Typo in new Harry Potter

I already found a typing error in J. K. Rowling's new "Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince" (Chapter 3, p. 42):

The misty fug of his breath had left on the window...

What is a 'fug'?

Dennis86131 has a good comment on that:

You would think that as many kids love these books. They would have made sure the simple words are correct.

  • That's not a typo. The word "fug" was really meant to be used in that sentence. Definition?

  • Thanks, I didn't even know that word. But I am not sure if it is not a typo since the meaning is kind of weird if Rowling really meant 'fug':
    "His misty, stale and smelly breath had left on the window..."
