Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

This is what John has been doing for the last two days straight - except when eating, sleeping, or working.

Beware, the next paragraph may or may not give you an idea of what happens in the 3rd Harry Potter book.
If you have read the books, you'll get a kick out of his thoughts!

Our dinner conversation was great tonight. I ate while John talked between mouthfuls:

Maybe Crookshanks is Sirius Black's wife. Or if Peter Pettigrew was supposed to be dead, is Crookshanks Harry's mom? Did she have an affair with Sirius Black? Who is Lupin? And what about the map - what about what Mr. Weasley said about never trusting something if you can't see its brain? But Lupin made the map. Does that mean Lupin is bad? And who gave Harry the firestick? (I understood everything until he said this. Then I had to interrupt him and ask, "What firestick?" He corrected himself, "The firebolt, the broomstick, whatever.") And what about the hippogriff on the cover? They killed it, but the cover shows Harry and Ginny Weasley riding on it...

The fun found in Harry Potter! I have to give a big thanks to my brother Rob for giving us the first six for Christmas. We're so glad we are no longer Muggles!

Oh, in case you're wondering, it's great that John's spending all his time reading because I can't read the fourth book until he finishes the third, so we are both wanting him to sit and read, read, read...

I didn't know what the fire stick was either. Also, the fourth book is overhyped but decent. also, have you found the mistake in the third book? reread it to find it.

Jon,

I'm not sure if this is the mistake you're referring to, but I noticed the following when I read book 3: On page 380 (1st full paragraph) it says that Snape went through the hole (underneath the Whomping Willow), followed by Harry and Hermione, followed by Black. On page 408 (4th full paragraph), however, Hermione emerges BEFORE Snape, followed by Harry and Black. Is this an inconsistent oversight, or does some crazy plot twist await us in a later book?!?
