Stephen Fry Couldn’t Pocket It

While recording the audiobook for "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban," British actor and narrator Stephen Fry struggled to say the phrase "he pocketed it." He asked J.K. Rowling to replace the line with different wording, but she refused. Rowling later said she kept putting the phrase into each of the next four Harry Potter books as a private joke.
