I'm just posting this as a "fun item", so please don't take it seriously...every movie has mistakes and it's all good. Here's a note I got from Jon Sandys, who runs the very popular moviemistakes.com (http://www.moviemistakes.com/) website:
"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 (http://www.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.
