Not as crucial, but in the same league is this error near the top of 
page 325: 

"[Madame Maxime] wasn't exactly hard to miss."

Umm... Shouldn't that be that she *was* hard to miss??

Also this one, top of p. 685: 

"How did your father subdue you?" said Dumbledore.
"The Imperius Curse," Moody said.  

But this is *Crouch* speaking!

Are these errors corrected in the later printings?
