Line 155:
* [[Stephen King]]'s ''[[The Shining]]'' has a minor hole. Near the beginning, Ullman recites some of the hotel's history to Jack Torrance at length, during which he mentions that the roque court was installed by Horace Derwent in the late 1940s. Much later, Jack finds a rule book for a roque tournament held at the Overlook in the 1920s.
* In the [[Discworld]] novel ''[[Discworld/Feet of Clay|Feet of Clay]]'', Pterry introduces golems to the reader by having Angua have to explain them to Cheery, who had never seen one before. However, the final piece of the mystery was solved when Cheery offhandedly mentions that golems were so ubiquitous in the city that no one notices them, even in the Alchemist's Guild where she used to work, where they tended to get coated with the chemicals they used to handle.
* In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix]]'', Harry and Hermione take seats in the back row of the Quidditch stadium. A moment later Hagrid approaches them coming through the rows behind them.
** In ''[[Harry Potter and Thethe Chamber of Secrets (novel)|Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets]]'', Hermione deduces that {{spoiler|the Basilisk must be moving around in the pipes and that's why Harry can hear sounds from the walls}}. Fair Enough. So how does {{spoiler|the Basilisk come out of the pipes to attack its victims? Assuming it's in the drain pipes rather than in the water supply, there is no reason for a drain that big to be there in any bathroom, let alone any of the places where the attacks happened.}}
** The Marauders Map creates a huge plot hole. Somehow Fred and George Weasley fail to notice for ''two years'' that there is someone named Peter Pettigrew in their brother Ron's dorm every night...
** The ''entire plot of Harry Potter'' is born in a giant plot hole. The deaths of the Potters is the defining element of Harry's life, and yet in book 7 we are shown that its entirely possible for a resident of a house under a Fidelius charm to be their ''own'' Secret-Keeper, and thus be completely safe. Had James or Lily just used themselves as a Secret-Keeper, nothing happens.
