It may be no error at all. If the copyright rules are still the same as when Tolkien wrote The Lord of the Ring then the author must change some words for the American edition!!

  I understand from previous discussion on this list that there is a 
  difference between the US and UK editions in that scene. Someone 
  posted it as "an error in the US edition": the text says now there 
  were only THREE more students to be Sorted, Thomas, Dean, then 
  Turpin, Lisa, then Weasley, Ronald, then Zabini, Blaise -- which is 
  FOUR. But if Dean Thomas was not Sorted at all, that would be an 
  error in the UK edition.
