If you're into spotting inconsistencies, have I got the site for you!  
www.movie-mistakes.com has spotted the two issues above (yes, it WAS a 
different staff, and they provide the details, LOL!) and dozens of others.

Here's their list of about 50 HP movie inconsistencies.  Note that they DON"T 
entertain comparisons between movies and their original books.  Too bad they're 
not currently accepting corrections of their corrections, since some of their 
"errors" clearly are not.  For instance, when Percy is leading the first-years up 
to the common room, they claim that he should be leading ALL the Gryffindors, 
and so they see an error in the discrepancy between the number of kids he's 
leading and the total number seated at the Gryffindor table.  On the other hand, 
I've always wondered what all the older Gryffindors DID do during that interval!
