Did Anyone Spot This Mistake?

At the second to last page of the Scholastic Paperback version of CoS, it says a bit about the third book, PoA . " Harry Potter has to sneak back to his third year at Hogwarts after accidentally inflating his horrible Aunt Petunia". But how could that be. As we all know that Harry inflated his horrible Aunt Marge.

Random Facts About Books 6 & 7

The opening chapter of book 6 was originally planned for the early parts of book 1, perhaps we get a more in-depth story of what happened the night Harry's parents died.
Neither Harry or Voldemort (including Tom Riddle) are the Half-Blood Prince
By the ends of books 6 and 7 "you'll have all the back story you'll need", says JK Rowling, and a prequel will not be necessary
There will be a new Minister of Magic, no more Mr. Fudge.
We will find out what happened to Hagrid's half brother Grawp. He will be a bit more controllable in book 6.
In books 6 and 7 we will find out why Dumbledore trusts Snape.
We will find out what happened to Wormtail AKA Peter Pettigrew
More about the animosity between Snape and Sirius will be revealed in the last 2 books.
JK has said that giving away the form of Snape's boggart and patronus says too much. We'll definitely find out what Snape's worst fear is, and it'll be important.
Hermione and Draco will NOT end up together in book 6 or 7.
We will find out what exactly Dudley saw when he looked at the dementors.
The reason Voldemort and Harry both didn't die when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, will be revealed.
We will see more of Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, now that Lucius is busy.
We'll learn more about Harry's scar in the last 2 books.

Harry will tell his dearest friends about the prophecy after it sinks in to him.
We will learn more about Harry's relatives, including his grandparents (though JK says they aren't really important to the story)
During an interview, when JKR was asked in which Hogwarts room she'd like to be for 1 hour, she said it would be a room in which Harry has been before, but doesn't know its importance, Yet. (this could have happened in book 5, but we're unsure)
It's very important in the plot that Harry has his mother's eyes, and that her wand was very good for charms.
Harry's parents' profession will be a big part of the plot.
Something HUGE will be revealed about Lily Potter.

Goblets of fire!

The trailor for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is here! Here's what to do to get it.

  • Download a bittorrent client. The official client (about 3.6MB) is pretty basic, Karan recommends Azureus (6.6MB) which requires the JRE (15MB), so that's a good amount of downloading to get a trailor. I recommend Shareaza (3.3MB) which can connect to gnutella2 networks in addition to taking bittorrent links.
  • Install the client.
  • Click Here.
  • Select "run from current location"
  • Select the destination directory And Voila! The download has started!
The file is 29.7MB and is in avi format, so you'll need divX codec. Download and play!
