  My son has just pointed out to me what may be a small mistake in
Chapter 30 of Order of the Phoenix.
On page 602 it says
"They found seats in the topmost row of the stands".
On the following page it says
"Apparently he (Hagrid) had squeezed his way all along the row behind"
Not in any way important, it's just that at 13 you feel delighted to
have caught out an adult in a small mistake. Or are we mis=reading?


Amberlyn:

I noticed this same mistake in my copy.  I figure it's just a minor 
flint.  It doesn't say in the book that they moved seats at any point 
in the game.   Or maybe there are 2 rows of seats in the topmost row.  
Since Quidditch is played above ground, the necessity for tiered seats 
may be somewhat negated.
