Have you ever noticed mistakes in the HP movies
Some of them are pretty obvious,but others arent really(you gotta look for them,and i mean really look for them)!
This is for people that might of noticed something,but weren't sure about it,and didnt want to check on a website(no offense)
NOTE: You might want to copy and paste these to Word to read them ^_^
So here some of them are:
Philosophers Stone
· Harry's glasses sometimes have lenses, and sometimes don't, as do Dumbledore's.
· On the train scene, the same hill as well as lake (as seen by the waves in the middle of the water) are seen multiple times
In their first potions class, Suzanne Bones is seen sitting next to Ron. However, earlier in the movie we see Suzanne Bones sorted into Hufflepuff, not Gryffindor or Slytherin, the two houses in that particular class.
Wood states that catching the Golden Snitch will win you the game. All it does is score 150 points and end the game - it does not necessarily secure a win.
Chamber of Secrets
When Harry breaks his right arm playing Quidditch, he takes great care to keep it held up as he rolls from side to side to avoid the bludger, but at one point he puts his weight on it without any apparent discomfort. In the next shot he is holding it across his stomach again.
The students are able to carry on conversations and hear instructions while wearing the earmuffs that protect them from the screams of the mandrake roots. We assume the earmuffs to be enchanted to specifically block mandrake screams, but not other sounds. Despite what "it says in the book" there is nothing in the movie to suggest that this could not be the case. (I thought there was something weird about that!)
When Harry and Ron are in the Dark Forest and the spiders begin to attack, Hagrid's dog gets in the car twice.
When the Weasleys' enchanted car has ejected them and Ron and Harry are chasing the car, you can see the hand and silhouette of the driver.
When Ron and Harry run into Prof. Lockhart's office, after they just found out that Ginny has been taken into the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart can be seen briefly in a mirror beside the door, waiting for his cue.
Prisoner of Azkaban
Interesting stuffIn the scene where Harry is given the Maruader's Map by the Weasley twins, the name "Moony" is misspelled as "Mooney". While not really a mistake, there is still an interesting connection. The film's visual effects supervisor is named Karl Mooney. The spelling was changed deliberately for the in-joke.
During the credits on the Marauder's Map watch for: Footprints that turn into paw prints; footprints that chase other footprints; cat prints that chase owl prints; extra-large footprints by Robbie Coltrane's credit; footprints that take special interest in the closing credits' creator; two pairs of footprints in a scandalous configuration in a corner turret; footprints that scurry away when the page covering them is lifted; footprints that get stuck in an alcove; footprints that walk into a room labeled "The Grindylow Lagoon," then sink; and Hogsmeade landmarks, including the Book of Monster's (sic) Repair Shop and The Stink Bomb Shop; toward the end, footprints can be seen playing hopscotch. By the listing for the song "La cumparsita" (The song Lupin plays during the Boggart scene) a set of footprints can be seen tapping one of their feet.
Professor Dumbledore seemingly stalls the executioner by saying that he needs to sign the execution order, and that he has "a very long name". In the book "Order of the Phoenix", his full name is revealed to be Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
During the scene where we first meet Buckbeak the Hippogriff, just after Ron pushes Harry forward there is a shot of the animal pooping. The CGI team believes this might be the first example of a CGI animal doing this, but the Discovery Channel miniseries "Walking with Dinosaurs" (1999) had done it first.
In the classroom scene where Lupin (David Thewlis) puts on a gramophone while the students fight a Boggart, we see a close-up of the gramophone, and on it is the word 'Thewlis'
Mistakes•
Revealing mistakes: In opening scene in Harry's bedroom, it can be seen in one shot that Harry is lying on a sheet of glass (to allow magical lighting effect) rather than on a sheet.
•
Continuity: When Dudley is watching television, he is watching "The Generation Game" (1971). We see a contestant put some headphones on, and in the next shot we see the same clip.
•
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: After the class has finished dealing with the boggart, Harry's scar appears to be on the wrong side. We are seeing his reflection in the mirror on the door of the wardrobe that holds the boggart.
•
Continuity: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are talking to Hagrid about Buckbeak's execution we see Harry get up and walk away from the rock he is sitting on. But in the next shot, Harry is sitting back down on the rock.

• Continuity: During his conversation with Fudge, Harry's arm switches position on the back of the chair.
•
Continuity: When Harry is interrogated by Professor Snape about the Marauder's Map in the darkly-lit hallway, the drawstrings on Harry's sweatshirt change position.

Also, when Lupin is talking to Harry in his classroom minutes later, the drawstrings switch from being cris-crossed to falling parallel between shots.
•
Continuity: The spot on Harry's shirt in the finale moves from a large, dark spot over his breastbone to a less distinct spot over his right ribcage.

•
Continuity: In Hagrid's hut the first time, Hermione open's the back door to leave and sticks her head out before Hagrid opens the front door to let in Dumbuldore and Fudge. When time is turned, you can clearly see that Hagrid opens the front door before Hermione opens the back door.

•
Factual errors: When the choir is singing the lines from Macbeth they sing "lizard's leg and owlet's wing". The actual line from Macbeth is "lizard's leg and howlet's wing". Of course, Shakespeare might have mis-transcribed the original spell, while the wizarding world would know the *real* version.
•
Continuity: When they're in the Shrieking Shack, Ron is pointing as he says "He's an animagus!" however, his hand then goes from pointing to holding Scabbers between shots.

However, as Hermione gets up, she pushes down on the grass they are on, and you can tell that it is separate from the rest of the grass around them.

•
Continuity: Lupin changes position between shots shortly before Harry takes his turn to fight the boggart.

•
Continuity: In the finale, when Harry passes out (the first time,) he stays conscious long enough to see the light of the patronus fade, therefore, he sees himself. When time-turned, however, he passes out before the light of the patronus fades.
•
Continuity: Harry's grip on Buckbeak when they fly early in the movie changes between shots when they pull in for a close-up.
•
Factual errors: Lightning strikes the snitch during the chase in the storm-cloud but any object within a thundercloud automatically carries the same charge as the cloud itself, ruling out a strike.
•
Crew or equipment visible: When Hermione jumps over the branch of the Whomping Willow, you can see the cables pulling her up.

Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): During the entire shrieking shack scene, Harry's head is clearly blank, lacking his scar.
