Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - 3 corrections

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Entry In Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone we are told that James Potter (Harry's father) was made prefect when he was in Hogwarts, but in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, it is Lupin the werewolf who was made prefect. As revealed in that book, each house has one male prefect and one female in each year level, so they couldn't have both been prefects. [James was never a prefect; he was only Head Boy. According to JK Rowling, one doesn't need the former honor to hold the latter.]

Entry Chapter 6: The Journey from Platform Nine and Three Quarters it says that Harry kept to his room. and Hedwig swooped in and out of the open window. Couple of problems with this: at this stage Harry is still in his cupboard (and it is still called "his cupboard" at the beginning of the chapter, and cupboards don't have windows. [After the first letter from Hogwarts arrives, which Uncle Vernon confiscates, he and Aunt Petunia let Harry have Dudley's second bedroom.]

Entry On page 99, it mentions that Harry and his classmates have Astronomy at midnight on Wednesdays. But on page 173, it says, "Wednesday night found Hermione and Harry sitting alone in the common room, long after everyone else had gone to bed. The clock on the wall chimed midnight when the portrait hole burst open." They should have been in Astronomy at this time. [Since the date changes at midnight, it is possible that the "midnight on Wednesday" they are referring to actually occurs on what we would think of as Tuesday night. Therefore, the scene in the common room, which took place on Wednesday night proper, would have been the NEXT night.]
