Mistakes in the Warriors Series/The New Prophecy

===Midnight===
*On the original cover, Brambleclaw is shown on the cover with green eyes, even though he has amber eyes.
*Rowanclaw is mistakenly listed as a she-cat in the allegiances. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*The book repeatedly states that four seasons have passed since the events in The Darkest Hour, but this is not possible, as The Darkest Hour took place in leaf-bare, while Midnight starts off in greenleaf; the delay is rather six seasons.
*The book hinges on the warriors misinterpreting a prophecy involving "midnight". However, the word "midnight" would be foreign to the warriors, as several texts explains that they use the word "moonhigh"
*Graystripe is mistakenly said to have amber eyes.
*Feathertail is mistakenly mentioned to have a flecked gray pelt.
**In the reprint, it is changed to say she has a light gray pelt, which is also a mistake.
*While Mistyfoot is talking to Leafpaw and Sorreltail about the disappearance of the four cats, she tells them that Feathertail and Stormfur had always undergone scrutiny about having a father in RiverClan, yet Feathertail and Stormfur's father was actually ThunderClan, and their mother was RiverClan. This is later fixed in the reprint.
===Moonrise===
*The allegiances contain many mistakes, including the absence of the Tribe of Rushing Water, Rowanclaw's gender again being female, and Sorreltail being listed as Sorrelpaw, despite earning her warrior name in the previous book. These issues are resolved in the reprint, save for the absence of the Tribe from the allegiances.
*Purdy exclaims "Great StarClan!" but it is established in Midnight that before he meets the Clan cats he does not know of StarClan, so it is unlikely he would use this phrase.
*Stormfur is mistakenly called Stonefur.
*Tawnypelt is mistakenly said to have amber eyes, even though she has green eyes. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Brightheart is referred to as Brighteart. This is later fixed in the reprint.
===Dawn===
*Rowanclaw is once again listed as a she-cat.
*Brightheart is mistakenly described as having 'tortoiseshell-splashed fur' when she is in fact ginger-and-white.
*Leafpaw describes seeing "white and ginger fur flashing through the undergrowth"; later, this is revealed to be Sorreltail and Brackenfur, neither of whom are white and ginger (Sorreltail is tortoiseshell and white, Brackenfur is a golden-brown tabby).
*Blackstar is mistakenly mentioned with a black pelt.
*As Squirrelpaw and Sorreltail run past the abandoned camp, the description reads, "If [the monsters] weren't careful, they'd tumble right into the ravine and smash themselves to bits on Highstones". Likely it is meant to say 'Highrock' as Highstones is far away from the ThunderClan camp.
*Squirrelpaw easily opens the catch to the cage when freeing Leafpaw from the monster, but without any instruction she shouldn't know how.
*Brightheart is mistakenly said to have both eyes.
*Leafpaw mentions that only she, Firestar, Graystripe, and Cinderpelt knew about the fire and tiger prophecy, when two books previously Firestar had told Sandstorm about it. This is fixed in later versions.
*Tawnypelt is mistakenly called pale bracken-colored.
*Tawnypelt is mistakenly called Tawnypaw twice in the book, even though she has had her warrior name since Firestar's Quest.
*Firestar is mistakenly called golden and dark red.
*Crowpaw is mistakenly called a warrior when he was still an apprentice at the time.
*Crowpaw is mistakenly described as black.
*Firestar claims he and Ravenpaw have been through so much together, specifically referencing the death of Bluestar, yet Ravenpaw was not present for this.
*The description reads at one point, "[Leafpaw was] waiting for the sickening crunch of fur and bone" but only bone would make a crunching sound, while fur would not likely make much noise even if crushed.
*Smokepaw is mistakenly called a RiverClan apprentice.
===Starlight===
*Blackclaw is mistakenly called a WindClan cat. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Whitepaw is mistakenly called Whitetail. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Mudclaw is said to have been a kit in the nursery when Tallstar became leader; however, in Tallstar's Revenge, he is shown as a warrior when Tallstar goes to receive his nine lives.
*Blackstar is mistakenly referred to as Blackclaw. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*It is stated that Brambleclaw was "basking in the warmth of the pale winter sun", but the cats use the term 'leaf-bare' instead. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Mothwing is mentioned with blue eyes several times. All of these instances are fixed in the reprint, save for one.
*Squirrelflight is mistakenly called Squirrelpaw when she has already received her warrior name. This is later fixed in the reprint.
===Twilight===
*On many occasions, Mothwing is mistakenly described with blue eyes. All of these instances are fixed in the reprint, save for one.
*Birchkit is mistakenly said to have a gray pelt. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Crowfeather is mistakenly mentioned with amber eyes many times.
*Shrewpaw is mistakenly said to have died on the journey to the lake, when he died shortly before the Clans left the forest.
*Leafpool is mistakenly called Leafpaw after she had received her full medicine cat name. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Sootfur is mistakenly mentioned with black fur. The first instance of this is corrected in the reprint.
*Brackenfur is mentioned with ginger fur. This is later fixed in the reprint.
===Sunset===
*Brightheart is mistakenly mentioned with two eyes twice. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Mothwing is again said to have blue eyes. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Stormfur is mistakenly mentioned with blue eyes, twice. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Crowfeather is again mentioned with amber eyes.
*Daisy is mistakenly said to have gray-and-white fur. This is later fixed in the reprint.
*Firestar is mistakenly said to have seven lives left when he only has five.
*Tigerstar is called Tigerclaw.
*Leafpool comments on the day of the quarter moon that the medicine cats will be meeting at the Moonpool that night. However, medicine cats meet on the half moon, and in the next chapter Brambleclaw remembers that Leafpool had just paid her half-moon visit to the Moonpool.
*Stormfur is mistakenly called a warrior, even though he had been living in the Tribe of Rushing Water.
*In the audiobook narrated by MacLeod Andrews, Brambleclaw is referred to as Bramblekit.
