JK Rowling's eagle-eyed fans have spotted a continuity error in one of the Harry Potter books that will be corrected in the next edition -- I usually just put up a wiki for readers to post this kind of thing (and typos, etc) so that I can correct it in the next edition.
The author credits Hermione Granger with 11 top exam results in the first hardback edition of book six, Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince.

But in book five – Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix – we are told she takes TEN examinations

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.
