There are a few errors of logic I have deleted in the Potter saga, but
you have not mentioned any of them; and if truth be told none of them
bother me a great deal:

In book 1 think it would be better if Marcus Flint,the Slytherin
Quidditch Captain, were in his fifth year not his sixth, that way in
book 3 poor Marcus won't be in his 8'th year in book 3. In book 5 in
the final exam Harry is looking at Venus and Orion, but Venus can only
be seen near sunrise or sunset and this was about midnight, and Orion
is a winter constellation and it was June. And this business of Harry
having only 2 living relatives, that is mathematically imposable. Well
OK, not imposable, but astronomically unlikely. But this is just
nitpicking, in the really important stuff Rowling seems rock steady.
