Title: TYPO ERROR!!!
Post by: 0612 on June 23, 2005, 08:43:58 AM
Finally, after years of reading the Harry Potter books, this is the first time I've spotted a typo error made by JK Rowling, and it happens to be inside her very latest best-seller the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5)!

The error is on Page 710, Line 2 Word 5. The word should be "heard", but it's "hear" on the page! Note, though: Her books are still great! ;D

Hmm... OK. If other people log on later we can see if the typo exists in their books.

well, the sentence reads: "crashes and screams and yells surrounding them, not one word of the prophecy could be hear. The figure stopped speaking and disappeared into nothingness"

It starts from the very top of Page 710.

mine says Meanwhile Ron was reading two years of Charms notes with his fingers in his ears, his lips moving soundlessly; Semus was lying flat on his back on the floor, reciting the definition of a Substantive Cahrm, while Dean checked it. . . you get the point. . .
