Yet, in the graveyard, a whole sequence of LV's spells,
going back in time, are regurgitated, and not just the AK's but the
Crucios and Wormtail's silver hand.

Venus' status as an "inferior" planet (i.e. the limits on where it
can appear in the sky due to its orbit lying inside Earth's) is a
common oversight by the astronomically ignorant -- There is a
scene in the film _Glass Bottom Boat_ where Doris Day and Rod Taylor
are looking up at the full moon, and Venus is *right next to it*!

Speaking of full moons, the other most "annoying" of Jo's celestial
boo-boos is of course the fact that the full moon in the year of the
climax of _PoA_ falls on *completely* the wrong day.
