Hello, 
I came to this group from a link at "The Harry Potter Lexicon," about 
3 days ago.  I wanted to see what others think of the 
several "mistakes" that I have found, I apologize if any of the 
below " have been previously discussed. 


In Defense against Darks arts, Harry says he had the Imperious curse 
on him four times, not counting the very first. But then later, when 
Voldemort uses it: " For the THIRD time in his life, that feeling of 
unconcern drifted over him."  
	Something is amiss here, though there is a number of mistakes 
dealing with numbers. 

In the first book Hagrid says that he won a dragons egg in the 
Hogshead, the pub in the village.  In later books the pub is called 
the Three Broomsticks, and the village is Hogsmeade.
	 I am surprised that almost no one noticed this, or am I 
clueless about something?

In the 1st book, it was said that Marcaus Flint was a sixth year, but 
he was still in Hogwarts when Harry was a third year, that would put 
him in the Eighth Year.  
	
In the first book, at the Sorting Ceremony, Nearly Headless Nick said 
that he has not eaten for almost 400 years, but in the second book, 
Nearly Headless Nick is having his 500th death day party. 
On page 13 of Book 1 Professor Dumbledore sits down beside the cat 
and says "Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall." She 
replys: "How did you know it was me?"
	This is a bit strange as she is a registered animagus.
