|
| | The picture in chapter 11 is Nearly Headless Nick. | | | Yet in the second book, American edition, page 182, the illustration clearly shows that Nick would have had to pull on the *right* ear. | | | Well, the only way you could tell he was nearly headless in the picture is if the artists put him being headless by his neck. |

But, in the second book, he's celebrating his "five-hundredth deathday." | | | Harry can't be blamed for being so surprised, as snakes don't have movable eyelids. | | | Harry asked the ghost, "Can you taste it if you walk though it?" It should say through instead of though. |

| | Resignedly, Nick explained that the chances of Sirius returning as a ghost were slim, as one has to give up the right to the afterlife to wander as a ghost, and that Nick himself made that decision out of fear of death. | | | I wonder why he was executed, and I would like to see him display some more of that characteristic Gryffindor bravery, perhaps in the war against Voldemort; it would be interesting to see what powers ghosts possess. | | | I hope we see more of Nick in future books. |
