In the very beginning of the movie, Harry is looking through a photo album. He turns to a picture of him, Ron, and Hermione. Hermione's hair is different in this movie than in the first. In the photo, Hermione's hair is like it is in the second movie, but the picture was supposed to have been taken during the course of the first movie, in which her hair was a bit different. [Pictures can change their hairstyles; note Lockhart's pictures.]
In the scene with the Rogue Bludger, Harry and Malfoy dive to the bottom of the stands to chase the golden snitch, they have to go through all the wood. But in the first movie, there is just sand there, as we see when Angelina Johnson gets knocked into the stands and falls. [This is not a mistake in the film, but a difference between the first two movies. The Quidditch pitch could have been renovated during summer break, it's as simple as that.]
In the scene where Lockhart is saying something about the Bandon Banshee, he calls it a "him." Banshees are female spirits. [Don't forget Lockhart is an idiot and lies about all his adventures. This shows that not only is he a liar, but he didn't even bother checking his facts.]

Harry Potter is the Seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team; his sole responsibility is to get the Golden Snitch. When we first open the Quidditch scene the camera focuses on the Chasers throwing and intercepting the Quaffle around the field. When one of the Slytherin Chasers has the Quaffle, Harry is speeding right behind him and continues to pursue him as he swerves around the audience stands and other players until he stops and we see the close-up of him. Why is he pursuing a Chaser when he should be looking for the Snitch? [Seekers can fly around the field as they want, and if Harry wants to distract a opponent Chaser, he can. He knows that this takes him away from his real task for a few moments, but he doesn't want the Slytherins to score, either.]
Corrected by Twotall
In the dueling scene, Gilderoy Lockhart says, "I said disarm only." Harry and Malfoy seem to wait for his line to be over instead of performing another spell on each other. Why would they care what he said? [Eh, because he is the teacher?]

Myrtle points to the sink where she saw the eyes of the basilisk, but she points to a different sink than the one that is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets [According to Myrtle she died when she heard some voices so she opened the closet door. During that time the basilisk could move to that spot, it's less than 2 meters away from the entrance.]
When Harry takes a handful of the floo powder we can see the top level of the powder is flat and undisturbed. It should be disturbed, as only moments before the shot Ron took a handful. [It is MAGICAL floo powder. It can transport people from one place to another. You don't think it could flatten itself?]
In the flying car, when they are try to get into the 'flying gear' (when getting away from spiders), Ron pulls down; but when Harry helps, they push the gear up. [Ron's worst fear is spiders, and there are spiders attacking him on all sides. He probably was not thinking.]
When Harry goes to the hospital, Madam Pomfry says "I can mend bones in a heartbeat..." However, at the end of the film, Ron's wearing a cast on his arm. If it could be mended in "a heartbeat," would it need a cast? [She was exaggerating, as Harry had a far worse injury than a broken bone.]
While transformed into Crabbe and Goyle, Harry and Ron meet up with Malfoy. If you look at their ties and badges, they're blue and silver. But Slytherin's colors are green and silver as seen at the Quidditch match. [The ties and crests actually are green and silver. The darker lighting makes them appear to be blue but they are green.]
The chamber of secrets was created by Salazar Slytherin, some 1000 years before Riddle came to find it. Would the plumbing inside the bathroom never have been changed in 1000 years? Or were the toilets and sinks the same for 1000 years? [Yes, the plumbing would have changed, and obviously has - you can see it. However, Hogwarts is magical so the entrance could probably 'make sure' it wasn't found. The original entrance would have been slightly different to the current one. Bear in mind, Riddle could have altered the entrance so he could find it more easily.]
In the scene where Professor McGonagall transfigures a bird into a glass cup, you can see Harry, Ron, Hermione and others from the Gryffindor house, and Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle from Slytherin. However, after Hermione asks McGonagall about the Chamber of Secrets, she looks around the room, and we see Justin Finch-Fletchley, who is in Hufflepuff. The decision to place him there must have to do with the fact that later on in the film, he is subject to an attack from the monster within the Chamber. [Only the books specify that the schedule is broken into houses, the movies never state this.]
Before Tom Riddle came to Hogwarts the toilet was not haunted, but a normal toilet for girls. Wasn't it strange that Slytherin (the man himself) had to go to the girl's bathroom when he wanted to visit his secret chamber? [Yes, which makes it even less likely for people to think the entrance is there. The chamber is meant to be hidden so no one apart from the heir can find it so the girls' toilets would be a good place.]
In the scene where Harry is on the floor with a broken arm after the Quidditch match, you can plainly hear Harry say something quite rude. It is just when Professor Lockhart comes over, and you may need to turn up to volume. [Actually Harry says 'thank you'. He says it to Hermione because she blasted the bluger before it could hit Harry again.]
In the forest scene, the flame lamp is always glowing with a different brightness. First it's very intense, and then so dim you can hardly see it. [This is simply what flames are like. When they move, they can get darker and lighter or the flame can start to go out and then pick up force again.]
When Harry and Ron are ejected from the flying car, it also ejects their trunks, the cages with the animals, and a few small parcels. When Harry and Ron enter the castle and leave their belongings with the other collected luggage, they leave fewer items than the car ejected. [It's possible they put the smaller packages in their trunks so they wouldn't drop them.]
Harry's Nimbus 2000 is different than the last in the previous movie. [The only thing different about the Nimbus 2000 is the metal stand that Harry can put his feet on. It's possible that he bought that in Diagon Alley.]
In the final scene, when Harry hugs Hagrid, the shot shows the back of Harry, and some hanging pans with flames can be seen on the wall. Look carefully at the one second from the left. It seems to burn backwards, as if it's animation has been reversed. [How can a flame burn backwards?]
Deleted Scene UK DVD: When Ron, Harry and Hermione are discussing the diary in the hospital wing, Hermione looks at a random page in the book and says Tom's name, Ron then takes it and points at the page while trying to remember where he read the name. Trouble is, the name is not printed in the pages, but on the back cover. [It's not a random page. She is looking inside the front cover of the diary and that does have Riddle's name printed on it. It's also printed on the outside of the back cover.]
When Harry Potter and Tom Riddle are talking inside the Chamber of Secrets, notice the bridge of Harry's nose. There is a small piece of duct tape under the bridge of the glasses to hold them in place. [No there isn't.That's just the bridge of his glasses.]
