You know how it was written that when Voltomort killed Harry's parents he killed James Potter then he killed Lilly Potter because she was trying to stop him from killing Harry. Well in the fourth book "Harry Potter and the goblet of fire" when Harry is in the graveyard and his and Voltomort’s wands connect and the shadows of the victims of Volomort start to come out when it gets to Harry's parents first comes James out and he tell Harry not to break contact because Lilly is coming and she wants to see Harry. and then Lilly comes out but that is WRONG!!! because Dumbledore tells Harry that they would come out from the order that they were killed most recent to the earliest but then if that were true then Lilly Potter would have come out followed by James Potter not the other way around as it is written since she was a more recent murder victim then James Potter was since Voltomort killed James Potter then he killed Lilly Potter. Did anyone else notice this?

Yes, I noticed that mistake too! I caught another one in Goblet of Fire also, I wonder if you noticed it.
On page 617 (of the US edition), Mrs. Weasley "reminisced at length about" Ogg, the gamekeeper before Hagrid. But, Hagrid was given the position right after he was expelled in his third year. Since this was over fifty years ago, Mrs. Weasley wouldn't remember another gamekeeper.
The only mistake about the forest that I can think of is (in the US version of Prisoner of Azkaban, on page 65) when Mr. Weasley is arguing with Mrs. Weasley at the Leaky Cauldron, he says, "You know what Harry and Ron are like, wandering off by themselves -- they've ended up in the Forbidden Forest twice!" But, at that point Ron had only been in the Forbidden Forest once, to see Aragog in Chamber of Secrets.

I didn't notice that! you're a keen observer. i found another mistake in the book 3(PoA). In the American version of Prisoner of Azkaban, page 72, first paragraph, it states that "Harry and Ron led the way to the end of the train, past packed compartments, to a carriage that looked quite empty. They loaded the trunks onto it, stowed Hedwig and Crookshanks in the luggage rack, then went back outside..." On page 74, it states that "Harry, Ron, and Hermione set off down the corridor, looking for an empty compartment, but all were full except for the one at the very end of the train. This one had only one occupant, a man sitting fast asleep next to the window." They had just put their belongings into an empty compartment, so they didn't need to look for another. On page 76, it states, "A faint, tinny sort of whistle was coming from somewhere. They looked all around the compartment. 'It's coming from your trunk, Harry,' said Ron, standing up and reaching into the luggage rack." Their trunks couldn't have been in that compartment as they had stowed them in another one.

In the book she comes out first and tells him that his father is on his way. In the movie I though she came out first as well but I may not have paid close enough attention.

Nah I didn't notice it when I was actually reading it. Only when someone else pointed it out... but I believe J.K. Rowling fixed it so the later copies wouldn't have that mistake.
