will want to think about your personal desires, religious beliefs, and family circumstances.
Some people have a greater risk than others for passing on genetic disorders to their children. They are:
Doctors also suggest testing for:
Talk about genetic counseling with your doctor and your family. Ask questions you may have about the test and what the results will mean for you.
Keep in mind that genetic tests that are done before you get pregnant (conceive) can usually only tell you the odds of having a child with a certain birth defect. For instance, you may learn that you have a 1 in 4 chance of having a child with a certain disease or defect.
If you decide to conceive, you will need more tests to see if your baby will have the defect or not.
For those who may be at risk, test results can help answer such questions as:
You can prepare by finding out if any medical problems like these run in your family:
Steps in genetic counseling include:
If you choose to be tested after you become pregnant, tests that may be done during the pregnancy (either on the mother or fetus) include:
These tests have some risks. They may cause infection, harm the fetus, or cause a miscarriage. If you are worried about these risks, talk to your doctor.
The purpose of genetic counseling is simply to help parents make informed decisions. A genetic counselor will help you figure out how to use the information you get from your tests. If you are at risk, or if you find out that your baby has a disorder, your counselor and doctor will talk to you about options and resources. But the decisions are yours to make.

[♪♪] Reader's Digest is one of the largest circulation magazines in the United States. [Peggy Northrop - Global Editor-in-Chief, Reader's Digest] We are also in 45 countries and 22 languages and 50 editions. It makes us the largest circulation magazine in the world. [Ann Powell - Managing Editor, Reader's Digest] Reader's Digest has always been about curation from its very beginnings. What we're doing today is very similar. And with the iPad app we take that to a new level. [♪♪] Of course we wanted to be on the iPad the minute it came out. And we are using the same tools and the same formatting on the BlackBerry PlayBook device. [♪♪] We've returned to our roots in the last couple of years and are serving a whole new generation of readers by going out into a lot of other platforms and devices. [Dan Lagani - President, Reader's Digest Community] The potential for interactivity that comes along with the tablet devices is tremendous. It opens a whole new set of possibilities for how we translate the Reader's Digest brand for consumers. [♪♪] [Northrop] Like many other magazine publishing companies, Reader's Digest wants to be where our readers are. [Powell] As soon as we saw the tablet, we knew that we wanted to be on as many as we could. But because we're a small team, we weren't really sure how we could pull it off. [Robert Newman - Editorial and Design Consultant, Reader's Digest] When we started out, we thought, "This is really daunting. What do we know about iPad apps?" [♪♪] [Tara Knight - Production Manager, Reader's Digest] At first, everyone was nervous about fitting this into the schedule. But the Adobe tools make it easy for print people to just use what they know and hit the ground running. [♪♪] The idea that the Digital Publishing Suite fits with all the stuff that we already have and that we're already quite familiar with is absolutely essential. We've learned that there are no limitations with the digital page. And for us this is very magical because now we've got all these extra tools to use and all these extra ways to interact with people. My staff and I agree that we are having the most fun that we've ever had. We came out with an Around the World with One Question app so you can spin our globe. We made Word Power interactive. Every single month we try and add something new that we think will surprise and delight our readers. [♪♪] [Powell] I don't think we understood in the beginning how we could kind of push the edges of design on the tablet, and that has been a delightful thing to see. It's kind of incredible to think about where we might be in a year or two years with this kind of technology. The most important thing that we can do for the consumers of Reader's Digest is to make certain that the brand is available in any format that they want. [Northrop] We've had about 50,000 downloads of our shell so far, and we have proved that there is a true market for it among the purchasers of these new devices. [Powell] We've made a strong investment in Adobe, and it seems our future is with continuing to use this. What I really wanted our readers to feel and see when they encountered Reader's Digest on the iPad was, "Wow! That's the magazine that I know and love." And now there it is on their favorite new toy. ...like toast or something. >>Right, right. It's a very exciting, invigorating moment for us as publication designers and visual communicators because suddenly there's this whole new world and this whole new way of speaking. [♪♪] [Adobe]

Mistakes in the Harry Potter books

- "As obsessive fans will tell you, I do slip up! Several classrooms move floors mysteriously between books and these are the least serious continuity errors! Most of the fansites will point you in the direction of my mistakes. But the essentials remain consistent from book to book because the story has been plotted for a long time and it is clear in my mind."
- —J. K. Rowling on the errors within the franchise.[1]
Below is a list of mistakes that occur in the Harry Potter book series.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
- Much of the first chapter talks about wizards celebrating the fall of Voldemort all day long, yet Harry's family was attacked at night; unless it took Hagrid 24 hours to get Harry from his parents' ruined house to Little Whinging, this seemingly does not make sense. A possible explanation, however, is that it does not say when Hagrid pulled him from the house. It could have been a full day until they could respond, or he could have kept Harry with him until night, when he could easily fly under cover of darkness to Little Whinging. He could have also gone to get baby Harry checked over to see if he had been harmed. The day, however, is November 1st, the day after Voldemort's downfall, so the celebrations are happening after his downfall the evening prior. *We are also told later on in the Prisoner of Azkaban that Sirius was present for some time before Harry was given to Hagrid, so this may account for some more time.
- The beginning of the story takes place on a "dull grey Tuesday." In 1981, however, Oct 31 was on a Saturday, placing the celebrations on Nov 3. This makes what the TV weatherman wrong as he admonished people that Bonfire Night was the next week. In fact, it would have been in two days. The two days may in fact have crossed the boundary of that week, making the weatherman correct. The weatherman may have just said that to humour the situation.
- The boa constrictor at the Zoo winked at Harry during their conversation. And while snakes do have eyelids, it is impossible for snakes to blink like the boa constrictor did to Harry, their eyes being protected by transparent scales. Then again, snakes may possess magical abilities currently unknown to humans, or perhaps only witches and wizards can see them blink.
- Harry's 11th birthday, 31 July, was a Tuesday. But in 1991 in the real world, that date was a Wednesday.
- When Harry and Hagrid are leaving the little shack out in the middle of the sea, they used the rowboat that the Dursleys' had borrowed in order to leave the rock. This leaves the Dursleys with no way to get back to shore, yet there is no mention of retrieving them, and it is implied Harry goes straight back to Privet Drive after his shopping at Diagon Alley. Hagrid may have used magic to send the boat back to the rock island.
- On Harry's Hogwarts list of school supplies, "1 Wand" is listed twice, as both the first and last item on the list. (Rectified in later editions)
- It states in the Hogwarts letter that you can bring an owl, toad, or cat. Ron brings his rat Scabbers. It is possible, however, that the rules are leniently enforced, or despite those specific animals being listed, there is no specific prohibition against other types of animals.
- The air in the tunnels to the Gringotts vaults is described as getting colder as they go deeper. This only happens very near the surface, and only when the weather has been relatively warm. Once you get below the level where the temperature depends heavily on the seasons at the surface, the geothermal gradient takes over, and it gets hotter as you go deeper. In the world's deepest mines, the miners can only work for a short time before being brought back up, because of the risk of heat stroke.
- Much importance is placed on the theme of wandlore and wand ownership throughout the series, so it seems odd in retrospect that, during Harry's first meeting with Draco Malfoy in Madam Malkin's, he should mention that his mother is away looking at wands. Indeed, it is just as odd to hear that Ron has been equipped with Charlie's old wand. It is mentioned, however, in Deathly Hallows and on Pottermore that there are old superstitions about wands and what kind of people are chosen by certain wands and so it's possible that Narcissa Malfoy had certain beliefs along those lines. She may also be looking at wands for Draco. As for Ron, his parents probably could not afford to buy him a new wand at the time. This was probably meant to show that his family was not very well off in terms of wealth. Even though it is better to have your own wand, a person can still do magic with another person's wand.
- When Harry is talking to Hagrid about his first meeting with Draco Malfoy, Hagrid says that "there's not a single witch or wizard who went bad that wasn't in Slytherin." At the point when this conversation takes place, Hagrid (along with the rest of the wizarding world) would have been under the impression that Sirius Black, a Gryffindor, was responsible for betraying Harry's parents. This, however, is potentially simply an instance of the literary device of hyperbole ("the use of a statement to evoke strong feelings or create a strong impression but not meant to be taken literally"), rather than ever being intended as an accurate historical statement, even if one ignores the fact that there are known to be dark wizards from other schools, such as Grindelwald.
- When Harry returns from Diagon Alley to Little Whinging, he takes a train from Paddington station. But Little Whinging is in Surrey, south of London, so he should have travelled from Victoria or Waterloo; trains from Paddington head to the west. The sixth movie has shown that Little Whinging is very likely within a few miles of Surbiton (on the lines from Waterloo), and hence not within several miles of any station served by trains from Paddington.
- Hermione Granger says that she has been practicing spells at home, but this is against the Decree for the Reasonable Restriction of Underage Sorcery, which normally results in a warning letter. Hermione, however, was Muggle-born, and had not yet started school, so it is possible that Muggle-born children are not informed of these rules prior to starting school. Alternatively, it is also possible that she practiced the wrist movements one does when executing spells, or the correct pronunciation of the spells, rather than the actual execution of the spells. In book 7, Snape says to Harry's mother Lily that they could get away with doing magic, because they weren't at Hogwarts yet.
- While being Sorted into houses, Harry looks up at the Sorting Hat's stool, and there are only three people left to be sorted. Professor McGonagall then calls out the names of four more students. (This is only in the US edition - in the UK edition, Dean Thomas's name is omitted. Rectified in later editions).
- When Harry first met Nicholas de Mimsy-Porpington, the ghost says he had not eaten in nearly 400 years. Yet he had, at the time, already been dead for 99 years longer than that. (Rectified in later editions).
- Harry buys the book One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi, but later, he looks up "dittany" in One Hundred Magical Herbs and Fungi. (Rectified in later editions).
- Fred Weasley says that Gryffindor has not won the Quidditch Cup since Charlie left. According to J.K. Rowling, Charlie is three years older than Percy who is in his fifth year, meaning that Charlie would have left the year before.So basically Fred is saying that Gryffindor has not won since last year. Professor McGonagall also said that Gryffindor was flattened in the last game between Gryffindor and Slytherin. While this is not an outright mistake, it is still somewhat confusing. It is possible that, like Harry, Charlie was an excellent Quidditch player, but still only won the Cup on one or two occasions due to other circumstances. Another confusing part is that readers confuse the Quidditch Cup with the House Cup. At this time Slytherin was on a six-year winning streak with the House Cup, not the Quidditch Cup.
- During the Hallowe'en feast, when the troll is let in, Professor Dumbledore sends the students to their dormitories. However, the troll is said to be in the dungeons, and that is also where the Slytherin dormitories are, meaning Dumbledore has put them directly in harm's way by sending them there. He did, however, send the sixth and seventh years with them, and, given that the Trio were able to handle a single troll on their own, one would not be able to overcome that many wizards.
- During the match against the giant chess set, Ron says, "Well, Harry, you take the place of that bishop, and Hermione, you go next to him instead of that castle." But the castle is next to the knight, not the bishop. It is, however, possible he meant "next to him" to mean "on the same side of the king and queen."
- At the beginning of the chess match, Ron is the knight in the giant chess set. However, it later says that he had to "move ahead one" so the Queen could take him, opening the path for Harry to checkmate the king. If he were a knight, he could only move 1) ahead one, sideways two, or 2) ahead two, sideways one, like an "L." It is possible this meant "one" as in a single move, but it is still an odd construction regardless.
- On Page 173 of the UK paperback, in "Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback", it says "Wednesday night found Harry and Hermione sitting alone in the common room, long after everyone else had gone to bed. The clock had just chimed midnight...." However in Chapter 8, "The Potions Master", it is mentioned that Astonomy classes take place every Wednesday at midnight. Therefore, they are presumably skipping class, and the other students should not be asleep. (Norbert's departure is changed to Saturday in later editions.)
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
- The Hogwarts' equipment list mentions the Lockhart book "Wanderings with Werewolves," but later, Lockhart refers to the book as "Weekend with a Werewolf" (fixed in later editions).
- The UK version of the cover illustration of Harry, Ron, and Hedwig in the flying Ford Anglia incorrectly depicts Hedwig as a Barn Owl rather than a Snowy Owl.
- When Harry and Ron arrive at Hogwarts in Ron's father's flying Ford Anglia (a scene which takes place on September 1, 1992), they are told that they had been seen by Muggles in various situations, including flying past the "Post Office Tower." Quite apart from the fact that a change of ownership means that the building in question has been called the "BT Tower" since 1984, said building is about a mile southwest of King's Cross, so to be passing it, Harry and Ron had to be going in entirely the wrong direction to be following the Hogwarts Express, or even the tracks generally.
- After Harry, Ron, Fred, and George arrive at the Burrow after getting Harry, Mrs. Weasley shouts at Fred first. "You will not," then she says, "and you two," glaring at Ron and Fred. It should say George since she has already yelled at Fred (fixed in later editions).
- Dumbledore tells Harry at the end that Lord Voldemort is the last remaining ancestor of Salazar Slytherin. But ancestors are in the past — he means Voldemort is the last descendant of Salazar Slytherin (corrected in later printings).
- Hermione says Moaning Myrtle haunts the bathroom on the first floor. However, when Harry sees the writing on the wall outside her bathroom, he is on the second floor. This is explained by the fact that in the UK, the ground floor is the floor on which the entrances are, and the floor above it is the first floor, and this was one of the few edits made for the North American release, despite the criticism on edits for Philosopher's Stone.
- When Harry is viewing the memory from Tom Riddle's diary, Tom Riddle says to Hagrid at one point, "The dead girl's parents will be here tomorrow." It is stated elsewhere in the book that Myrtle is Muggle-born. Muggles cannot enter Hogwarts. It is possible, however, that an exception was made for them — that the Muggle-Repelling Charm could be lifted a day or two for this reason. Considering that the Grangers were able to enter Diagon Alley without any problems when normal Muggles could not see The Leaky Cauldron, this theory is somewhat strengthened.
- February 14, 1993, was a Sunday in the real world, yet in the book the students had their classes on that day since Harry got his "musical message" when he walking upstairs for Charms.
- When Harry speaks Parseltongue to the snake during his duel with Draco, everyone hears him hissing. Therefore, when Harry hears the basilisk speaking in the walls, Ron and Hermione should hear hissing, yet they claim to hear nothing. They might, however, hear pipes hissing but subconsciously ignore it, dismissing it as creaking wood, an air current going through the pipes, or other animals such as mice. Alternatively, it could be that the snake is simply making a very quiet hissing. The basilisk's voice is implied to be a whisper and Harry, being the only one to hear English words, would be the only one to notice anything. Another explanation could be that Harry could originally not tell where the voice was coming from, so it must have been quiet (this strengthens the other thoery)
- The first day of term is always September 1, and the next day is always a Monday. This is impossible, due to the fact that the year does not have 364 (divisible by 7) days.
- Draco Malfoy and other Slytherins arrive when Mrs. Norris has been petrified. However, their dormitory is in the dungeons, so they have no reason to be on the second floor.
- On page 283 of some copies of the US paperback edition, the word professor is spelled as professorr.
- Percy's name is spelled Perry (fixed in later editions).
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
- Hermione's Time-Turner is a major secret that supposedly took a lot of persuasion to obtain. However, it should not be such a secret and out-of-place occurrence: any Gryffindor taking the Study of Ancient Runes would need to use one to attend their Friday Charms class that happens at the same time. Likewise, any Gryffindor who takes any combination of Divination, Muggle Studies, and Ancient Runes would require a Time-Turner since all of those classes occur at the same time on Wednesday mornings.
- Fred and George Weasley had the Marauder's Map before Harry did, so if Harry can see Peter Pettigrew in the map, then Fred and George seemingly ought to have noticed that Pettigrew was sleeping with Ron every night. They did, however, tell Harry that they found the map in their first year and no longer needed it since they "know it by heart," so it is possible that they have not used it since Ron (and Scabbers) arrived at Hogwarts, or that they believed that the map made a mistake, that conclusion having been drawn by Harry. It is also entirely possible that the twins simply had no interest in using the map to look at their brother sleeping.
- The first chapter says that A History of Magic was written by Adalbert Waffling, rather than Bathilda Bagshot (rectified in later editions).
- Given that Remus Lupin had a transformation sometime after Halloween but before the following weekend (the day of the Gryffindor-Hufflepuff match), the full moon would have had to be sometime in the first week of November, probably the 4th or 5th of November since he was absent from class on the Friday before the match. Since the full moon occurs every 29-30 days, by that time frame the December and January full moons would also have occurred sometime around the 3rd-5th of those months. Therefore a full moon during the Christmas Eve to Boxing day period is not possible. Yet Dumbledore explains to Trelawney that Lupin's absence from the Christmas dinner is that he is not well again, implying either a transformation or post-transformation exhaustion, especially since Snape is mentioned as having brewed his potion for him. It is not specified in the books, however, how long a werewolf might suffer ill effects from transformation, and how much variation there is between months. Therefore, he may simply be suffering pre-transformation effects and, as the Wolfsbane potion must be taken in the week preceding the full moon, then the next full moon may be as late as New Year's Eve. Notably, Snape says in the Shrieking Shack that Lupin had not taken his potion that night, but it is explained that he must drink the Wolfsbane Potion the week before transforming — not on the night itself — so missing the potion shouldn't have affected him within the space of a few hours.
- During his substituition of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Snape says,That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger, but actually it is the third time she speaks out of turn. It is possible that Snape probably made a mistake, too.
- Before Harry and Hermione go back in time, it mentions that Buckbeak is tied to a tree. But when they go back in time, Buckbeak is tied to a fence.
- When Harry is buying his books at Flourish and Blotts, it mentions that he is being served by the manager, but when Harry was staring at the book Death Omens, it says that he is being served by the assistant of the store, though it is possible that the manager was simply the assistant to the shop owner.
- In June, Fred and George Weasley find out they have scraped "a few O.W.L.s apiece." However, in subsequent books, it is firmly established that O.W.L. results are sent home by owl and are not received until August. Yet it is possible that they sneaked into an office and retrieved the information of their results or were assuming that they got low marks.
- Mr. Weasley says that Ron and Harry have ended up in the Forbidden Forest twice, but only Harry has been in the forest twice. Ron went once to see Aragog with Harry in the 1992-1993 school year, but the other time Harry went was for detention in the 1991-1992 school year, and Ron was not there (he was in the film but not in the book). This is most likely a mistake on Mr. Weasley's part rather than the author's.
- Chapter sixteen ("Professor Trelawney's Prediction") takes place in June 1994. In the beginning of that chapter, Harry Potter reads a note from Hagrid and says, "Buckbeak's appeal — it's set for the sixth." The night after the Hippogriff's appeal, Remus Lupin is forced into a werewolf form by the full moon, which means that this happened on the night of June 6th, 1994. The web page HP-Lexicon.org also backs this up. However, a brief look at lunar phase calendar sites such as 1994 and lunar phases in 1994 definitely shows June 9, 1994, as a new-moon night, which means that a full moon could not possibly rise three days earlier.
- On the American version of the cover, the front art is the night that Harry and Hermione save Sirius and Buckbeak. However on the back side of the cover (Lupin appears as a werewolf), the moon is a crescent when it should be a full moon.
- The cover of the Scholastic edition depicts Harry and Hermione riding Buckbeak. Harry's legs are shown to be in front of Buckbeak's wings. However, when Harry was in Care of Magical Creatures and rode Buckbeak for the first time, Hagrid had told him to sit behind the wing joint (as he did in the movie). However, it could be because Hermione is sitting behind him.
- Sirius Black says that Voldemort has been in hiding for fifteen years. He has actually been in hiding for twelve years (almost thirteen at the time that he says it) — about the same amount of time since Black was imprisoned. Voldemort went into hiding right after he was ripped from his body after failing to kill Harry. Of course, Black could just be rounding off to an approximated number (fifteen years), but this seems unlikely since he keeps talking about being in Azkaban for twelve years, being that the two time frames are almost exactly the same. Sirius also says to Pettigrew, "You haven't been hiding from me for twelve years, you've been hiding from Voldemort's old supporters." Voldemort could, however, have been hiding to escape capture and operating secretly before killing Lily and James Potter.
- In the last chapter on page 311, it says Dumblefore instead of Dumbledore (rectified in later editions).
- On the back cover it says Harry blew up his horrible Aunt Petunia instead of Aunt Marge.
- On page 379-380 of the American paperback edition, when exiting the tunnel that lead out of the Whomping Willow, it was Crookshanks, Lupin, Pettigrew, Ron, Snape, Sirius, Harry, and Hermione. Later on when Hermione used the Time-Turner (page 408), and she and Harry were watching the Whomping Willow to see themselves coming out the order changed to Lupin, Ron, Pettigrew, Hermione, the unconscious Snape, Harry, and Sirius. They could have simply missed Crookshanks exiting, though there is no explanation for the change in order of the visible humans.
- Sybill Trelawney told Lavender Brown that the worst thing for her would come true on Friday, October 16th. However, October 16th, 1993, was a Saturday. This isn't a mistake, Trelawney rarely makes true prophecies, and is known to be a bit of a drinker; she may simply have been drunk and forgotten the date, or better yet, was making up the idea to merely scare Lavender. It is a mistake because they had lessons the day Lavender found she'd lost her rabbit.
- When Harry gets back into the Gryffindor common room shortly before the Gryffindor-Ravenclaw match with his Firebolt given back to him after being tested for jinxes, the common room admires the broom. An unidentified Gryffindor tells Harry, "Ravenclaw'll have no chance, they're all on Cleansweep Sevens!" However, later in the book, Oliver Wood tells Harry that Cho Chang, the Ravenclaw Seeker, rides a Comet Two Sixty. It is possible, however, that the unidentified Gryffindor who told Harry this probably doesn't know much about the Ravenclaw Quidditch team or meant that most, not all, of the Ravenclaws ride Cleansweep Sevens.
- On page 101 of the American hardcover edition, Sybill Trelawney's name is misspelled as 'Sibyll'.
- In Chapter 15 ("The Quidditch Final") when Katie Bell is taking her second penalty shot at the Slytherin vs. Gryffindor match, it says she put it past the Slytherin Seeker. The Seeker in Quidditch is the one who chases the Snitch, which, in the case of Slytherin, would be Draco Malfoy.
- On page 261 of the e-book edition, Dumbledore is speaking to Harry and Hermione and tells them, "There is not a shred of proof to support Black's story, except your word – and the word of two thirteen-year-old wizards will not convince anybody," but Hermione's birthday is in September, so she's 14 years old at this point. This is probably a mistake on Dumbledore's part; with hundreds of pupils to look after, he can't be expected to know all the personal details of every single one.
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- In the book's opening chapter, there are repeated references to a planned murder, with lines such as "... one more death and our path to Harry Potter is clear" and "One more murder… my faithful servant at Hogwarts…" Yet, there is no indication that anyone else is murdered that was part of this plan. Bertha Jorkins was already dead, Frank Bryce was only a victim of circumstance, and Barty Crouch was originally kept alive and only killed because he had escaped and become a liability. Voldemort's original plan may have been to kill Crouch Sr., and he was subsequently convinced otherwise by Wormtail or Crouch Jr., though if so, nothing was ever explained. Another possibility is that it was Moody that was originally supposed to be killed, and the magical trunk presented an unexpected opportunity.
- When Harry is asking for his uncle's permission to go to the Quidditch World Cup and is describing Molly Weasley, he remembers that "nobody ever mentioned the name of [his] school [i.e. Hogwarts] in the Dursley household," but Harry himself did refer to Hogwarts by name nearly three years ago when he was asking for his uncle for a ride to King's Cross where the Hogwarts Express boards. It was first mentioned, however, in the second book that Harry was forbidden to say any words related to magic while staying at the Dursley household, so it is possible that the Dursleys did not enforce this rule before then.
- In "Back to the Burrow," Mr. Weasley puts a pinch of Floo Powder into the fire for their group to return to the Burrow, but in book 2 everyone has to use Floo Powder individually to travel.
- Toward the end of the book when Voldemort puts the Imperius Curse on Harry, the book says "for the third time in his life," but toward the middle of the book it states Harry had the Imperius Curse put on him four times by Moody (Crouch, Jr.). This, however, may have been a reference to the number of occasions and situations on which it was used rather than the exact number of times the curse was placed on him.
- Harry's fourteenth birthday is on July 31, 1994, but in his letter to Sirius at the beginning of the book he mentions that his cousin Dudley got really angry and chucked his PlayStation out of the window. The PlayStation was not released in Europe until September 29, 1995. It could not have been imported either because the PlayStation was not released in Japan until December 3, 1994. However, it is possible that the Dursleys had signed up to be product tester, which would mean that they would receive the product (in this case, a PlayStation and a couple games) months before the product was released. It is also possible that Harry, due to his lack of interest in the materialism of the Dursleys, had confused the PlayStation with a similar console.
- In what is now known as the "Wand Order Mistake," when Harry and Lord Voldemort's wands engage in Priori Incantatem while in the graveyard, James Potter exits the wand before Lily Potter. It has always been said that James died first as he was trying to give Lily and Harry time to flee, and since victims of Lord Voldemort were exiting the wand in reverse order of being killed, it was thought to have been a clue from J.K. Rowling. Rowling later said that "late night writer's fatigue" was the reason, and the error has been fixed in later editions.
- During the meeting between Fudge, Dumbledore, and Moody, Fudge is mistakenly referred to as both "Crouch" and also as his first name, "Cornelius."
- In the European and Canadian versions of the book, Snape shouts, "Ten points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett! And ten points from Ravenclaw too, Stebbins!" Really, Fawcett is in Ravenclaw, and Stebbins is in Hufflepuff. It may, of course, be that Snape, angry as he was, mixed up the two students' affiliation to the houses. The American version corrects this error, but in a deleted scene from the film, included in the uncut DVD, Fawcett is again the Hufflepuff and Stebbins the Ravenclaw.
- In Quidditch Through the Ages, it says that the first ever World Cup was in 1473, with a match being held every 4 years. Yet, the World Cup in 1994 is number 422. There cannot be 422 world cups in 521 years with a four-year gap in between. The period of years in between Quidditch matches in 1473 may have been slightly different, or the years may have been counted differently.
- Before the third task starts, Molly Weasley reminisces about the gamekeeper before Hagrid, named Ogg, but in other books, it is implied that Hagrid has held that post since his expulsion from school in 1943. Since Hagrid's years as gamekeeper appear to overlap Molly's years at school, it seems unlikely that she knew a previous one. It is possible that Hagrid simply started off as Ogg's assistant since he was still very young when he was expelled from Hogwarts since Hagrid himself states so in the first book.
- When Fred and George bet on the Quidditch match with Bagman, it says Fred put the paper with their wages in his robes, but Fred was wearing Muggle clothing.
- Barty Crouch Sr. mentions that his son got twelve O.W.L.s. Once again, this is inconsistent with the time-table clashes from Prisoner of Azkaban. However, given Crouch Sr.'s damaged state of mind, he could have just been rambling insanely. Either that or with his position in the Ministry, it is possible that he obtained a Time-Turner for his son. Another possibility is that it is not necessary to take a class in order to sit an O.W.L. This is logical since Remus Lupin mentions in Deathly Hallows that until Voldemort took over the Ministry, parents were allowed to educate their children at home, though virtually all British magical children attended Hogwarts. These students would presumably need the credentials given by an O.W.L. or an N.E.W.T. in order to obtain employment in many occupations. It is thus possible that a highly motivated student may be able to do "independent study" to achieve an O.W.L. or that a student was already so familiar with the Muggle world, for example, that they could easily pass an O.W.L. in Muggle Studies without attending classes.
- In some printings, the spell to revive Krum and Crouch from unconsciousness is ennervate. The correct spelling is rennervate since ennervate would have the opposite effect (corrected in later editions).
- The notice that says classes will end a half hour early for the arrival of the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students states that October 30, 1994, is a Friday. However, it was really a Sunday.
- In the American paperback edition on page 148, Harry asks Ron if he can dump his things upstairs in his room. It then states, "'What's up Harry?' said Ron, the moment they had closed the door of the attic room behind them." In the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets American paperback edition, on page 41, Ron says "... I'm right underneath the ghoul in the attic," referring to his room. Therefore the sentence in Goblet of Fire where he closes the attic door (to his room) does not make sense because that is where the ghoul resides.
- Near the beginning of Chapter 14, Neville is assigned the task of disemboweling horned toads as punishment from Professor Snape. When Hermione teaches him the Scouring Charm to remove the filth from under his fingernails, they're referred to as "frog guts." However, the horned toad is actually a species of lizard, despite the name. Since this was from Harry's point of view, however, he might not have known that fact and simply assumed the horned toad was a species of frog.
- On page 594 in the first edition of the Canadian paperback when Dumbledore is questioning Barty Crouch, it says, "'How did your father subdue you?' said Dumbledore. 'The Imperius curse,' said Moody." Crouch is mistakenly referred to as Moody in this sentence because it was after Barty Couch had already returned to his original physical state (no longer an impersonation of Moody). Crouch had already been referred to by his real name earlier on that page, and the real Moody was lying stunned at the bottom of the trunk in his office.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
- In the American paperback edition, on page 161, when talking about the old Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, Harry says, "One sacked, one dead, one's memory removed, and one locked in a trunk for nine months," referring to Lupin, Quirrell, Lockhart, and Moody respectively. However, according to the Prisoner of Azkaban American paperback edition, on page 423, Lupin did not get sacked — he resigned. However, Harry could have interpreted Lupin's resignation as forced by Snape's revelation of his lycanthropy and therefore considered it the same as a sacking. Also, Fred does not mention either of his first two Defense Against the Dark Arts teachers, though it is possible that those two simply resigned and nothing particularly bad happened to them, thus no mention.
- In Chapter 3, when the Advance Guard arrives at 4 Privet Drive to take Harry to 12 Grimmauld Place, Harry is already in trouble for casting a Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle. Yet, Tonks casts several spells (Lumos, a packing spell, Scourgify, Locomotor Trunk) and Moody casts a Disillusionment Charm on Harry while they are still at 4 Privet Drive. Lupin had clearly stated that they were not using the Floo Network because they were being watched (by the Ministry), so of course the Ministry was not aware of any Wizards that are allowed to do magic nside Harry's house. If the Ministry can detect magic, and Harry is the only known wizard in Little Whinging, then he should have either had another owl sent from the Improper Use of Magic Office or the uses of those spells should have been brought up at some point during his trial. Possible explanations include the fact that there were no Muggles present at the time, or that unlike Dobby, magic used by registered wizards does not activate the Trace.
- Sirius Black told Harry Potter that Bellatrix ran in the same crowd as Severus Snape while at Hogwarts, but her date of birth makes this impossible. Bellatrix would have attended Hogwarts from 1962 to 1969, or possibly 1963 to 1970, depending on which month in 1951 she was born in, whereas Snape began his schooling in 1971. This may simply be an error since J. K. Rowling has admitted that math is not her strong suit. Another possible explanation could be that both Bellatrix and Snape went around with the same type of people, some of whom may have overlapped depending on age.
- Ginny Weasley's birthday is on the 11th of August — the day before Harry's trial. The day before the trial is mentioned, but Ginny's birthday is not.
- During Harry's hearing, Cornelius said that he blew up his aunt three years ago. However, the incident when Harry inflated Marjorie Dursley occurred almost exactly two years previously.
- In Chapter 9, Ron's prefect badge is described as scarlet and gold. Page 162 of the American paperback edition states, "A large P was superimposed on the Gryffindor lion. He had seen a badge just like this on Percy's chest on his very first day at Hogwarts." However, Percy's badge in Philosopher's Stone is described as silver with a P on it (later editions of the first book are fixed).
- In Chapter 9, Mrs. Weasley says that everyone in the family has been a prefect, but Charlie was a Quidditch Captain. It is possible that she was including Charlie since Hermione says in the sixth book that Quidditch Captains have equal status with prefects. It is also possible that Charlie was a prefect in addition to being Quidditch Captain.
- During the meeting in the Hog's Head, Dennis Creevey shows up for the meeting. However, in Harry's fifth year, Dennis would only be a second year, and therefore would not be able to visit Hogsmeade. He could, however, have sneaked out of the school with his brother.
- After Harry has seen his father bully Snape in a memory, he remembers Professor McGonagall saying that James and Sirius were troublemakers at school but no more so than the Weasley twins. This is incorrect. She said in Prisoner of Azkaban that she had no memory of anyone else being so troublesome, and Hagrid said Fred and George could have given them a run for their money. One possible explanation is that McGonagall's earlier statement was a hyperbole. Regardless, it was still not her who said that they were like Fred and George. (It actually just states in the book that Harry imagined them as precursors of Fred and George, so McGonagall didn't really imply it.)
- In Chapter 30 of the American hardcover edition, Harry and Hermione find seats in the topmost row at the Quidditch match, but when Hagrid comes to tell them about Grawp, he squeezes his way through the row behind them. If Harry and Hermione are in the topmost row, there cannot be a row behind them (corrected in later editions).
- It states that after watching Ginny play, it was Harry's first time watching Quidditch in the stands. He could have missed all the various matches that didn't include Gryffindor, however.
- In Chapter 31, "O.W.L.s," it is stated that the practical Astronomy O.W.L. began at 11:00 pm, and Harry observed Venus one hour later (12:00 am). However, Venus can only be observed shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset;[2] it can never be seen at midnight. Harry was also filling in his star chart with the stars in the constellation of Orion. However, Orion would have set before 11:00pm on that date.[3] Also, Hogwarts is somewhere in the Highlands of Scotland (according to the movie of Prisoner of Azkaban, it's near Dufftown in Moray); at that latitude, in the two months either side of June 21, the sky never gets completely dark. There is at least one website showing that sunset on the day of the examination would be about 11pm — the time the examination is supposed to start. It would be unlikely to be dark enough to observe any but the brightest stars.
- During the Ordinary Wizarding Level examinations, Hannah Abbott was doing her Transfiguration practical at the same time as Harry Potter. This is odd since the examinations are done by surname, meaning that Hannah should have finished a while ago, unless she was a rather incompetent student, or unless she had a fit of anxiety in the middle of the examination and had to be calmed, which could take time, and then resume the exam when Harry started his.
- In an error unique to the US audiobook editions of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, when Harry first arrives at 12 Grimmauld Place following his vision of the attack on Arthur Weasley, the line "Back again, the blood-traitor brats! Is it true their father's dying?" is rendered in the loud, screechy voice of Sirius Black's mother. Based on context clues, however, particularly the fact that this line is immediately followed by Sirius shouting, "Out!" and Kreacher shuffling out of the room, it seems clear that it was actually Kreacher that uttered the insults — not Mrs. Black.
- When Snape calls Voldemort "the Dark Lord," Harry makes an accusatory statement, claiming to have only heard the Death Eaters call him that, but in Prisoner of Azkban, Professor Trelawney, who has never been suspected of being a Death Eater, called him that. However, Trelawney's use of the title "the Dark Lord" was used largely for poetic effect rather than out of loyalty. Furthermore, Trelawney was in an altered state of mind when she referred to Voldemort as "the Dark Lord." Even earlier, in Chamber of Secrets, Ginny Weasley wrote a poem that referred to Voldemort as "the Dark Lord." It is possible that Harry forgot these examples due to his anger at Snape.
- In the UK paperback Celebratory edition, in Chapter 35 ("Beyond the Veil"), the first line of the sentence which runs from page 710 to 711 is repeated, first on the bottom of page 710 and again at the top of page 711. The line reads, "Harry saw the look of mingled fear and surprise on his god-".
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
- On page 101 of the earliest printings, and in the original audiobook editions of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Ron mentions that Hermione got ten Outstandings and one Exceeds Expectations for Defense Against the Dark Arts, giving her a total of eleven O.W.L.s. However, since she dropped both Divination and Muggle Studies in her third year, she could not possibly have got eleven O.W.L.s since she was only doing ten subjects — Transfiguration, Charms, Herbology, Potions, Defense Against the Dark Arts, History of Magic, Astronomy, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, and Ancient Runes. This error was corrected in all later releases, in which Ron instead says nine Outstandings and one Exceeds Expectations.
- Harry's sixteenth birthday happens on July 31st, 1996. Looking at any full moon calendar, in that year the full moon was on July 30th. Remus Lupin was recovering from the after effects of his werewolf transformation and it is therefore difficult for him to go to birthday parties. It is said, though, that he was looking "gaunt and grim," so he might have transformed the night before. At Christmas, however, it is stated that Remus Lupin comes over to the Burrow and even uses Bill's bedroom. December 24, 1996, is the exact date of a full moon and, since Lupin was already living with the werewolves, there was little chance he could get the seven days worth of doses of Wolfsbane potion required to make him harmless. Therefore, on that night he would have been a dangerous transformed werewolf.
- In the chapter titled "The Secret Riddle," it says, "... Dumbledore entered the room... It was a small bare room with nothing in it except an old wardrobe and an iron bedstead." A couple paragraphs later, "Dumbledore drew up the hard wooden chair beside Riddle, so that the pair of them looked rather like a hospital patient and visitor." This may have been a pun, since with Dumbledore especially, the term "draw up a chair" is used literally several times when Dumbledore magically conjures a chair by drawing it. This may have been a covert way of implying this, especially considering Riddle may have missed this action by Dumbledore.
- On page 342 of the American version, there is a punctuation error when Molly Weasley says "Have a little purkey, or some tooding...I mean-" to Rufus Scrimgeour. There are no quotation marks in front of the "have" in the statement. This mistake is corrected in later printings.
- In "Snape Victorious," Snape deducts 50 points from Gryffindor so that they're in the negative, but at the end of Book 5 Snape can't deduct points since Gryffindor doesn't have any. An explanation of this is that on the latter occasion, Snape says, "We'll just have to..." before Professor McGonagall appears and adds more points. It is possible that Snape was about to put the Gryffindor points into negative figures.
- At the start of term feast, Dumbledore tells Quidditch hopefuls to put their names down for selection. For the Gryfindor House, at least, there had never been trials before. Katie Bell also warns Harry against just "picking the old faces," but this had automatically been the case for the five years preceeding Harry's 6th year. It is likely Wood was happy with the team for those five years, and there was no reason to hold a trial with no spots becoming vacant up until he left. This may also be a sign of Harry simply bowing to pressure since he could have chosen to allow those that were already on the team to continue playing but instead chose to take Katie's advice.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
- At the beginning of chapter two, it says that Harry cannot use magic due to not coming of age for another four days. In chapter six, days have passed since the Battle over Little Whinging, but Harry states the Trace will break in four days.
- When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are at the front door of Xenophilius Lovegood's house, Hermione says to Harry, "You better take off the Invisibility Cloak, Harry, it's you Mr. Lovegood wants to help," and he handed her his Cloak to place in the beaded bag, but after the Death Eaters arrive Hermione says, "Harry give me the Invisibility Cloak, Ron, you're going to put it on."
- When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are camping and get caught by the Snatchers, Hermione pretends she is Penelope Clearwater, apparently a Muggle-born, having been Petrified by the Serpent of Slytherin in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Furthermore, Cornelius Fudge later stated that there were "four attacks on Muggle-borns." However, since at this time the Muggle-born questioning was taking place, it would have made sense to pretend to be half-blood.
- In Chapter 23, Narcissa says that Draco "is home for his Easter holidays." In Chapter 24, the sun is described as rising at Shell Cottage in Cornwall, but shortly after this, Harry sees into Voldemort's mind at Hogsmeade, where it is "still dark, because it was so much farther north." However (in the absence of a significant longitudinal difference, as in this case), this sort of thing is only true between the Autumnal and Vernal Equinoxes; Easter occurs after the Vernal Equinox[4] (e.g. on April 12 in 1998), in the other half of the year when sunrise is earlier the further north one goes, thus it should not have been dark at Hogwarts when Harry saw into Voldemort's mind.
- When Harry, Ron, and Hermione break into the Lestrange's vault at Gringotts in Chapter 26, Hermione performs a whispered Levicorpus spell on Harry so that he can reach the Horcrux without touching the other contents of the vault. The Levicorpus spell, however, is most effective as a nonverbal spell, which Hermione ought to have been capable of given her talent.
- In Chapter 27 Harry drips dittany through the singed hole in his jeans to the angry burn beneath, but he has just got changed, so he shouldn't be wearing his singed jeans anymore.
- When Harry talks to Griphook about breaking into Gringotts, Griphook has the sword of Gryffindor in his hands. When Harry stands up to leave a few moments later, the sword is now beside Griphook's bed. Griphook obviously put the sword down to rest, and Harry took it.
- Near the end of chapter thirty, it says that the only people left in the Room of Requirement are Harry, Ginny, Mrs. Weasley, Lupin, Fred, George, Bill, and Fleur, but on the next page Percy (who had recently entered the room) apologizes to Mr. Weasley, but Mr. Weasley had left the room along with all the other people.
- When Harry is viewing Snape's memories, he witnesses a scene on Platform 9¾ between his mother and Aunt Petunia, in which Petunia tugs her hand out of Lily's grasp. Her hand is then back in Lily's, and she tugs it out again. Similarly, if Petunia had been on Platform 9¾ before, she should have known where it was and been able to tell Vernon, though given her nature, it is very likely that she simply chose not to out of spite.
- In "The Prince's Tale," we see Dumbledore asking Snape to cast a Confundus Charm on Mundungus Fletcher, but since Voldemort took over the Ministry after the chase, Snape shouldn't have been able to enter Hogwarts and go to the Headmaster's office. Unless Dumbledore showed him a way to enter unnoticed, had allowed him access, or something similar.
- When Harry, Ron, and Hermione leave the Great Hall after the Battle of Hogwarts ends, Harry is under his Invisibility Cloak and remains under it when they reach the Headmaster's office. When Harry raises his arms to silence the headmaster and headmistress portraits, he is suddenly visible to everyone, but there is never any mention of him taking the Cloak off.
- In the seventh book, there was a typo of "Dumblefore" instead of "Dumbledore."

On Thursday a Kiswahili daily published a photograph showing, among other passengers, US Ambassador to Tanzania, Alfonso E. Lenhardt, who had been stuck in an elevator at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals for 20 minutes. Pole sana, Ambassador.
According to press reports, Ambassador Lenhardt (a retired Major General in the US Army) was going to the ministry to meet with the newly appointed minister for Energy and Minerals, renowned and acclaimed international scholar in geological sciences, Prof. Sospeter Muhongo.
The Kiswahili paper, whose reporter witnessed the envoy's ordeal, reported that following a successful rescue mission from the trapped elevator, the minister finally met with his visitor and apologized for the mishap. However, the press report charged that the minister also pointed out – in a light touch though – that what the ambassador had encountered in the lift was simply a stark reminder of the severity of energy problems in Tanzania.
Ironically, while the US ambassador was getting stuck in our local elevator, President Jakaya Kikwete was probably flying smoothly to the United States of America to join 'privileged' three other African heads of state invited by President Barack Obama to attend the G8 Summit at Camp David over the weekend. The topic? Food security in Africa!
Sadly, while we, as a country, had failed to assure the ambassador of the world's super power a smooth and secure ride to just about five levels of a building, the US has in the last six decades been working hard to ensure a smooth and secure ride of man (and woman) to the moon, outer space and other unthinkable places.
Yet what General Lenhardt encountered in this country on Wednesday is just a tip of the iceberg. There are many buildings in this part of the world with elevators that function by the grace of God. Before passengers embark on an upward or downward flight using an elevator in most buildings they have to say their prayers first.
The last time I checked, a politician who later became a Member of Parliament for a constituency in Kigoma, David Kafulila, survived a ten-storey plunge into a black hole of an elevator that had miraculously vanished. Kafulila lived to tell his story which, unfortunately in this part of the world, gets forgotten within 24 hours - hence promoting conditions for the recurrence of the same tragedies.
In fact, a clearly thought-out advice to Ambassador Lenhardt and others who would care to listen is that next time they have a choice between an elevator and a stairway they should choose the latter. The reporter who witnessed the elevator incident on Wednesday wrote that after the rescue the ambassador and the other passengers preferred to walk up the stairs.
And this brings this column to some soul-searching questions. The visit of the ambassador to the Ministry of Energy and Minerals was, reportedly, meant to provide an opportunity for some rapport between the envoy and the new minister. It was further reported that even in the discussions between the two parties emphasis was on future cooperation in addressing chronic energy problems.
It is not a secret that the US has been one of the leading donors to Tanzania and its bilateral aid has increased considerably in recent years. It is reported that this year alone President Obama has requested even more aid for Tanzania than the country has received in the past.
Yet there appears to be a problem with aid in general, not only from Dambisa Moyo's perspective – that aid doesn't work - but also from Albert Einstein's perspective that 'doing the same thing, the same way, over and over again and expecting different results, is insanity'.
To use the elevator metaphor; when the US ambassador and the other passengers got rescued from a trapped lift, they tried an alternative: they walked up the stairs. That, to me, appears to be common sense. Going back into the same elevator could not have made sense for passengers who had been stuck there for 20 minutes.
Again, although Ambassador Leinhardt and his fellow passengers were stuck in the fateful lift for only 20 minutes, Tanzania – and its fellow passengers on the continent – have been stuck in the elevator of underdevelopment and aid dependency for over 20 decades. It is only natural, logical and intelligent for this country, and fellow passengers in the trapped elevator of underdevelopment, to try an alternative way up.
It is the hope of every patriotic citizen that the new strategy for addressing the energy crisis in Tanzania, which Ambassador Leinhardt presented to Professor Muhongo on Wednesday, is an alternative stairway to conditions which continue to hold this country, and its fellow passengers, in a trapped elevator forever.

Wondering how you could end up on an all-expenses-paid trip to The Walking Dead's filming set? Read on, we'll tell you. But if you win, you better be equipped with some The Walking Dead costumes.
Season three of The Walking Dead returns on October 14, just in time to satiate one's pre-Halloween zombie desires. Fans of the original comic will be relieved to know that finally finally the television show has made its way to the iconic prison, where character Michonne and The Governor are expected to join the story.
However, even though the third season has yet to hit mainstream television, AMC has announced that fans can expect a fourth season to follow, with an unannounced release date.
As promoted on the official The Walking Dead website, AMC joined forces with the American Red Cross, creating an event titled The American Red Cross Zombie Blood Drive. The event claims that giving blood can help save lives during the zombie apocalypse. (A na¯ve statement, as giving blood could increase exposure to the zombie infection, e.g. a pre-outbreak infected individual gives blood, thus passing on the infection to someone who has not received a bite, causing the unbitten to become a zombie. Panic and hysteria ensues.)
Regardless, while giving blood is a great cause, it is clear that AMC's intentions are not merely to have the mass public suddenly feel overwhelmed with generosity for giving blood to strangers. No, this public media attention grab also serves to showcase their The Walking Dead sweepstakes, which is free and open to everyone over age 21, even those individuals unwilling to donate blood.
The sweepstakes offers one lucky fan a chance to win a grand prize opportunity for a three day/two night trip to The Walking Dead fourth season filming set. The trip includes round-trip airfare for two yes, two people, hotel accommodations, ground transportation to and from the filming set, ground transportation around the city located near the filming set, and $500 spending money.
Not bad. But you better hurry to enter, the sweepstakes ends October 24. Click here to enter the sweepstakes.
