T383: 跪着的人急忙从命，差一点栽倒。 （The kneeling man almost fell over in his haste to obey.）
C: [His face was pockmarked; the scars were thrown into relief by the candlelight. Omitted]
FC: {Miserable omission. First, LPH failed to mention the Death Eater had been tortured by Voldemort; second, LPH failed to tell the readers Voldemort could cure the pains as long as he wanted. In other words they didn’t mention Voldemort’s cruelty, also not his advanced magic ability}
145)
O 518: ……who were both headless and selling their magical hats from under their cloaks on the other side of the yard.
T 385: 那两个人一直没有回头，只是在那里推销他们的魔术帽。 （……both of them didn’t turn their heads, only selling their magical hats.）

147)
O 519: Harry was so angry with her he did not talk to her for the rest of the day, which proved to be another bad one. When people were not discussing the escaped Death Eaters in the corridors, they were laughing at Gryffindor's abysmal performance in their match against Hufflepuff; the Slytherins were singing Weasley is our King' so loudly and frequently that by sundown Filch had banned it from the corridors out of sheer irritation.
C: [The whole paragraph Omitted]
FC: {Such a long omission. Incredible}
148)
O 527: ……the head and torso of a man joined to the palomino body of a horse.
T 390: 人的头和四肢安在一匹淡黄褐色的马身上。 （……the head and four limbs of a man joined to the palomino body of a horse.）

C: [indecent Mistranslated]
FC: {Weakening the critisise on Umbridge, misleading readers}
152)
O 542: 'Cornelius, I do not deny - and nor, I am sure, does Harry - that he was in the Hog's Head that day, nor that he was trying to recruit students to a Defence Against the Dark Arts group.
T 401: ‘康奈利，我既没有否认，也没有肯定哈利那天是否在猪头酒吧，是否想招募学生参加黑魔法防御小组。’ （'Cornelius, I neither deny nor confirm if Harry was in the Hog's Head that day, or if he was trying to recruit students to a Defence Against the Dark Arts group.）

153)
O 542: 'Well,' said Dumbledore, surveying her with polite interest over the top of his interlocked fingers, 'they certainly would be, if they had continued after the Decree came into effect. '
T 401: ‘这个嘛，’邓布利多一边说一边从交叉在一起的手指上方既礼貌又感兴趣地打量着她，‘如果他们确实在这项法令生效后继续聚会，那他们当然有可能违法。’ （'Well,' said Dumbledore, surveying her with polite interest over the top of his interlocked fingers, 'it would certainly be possible that they did it illegally, if they continued after the Decree came into effect. '）
C: [Conjunctive Mistranslated]
FC: {Misleading readers}
154)
O 546: 'If we send a fast owl we should make the morning edition!'
T 405: ‘要是派一只速度快的猫头鹰，我们还能赶上今天早上的那一版！’ （'If we send a fast owl we should make the morning edition of today!'）
C:
[‘Today’made up by LPH. When Harry got the wind it was not yet 9pm, by this time it might be, at most, 10pm. Today’s morning edition should be published more than 10 hours back, how on earth Fudge could make this news for ‘Today’s morning edition’? Also ‘edition’ was mistranslated to ‘那一版’ (that page).]
FC: {Misleading/confusing readers}
155)
O 546: Well - it's just that you seem to be labouring under the delusion that I am going to - what is the phrase? - come quietly.
T 405: 嗯——你好像有种错觉，以为我会——那句话怎么说来着？束手待毙。 （Well - it's just that you seem to misunderstand that I am going to - what is the phrase? – to be killed without fighting.）

C:
[Time has not been changed is a big mistake in translating]
FC: {Which may make readers thinking if Dumbledore had used an instrument to change the time. Misleading readers}
157)

C: [Ginny continued to watch him thoughtfully. Omitted]
FC: {LPH really did too much this time. This sentence omitted, and a same sentence a few lines above also omitted. It seems to me LPH omitted them deliberately, otherwise how it could be so coincident that both sentences of Ginny watching Harry were omitted? Anyway it was an important hint/foreshadowing, showing there were a lot of similar things in Harry’s and Ginny’s characterisation. Therefore it was a foreshadow for their going out in Book 6.
