At the the scene with the flying keys, Harry flies his broom through the door and the keys crash into the door when the gang close it, and in the next scene Harry's walking to the chessboard. Where did the broom go? [As the kids come through the double doors into the chess room, you can see the broom leaning against the wall behind them.]
When Harry let's Hedwig fly to Hogwarts castle, the Quidditch grounds don't have stands. [The stands are probably only set up whenever there is a match. With magic, it's probably a simple task.]

When Harry let's Hedwig fly to Hogwarts castle, it's snowing there but it isn't snowing at the Quidditch Grounds. If it melted at the Quidditch Grounds then it would have melted where Harry let Hedwig fly from. [This scene was meant to show the transition from winter to spring. It starts out with Harry and Hedwig in the snow during winter and then to show time passing as sort of a space filler, she flies back during the spring.]
In the scene where Harry gets through to platform 9 3/4, there is a shot of the train. We also so Mrs. Weasley next to Ron. This is impossible because she just helped Harry get onto the platform and she let him go first, so she'd have to walk past him. [The last time we see Mrs. Weasley she is standing next to Ron watching Harry go through the wall to platform 9 3/4. We don't see her once Harry has gotten through.]
When Harry receives his Nimbus 2000 broomstick in the Great Hall, he and Ron and Hermione seem to get very excited about it and act as though they don't know what it could possibly be. It is extremely obvious what it is though, before they open it, due to the shape of the packaging. [The trio may seem to be acting as though they don't know what it could possibly be, but it's more logical to assume they're excited about what -kind/brand- of broomstick it may be. ]
Harry walks to the quidditch pitch, the bristles on his broom are neat and tidy, ending in a point. He stands next to Wood, still neat, but as soon as he mounts his broom and flies, the bristles have become played out and messy. [The bristles were neat because the broom had never been flown before. As soon as Harry starts flying, the bristles separate.]
Before Ron is knocked out by the queen when they are playing chess on the way to the Philosopher's Stone, he puts the king in check. The queen then takes him, and the king is not in check. Harry is a bishop, so he can only move diagonally. When Harry moves, he ends up in front of the king. The king cannot be in checkmate, because Harry, as a bishop, can only move diagonally, not forwards, so the king's in no danger. [Harry didn't move forwards he moved diagonally on the black squares to checkmate the King.]
At the end of the movie, when Ron is talking to Hermione at the top of the stairs before Harry enters, if you turn the volume up really loud you can hear Ron say something which isn't related to the movie and isn't really appropriate for a PG rated movie. [It wasn't inappropriate. It sounds to alot of people like he said "I had an erection" that's not what he said he said "I had a resurrection, referring to his apparent injury/death during the chess match."]
On the train to Hogwarts, Hermione tells Harry and Ron that they need to get their school clothes on, as they will arrive soon. It is daytime outside. Yet the train arrives at Hogsmeade Station when it's dark - clearly not soon after. [Hermione has never travelled on the Hogwarts Express before (to our knowledge), so she probably only estimated the amount of time left until they got to Hogwarts.]
In the scene where all of the first years are ascending the staircases to Professor McGonagal, you can see Hermione's hair towards the front of the line. Then, in another cut, it's suddenly nowhere to be seen. Then it's back again. [In the shot from above, Hermione ascends the second flight on the right side and rounds the landing on the inside. The camera shifts to behind the landing and Hermione is still near the inside, someone has just wedged between her and the railing. She reaches the top of the stairs next to Ron.]
When Hagrid visits Harry at the lighthouse he hands him his letter. For a second you can see that the address on the front of the letter has been marked using a highlighter pen, a green one as a matter of a fact. [It's not a mistake they just wanted to write the adress with green highlighter.]
In the scene when Harry is in the restricted section of the library he walks in in the dark with only a lantern. He puts the lantern down in front of himself and begins to read. If you look at the bookshelf, his shadow is cast on the other side of the lantern as though the light is behind him. [Moonlight is streaming in from the upper left, stronger than the lantern.]
In the scene where the employee is talking to Harry in the wand shop, right after he tests the third wand the employee is back-facing the camera. If you look out the window in the background a guy walks down the street with a camera. [There's someone with a large object on his shoulder, no doubt, but the picture is too blurry to identify it. Moreover, the mystery object is brightly colored in parts, decidedly unlike a camera.]
In the sea hut before Hagrid bursts through the door, from some angles Harry has a reddish blanket covering him from the waist down. From other angles the blanket covers Dudley on the couch and Harry is lying on the floor uncovered (except for his clothes, of course). [That's his pants, evidenced by the waist, which are a bit large for him and drape somewhat. Dudley's blanket is patterned, though it's difficult to see in one or two shots.]
In the scene where Harry borrows Ron's copy of the Daily Prophet, Harry reads the article out loud. He says, "...the vault in question, number 713...". However, if you look closely at the article, it doesn't give a number, and the number on the photograph isn't visible. [I zoomed in on the Daily Prophet and had a look, and it does actually show the vault number, it is a few lines down and next to the photo, it's a bit blurry but legible.]
In the scene where Harry and Ron are eating the sweets on the train, if possible, turn on the subtitles. Harry picks up a Chocolate Frog and opens it. The frog jumps out and Ron says that it's the cards you want. Harry pulls out a card with Dumbledore on it. At this point read the subtitles. Ron says "I've got Dumbledore." Then "I've got 'bout 200 meself." Think hard. Ron said Harry's line. Harry was supposed to say "I've got Dumbledore." [I actually watched the movie to check this out and after turning up the volume and listening very closely it is Harry that says the line, he is however using a higher then normal voice, we all do when we are surprised.]
When Hermione is spotting Snape putting a spell on Harry's broom stick during the Quidditch match, she is using binoculars in order to see Snape, which suggests he is seated very far away from her and Ron (on the other side of the stadium). However, as she runs off to Snape to stop him, it literally takes her only a few seconds to get all the way around this massive stadium and up to where Snape is sitting along with the other teachers. [It is a time lapse. Does the audience really want to see her walking down a hundred steps, walking across the grass, etc. It isn't necessary to see every moment, the audience can logically assume this is done off camera.]
In the flying practice scene, after Malfoy gets hold of Neville's rememberall, he flies up with his broom and, after dialogue with Harry, he throws the globe away. Harry, after flying at least twenty metres after it, catches the globe in front of McGonagall's window, which is at least on the eighth floor of a tower. When Harry flies back to the others and lands, McGonagall almost instantly comes up behind him. Now wasn't that a bit too fast? She can't have apparated, as no-one can do that on Hogwarts grounds. [There are many secret passages in Hogwarts, and as a teacher McGonagall should know most ,if not all, of them.]
On the inside of the UK DVD case, there is a still of "Harry" on top of the troll. However, they have taken a still shot of the stunt double, who looks nothing whatsoever like Daniel Radcliffe. [They computer generated him. It couldn't be a human, let alone Dan's stunt double.]
During the climax, when Harry finds Quirrel, there is a shot in which Harry turns to run up some stairs. The fire bursts out blocking his way, and beyond the top of the stairs, you can see what looks like a crew member crouching against a wall. [I'm not sure if this is what you are talking about, but the illusion of a figure at the top of the stairs, behind the wall, is caused by the light from the chess room bouncing off the jagged stone walls. You can see these walls as Harry is walking into the room before he finds Quirrel.]
