those awful mistakes. Or how about some mistakes from earlier books? I
know I'd be entertained, and I know at least one other poster from
this list who would be, too. (Waves to Mila.)

sometimes you can´t catch them unless yu know what the exact words 
were in english and the ones that were obvious, well, I can´t 
remember just now were they are (which book)but I´ll post them later. on.

Carol again:

I was thinking in terms of obvious errors that result in hilarious
images like the troll in SS/PS having a head the size of a cocoa bean
(instead of a coconut) in the Chinese translation or errors that pose
problems later, like giving Scabbers a feminine name in the Russian
translation (oops!).

Carol, who thinks that the main list is taking the book's perceived
failings too seriously and is hoping for some levity here
