Mistakes

On page 285 (American version) a sentence states "Snap picked up Harry's Zonko bag." The correct spelling of "Snape" was corrected in the later editions of the book.

In chapter 22, on page 428 a setence states "It took a moment for Harry to realize what a person called Dumblefore had just said." The correct spelling of "Dumbledore" was corrected in the later editions of the book.

On page 175 (British version) Professor Lupin heaves a large packing case on "Professor Binn's" desk. The correct grammatical term should either be "Binns's" or "Binns'" and not "Binn's."
