I'm not sure about rewriting the entire series, but I would like to 
see a revised edition one day, you know, with all (or at least most) 
of those inconsistencies and Flints gone.

My husband says that it's a wrong attitude, that the revised books 
wouldn't be the same, and the mistakes give them authenticity and 
charm. I doubt that I should listen to him though, because he didn't 
read HP books.

Really, it wouldn't be difficult at all, JKR doesn't even need to 
look for the mistakes herself, they are already found and discussed 
from every angle by the fans, on this list included. 

After all, they already corrected some mistakes, like the number of 
Hermione's OWLS for example. So why not change other things, starting 
with NHN's date of death, Charlie's years at Hogwarts etc.? I would 
buy the revised books, no matter what my husband thinks :-)!

No, you are not an oddball, or, if you are, so am I, because it's my 
favorite book so far :-).
