Just noticed page 177, US version, “…another clap of thunder, followed immediately by.forked lightening”. Maybe weather works differently in Wizard World but in Muggle Land, thunder comes after the lightening.

“There’s nothing wrong with Malfoy’s arm!” said Harry furiously. “He’ faking it.”
“I know that, but we can’t prove it,” said Wood bitterly.

Why not just ask Madam Pomfrey?

yraM, that was what I initially thought too! But I realized if the dementors did, indeed, swarm the grounds that day because they were attracted to Sirius’ presence, then why did they fail to notice Sirius the night he attacked the Fat Lady’s portrait?

Dumbledore: “I am afraid no dementor will cross the threshold of this castle while I am headmaster.” No wonder he was so angry when the dementors swarmed the Quidditch field. ;)

Lastly, I want to know how Peeves entered Gryffindor Tower. He woke Harry up, didn’t he? Can he, what, pass through walls and other tangible objects like a ghost?

During the DADA lesson, Snape is going around and criticizing the students’ work. One thing he says is that the Kappa is more common in Mongolia, which is actually false. The Kappa is a Japanese water demon. If Snape is so fascinated with the Dark Arts, why does he not know much about the monsters?

An interesting note on the discrepancies of the film for this book: during this Quidditch match, a Hufflepuff player (whom I think is supposed to be Cedric) is hit by lightning whilst riding his broomstick. Not only does this not follow how the match ends up in the book, as Lizzie said, the lightning should not have struck him since he wasn’t on the ground at the time. I love pointing out how bad that movie was n_n

David Kenny, I think you answered your own question – as long as Cedric’s birthday is in September or October, he (like Angelina) would have been a sixth year eligible to put his name in the Goblet on October 30. It’s easy to forget that students who aren’t Harry turn a year older during each book, and don’t wait for the beginning of the following one. :)

In this book, Cedric Diggory is said to be in his 5th year,the same year as Fred and George and,thus,making him two years older than Harry,but in the next book,Cedric is said to be 17, making him three years older than Harry. Maybe he was simply the oldest in his year and is still only in his 6th year,like Hermione. She said so herself that her birthday was in September
