I have found a mistake in Order of The Phoenix as well, it's in
Chapter 5, page 79:
Sirius says to Harry "...having to take all his snide hints that he's
out there risking his life while I'm sat on my backside..."
This shoulde either be "while I've sat on my back side" or "while I'm
sitting on my backside". 
What does everyone else think?
