Now, don't get me wrong, I'm happy to have it, but has anyone else noticed the number of copy errors in the "Beadle" CE?

These are the ones I have found:

“Beadle” CE Errors:

P. 40 – “…survived the flames flames to which they were…”

P. 46 – “…author of the infamous Toadstood Tales…”

P. 78 – “Headmaster Prmando Dippet…”

P.P. 89/91 – “…a maiden answering his every every wish arrived…”

P. 100 – “…rewrote it for The Toadstood Tales.”

P. 134 – “…Bertrand de Pénsees-Profondes…” (accent aigu should be placed: Pensées)

P. 156 – “Tnd so Death took the second brother…”

I must say, I was surprised at the number, and a bit disappointed. Then again, I've never tried to count errors in the editions of any of the other Potter books (I just know that I've sometimes been struck by them).

Did anyone else find any further errors? Am I being unreasonable being disappointed?
