"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.
