 Posted: July 18, 2008 2:23 pm Post subject: Little flaw? |
|
|
Hey everyone, I just reread Prisoner Of Azkaban and I noticed something strange. In 'The Dementor's Kiss' it says:
| Quote: |
| '... Lupin, Pettigrew and Ron clambered upwards without any sound of savaging branches. Sirius saw Snape up through the hole, then stood back for Harry and Hermione to pass.' |
Yet, in the next chapter, 'Hermione's Secret', their order changes:
| Quote: |
| 'They saw Lupin, Ron and Pettigrew clambering awkwardly out of the hole in the roots. Then came Hermione ... then the unconscious Snape, drifting weirdly upwards. Next came Harry and Black.' |
Could it be that when Harry and Hermione went back in time, they inadvertently changed something? Or am I reading too much in to this and is it just a small mistake, overlooked by Rowling?

I think this is just an overlooked flaw.

The wording is a little weird...
but I think it's the right order...
Okay... first time
| Quote: |
| '... Lupin, Pettigrew and Ron clambered upwards without any sound of savaging branches. Sirius saw Snape up through the hole, then stood back for Harry and Hermione to pass.' |
Lupin Pettigrew Ron
Sirius sends Snape through...
Then stands back for Harry and Hermione
Next chapter...
| Quote: |
| 'They saw Lupin, Ron and Pettigrew clambering awkwardly out of the hole in the roots. Then came Hermione ... then the unconscious Snape, drifting weirdly upwards. Next came Harry and Black.' |
Lupin, Ron, Pettigrew
Hermione
Snape
Harry and Sirius
The first part is all teh same, but the positiiion of Sirius is muddled. Did he stand back the second time, too? I think that makes all the difference.

I read it as the same. if you meant the first part was messed up...they were chained together or soemthing like that so they kind of came at once, order doesn't matter there. and I think its safe to assume that Sirius did stand back the second time...there's no reason not to.

It's just a tiny flaw if you ask me. Scan at the books and you'll find quite a few of 'em. ^__^
