Regarding the Weasley's clock. It was brought to my attention by the 
kid in my house that the description of the Weasley's clock in the 
COS (American paperback pg. 34) does not match the one in GOF 
(American first edition page 151). The former describes just a clock 
on the wall with one arm and written around it is stuff like "time to 
make tea" and "time to feed the chickens" but in the latter it is 
described as a grandfather clock in the corner with 9 arms, each with 
a family member's name, and pointing to where the person may be.
It is interesting that it is this latter clock face that is used in 
the COS movie. Apparently the first version of the clock just 
evaporated. It was never referred to again. Was this a JK 
inconsistency or a different clock? Was there any previous discussion 
on this?

According to the Lexicon the clock with only one hand and no numbers 
is located in the kitchen. The grandfather clock with nine hands is 
in the living room.
