"The new Harry Potter film has been well received by critics and 
audiences, and breaking records around the world, but it's also 
attracting attention from that less-liked area of the viewing public -
 eagle-eyed viewers. 45 mistakes have already been spotted by movie-
goers and submitted to UK film website moviemistakes.com, with more 
coming in daily. It will have a way to go to catch up with the 
original film, though, which currently has 124 mistakes listed on the 
site.

Here are a few examples of mistakes submitted by visitors to
moviemistakes.com:

In the Quidditch scene, Harry breaks his right arm, but as he sits up 
after he falls off his broom, he leans directly on it.

When Ron and Harry are escaping from the spiders in the flying car 
the passenger's side window that broke earlier hitting the willow 
tree is not broken, you can see Ron's reflection. A minute later you 
see that the window is broken again.

When we see the first defence against the dark arts class with the 
pixies taking over, when Lockhart goes out and tells Harry, Ron and 
Hermione to pop them back into the cage, Hermione makes them all 
freeze in mid-air. Most of the pixies drop bits of paper, but one 
drops a big book. You can see it go thundering down to the ground, 
but you can't hear it land. All you can hear
is bits of paper flying everywhere.

When Gilderoy jumps into the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets you 
see his cape go flowing up above his head. In a short second shot, 
taken from above, it's not.

At the beginning of the scene near the end of the movie with Lucius 
Malfoy fuming at Dumbledore in his office, Malfoy's hair is fanned 
back behind his shoulders. The lighting in the room illuminates the 
back of his neck, where you can see his real, short brown hair.

When Lockhart falls down the hole into the Chamber of Secrets, we 
hear him hit the ground a second or two later. When Ron and Harry 
jump down, not only do they take longer to get down, they also slide 
down the pipe, rather than fall straight down.
