We have neither found nor seen ANY listing with all these errors in it. 1. 652 instead of 672 Pages long. 2. On Page 10 the word "sight" is misspelled as "site"Should read"The sight, therefore, of Fudge stepping out of the fire once more…"But reads"The site, therefore, of Fudge stepping out of the fire once more…" 3. On Page 100, the correct phrase should be 10 instead of 11 O.W.L.s Should be written:"And when you've got your ten Outstanding O.W.L.s" but erroneously is printed in this copy as "And when you've got your eleven Outstanding O.W.L.s" 4. On Page 103, the correct words are "9 outstandings," but this is erroneously printed as "10 outstandings" Should be written as:"Yep – nine ‘Outstandings’ and one ‘Exceeds Expectations’ at Defense Against the Dark Arts.” But reads:“Yep – ten ‘Outstandings’ and one ‘Exceeds Expectations’ at Defense Against the Dark Arts.” 5. On Page 296, the words "a wooden chair" are omitted from this copy.Should read:"It was a small bare room with nothing in it except an old wardrobe, a wooden chair, and an iron bedstead. A boy was sitting on top of the gray blankets, his legs stretched out in front of him, holding a book."But reads:"It was a small bare room with nothing in it except an old wardrobe and an iron bedstead. A boy was sitting on top of the gray blankets, his legs stretched out in front of him, holding a book." 6. On Page 342 should read:"…straightening her hat. “Have a little purkey, or some tooding. " But is missing the quote mark before Have, and reads: "…straightening her hat. Have a little purkey, or some tooding." 7.On page 476, Should Read ‘Yeah, I s’pose I’d better,’ said Harry. ‘I don’t reckon I’ll need all of it, not twelve hours’ worth, it can’t take all night… ‘Yeah, I s’pose I’d better,’ said Harry. ‘I don’t reckon I’ll need all of it, not twenty-four hours’ worth, it can’t take all night… But printed with the error: 8. On Pages 591 and 592Should read:‘Come over to the right side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban…when the time comes, we can protect him too… come over to the right side, Draco…you are not a killer…’ But reads as: “He cannot kill you if you are already dead. Come over to the right side, Draco, and we can hide you more completely than you can possibly imagine. What is more, I can send members of the Order to your mother tonight to hide her likewise. Nobody would be surprised that you had died in your attempt to kill me — forgive me, but Lord Voldemort probably expects it. Nor would the Death Eaters be surprised that we had captured and killed your mother — it is what they would do themselves, after all. Your father is safe at the moment in Azkaban…when the time comes, we can protect him too. Come over to the right side, Draco…you are not a killer…” Dustjacket intact, but small tear in the dust jacked about 1/2" at top of the spine of the book, and the spine has a sticker, we did not wish to remove in case it damages the dust jacket.
