The Warriors series is incredibly long, with each book published in a relatively short span of time. As a result, mistakes often appear in the novels, the images, and in the official website devoted to the series. This article documents many of these mistakes in The New Prophecy arc.
On the original cover, Brambleclaw is shown on the cover with green eyes, even though he has amber eyes.[1]
Rowanclaw is mistakenly listed as a she-cat in the allegiances.[2] This is later fixed in the reprint.
The book repeatedly states that four seasons have passed since the events in The Darkest Hour,[3][4][5] but this is not possible, as The Darkest Hour took place in leaf-bare,[6] while Midnight starts off in greenleaf;[7] the delay is rather six seasons.[8]
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"[9]
Feathertail is mistakenly mentioned to have a flecked gray pelt.[11]
In the reprint, it is changed to say she has a light gray pelt, which is also a mistake.[source?]
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.[8] This is later fixed in the reprint.
The allegiances contain many mistakes, including the absence of the Tribe of Rushing Water,[12] Rowanclaw's gender again being female,[12] and Sorreltail being listed as Sorrelpaw,[12] despite earning her warrior name in the previous book.[13] 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.[14]
Brightheart is mistakenly described as having 'tortoiseshell-splashed fur' when she is in fact ginger-and-white.[19]
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).[20]
Blackstar is mistakenly mentioned with a black pelt.[21]
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.[22]
Squirrelpaw easily opens the catch to the cage when freeing Leafpaw from the monster, but without any instruction she shouldn't know how.[23]
Brightheart is mistakenly said to have both eyes.[24]
Firestar claims he and Ravenpaw have been through so much together, specifically referencing the death of Bluestar, yet Ravenpaw was not present for this.[34]
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.[35]
Smokepaw is mistakenly called a RiverClan apprentice.[36]
Blackclaw is mistakenly called a WindClan cat.[37] This is later fixed in the reprint.
Whitepaw is mistakenly called Whitetail.[38] This is later fixed in the reprint.
Blackstar is mistakenly referred to as Blackclaw.[39] 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.[40] This is later fixed in the reprint.
Leafpool comments on the day of the quarter moon that the medicine cats will be meeting at the Moonpool that night.[73] However, medicine cats meet on the half moon,[74] and in the next chapter Brambleclaw remembers that Leafpool had just paid her half-moon visit to the Moonpool.[75]
Stormfur is mistakenly called a warrior, even though he had been living in the Tribe of Rushing Water.[76]
In the audiobook narrated by MacLeod Andrews, Brambleclaw is referred to as Bramblekit.[77]
