In Book 5, Chapter 30 ("Grawp"), pages 683 and 684, at the Gryffindor/Ravenclaw Quidditch match, it says: "They [Harry & Hermione] found seats in the topmost row of the stands." Later on, when Hagrid comes to take them to see Grawp, it says: "Apparently he [Hagrid] had squeezed his way all along the row behind." How can that be if Harry and Hermione were in the top row?
In Order of the Phoenix, page 340, it says "but Harry pulled out his Charms books and set to work on finishing his essay..." However, the excerpts from the Charms book have nothing to do with Charms - they sound like potion ingredients: "Therefore much used in Confusing and Befuddlement Droughts..." Then, after his conversation with Dobby on page 342, "He (Harry) bent and picked up his Potions book. He'd have to try and finish the essay tomorrow." It appears that Harry's Charms essay magically transformed into a Potions essay.
In OOTP, on pages 198-199, it says: "The horse was there in front of him, gleaming solidly in the dim light issuing from the station windows behind them, vapor rising from its nostrils in the chilly night air." Before this line, Harry tells Ron that he can see the skeletal horses and Ron can't see them. However, even if Ron couldn't see the horses, he should have been able to see the vapor rising from nowhere.
On page 1, Harry is lying in his Aunt's hydrangea bush, but on page 7 he recalls that "someone magical had been near him as he lay among Aunt Petunia's dying begonias..."
On page 166, Chapter 9, "The Woes of Mrs. Weasley," it says: "He pretended to be rummaging for something while Hermione crossed to the wardrobe and called Hedwig down. A few moments passed; Harry heard the door close but remained bent double, listening... He straightened up and looked behind him. Hermione and Hedwig had gone. Harry hurried across the room, closed the door..." But Harry had already heard the door close.

Both plants could have been present.
Not sure about the others, I'll have a look in my books later. _________________

hhmmm . . . I never noticed that before, but I checked my book and that is exactly what it says.

In my book, it says potion rather than charms. Mine is the special edition American book, though. I need to get regular edition one . . .
This part also happens to be on pg 383 of my book. So this may very well be a mistake in your book.

I don't know . . . If it was a cold days, then there is a good chance that there is a lot of vapor in the air to begin with. Maybe it was only a slight amount, and harry saw it because he happened to look into the faces of the horses. I think it would be an easy thing for even Hermione to miss in the excitement and commotion that pursues when they are all getting their going to the train to the carriages.

Harry wasn't actually alone in the garden, but it appeared that he was. HArry later find out that Mundungus was the one who had been in the garden. I think that reaon that she said he was alone was because this is told from Harry's p-o-v. As far as he knew, he was the only one out there. It wasn't until he heard the crack of Mundungus disapparating that he realized her wasn't alone. I'm positive that this one was not a mistake, but a way of setting us up for the element of surprise.

lol . . . maybe Peeves opened it again and she didn't write it in. This one also seems like a mistake. I never find these things, myself. I am not at all perceptive. _________________ What luck for ruler that men do not think. ~ AH

huh? the mistake is that he was lying among the hydrangea bush, and then seeming to be lying among begonias later. -_-

lol, whoops
My book says that he hid himself behind a hydrangea bush. The begonias very well coul dhave been behind the hydrangea bush. _________________ What luck for ruler that men do not think. ~ AH

I'm currently reading a newer paperback copy of this book, and I noticed last night that they fixed this mistake. They changed it to the second to the last row. I just thought that every one might want to know that.

I checked this bit in my book just now, and they changed this part as well. Harry's went straight to the bed after he looked behind himself. _________________ What luck for ruler that men do not think. ~ AH

I think, they grabbed a seat in the "Second top most row."
