Mistake Continuity: In Divination, as Trelawney says, "The art of crystal gazing is in the clearing of the Inner Eye... Now what do we have here?" Ron sleeps with his elbow at the books in front of him and then wakes. In the next shot the books are between him and Hermione. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: During class, as Lupin's Boggart turns into a wheezing balloon in the first shot it passes Harry and heads to the back, however, in the next shot the balloon is still in front of Lupin. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: At Hagrid's, when Harry, Ron and Hermione visit the first time, the quilt lying on the chair changes position over and over again, from lying over the back of the chair, to being on the seat and so forth, until Hagrid takes it to cover his little creature.

Mistake Continuity: When the Weasleys give Harry the Marauders Map, Harry takes it from George with his left hand, yet in the next shot the map is in his right hand. (Time) Submitted by Hamster

Mistake Revealing: As Harry and Buckbeak fly over the loch, Buckbeak's foot trailing in the water leaves a wake, as it should. This wake should also disturb the ripples and waves that are already present on the surface of the water, but they do not. It is obvious that the wake effect was added in, but the foundation shot of the loch was not edited to help it make sense. (Time)

Mistake Continuity: In the paddock scene, Harry is walking towards Buckbeak. The shot then focuses on Hermione putting her arm on Ron's shoulder. Then the camera focuses back on Harry and in the background you can see Hermione placing her arm on Ron's shoulder again. (Time)

Mistake Continuity: When the stone hits Harry, the very first time, in the shot inside Hagrid's, he yells, "Ow!" and as he turns the blue cup touches the wood tray. In the next exterior shot, the blue cup is closer to the birdcage. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Audio problem: As Sirius, the dog, drags Ron towards the Whomping Willow, Hermione and Harry chase after them. When Sirius actually backs up into the hole below the tree trunk, Ron begins to shout, "Help!" In the next shot, as Harry starts to stretch his arms forward to dive down, Hermione runs behind him and visually she shouts Ron's name, though there is no sound heard. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: When Harry enters the room in the Leaky Cauldron that the Minister of Magic is in, Hedwig has arrived before him. The owl shown at the start of the scene is a white owl with many black spots on both its wings. However, when Harry leaves and Hedwig flies to his arm, this owl has very few spots at the edge of its wings and tail, obviously it's one of the other owls that portray Hedwig. (Time)

Screen shot Continuity: When Trelawney asks Ron to look in Harry's cup and read the tea leaves, the Grim within the cup is visible. When Harry looks in the cup the Grim is different, for example, it has an open mouth in this shot. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Audio problem: In the Knight Bus, when Shrunken Head says, "Yeah, take..." in the front shot, his mouth, cheek and jaw move as he speaks. As he continues, "...it away, Ernie! It's going to..." in the back shot, his mouth and jaw do not move at all, yet when he says, "...to be a..." his mouth and jaw move as usual. (Time) Submitted by Mortug

Mistake Continuity: As Harry walks toward the Monster Book of Monsters as it lies on the bench in the first shot, the bench is near the edge of rug close to the fireplace. As the book chases him the bench is nearer the center of the rug. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: As Lupin packs in his office, the gramophone and books on his desk are visible in many shots. When Harry first walks in, the set of three thin books, bound with a string at the top of one pile, as well as the gramophone and other books noticeably change their position in quite a few shots. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: The Monster Book of Monsters' torn papers change amount/position in subsequent side and top shots when there has been no movement on the floor by the book or Harry nor any floor shaking by the train either. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Revealing: Right before Ron pushes Harry towards Buckbeak, you can see him glance to the right several times, as if waiting for a cue. (Time)

Mistake Continuity: When Marge turns upside-down, just before floating out the dining room door, the bottom of her jacket falls towards her arms and the back of her jacket is deliberately pinned to her blouse and skirt, so as not to fall entirely down. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: At the Leaky Cauldron, after Harry takes off his sneaker, to distract the Monster Book of Monsters, he stands at the edge of the bed. In the wide shot, the very long ends of the shoelace dangle over his fingers at his knuckles, yet, in the next close-up, it's now the short ends that are held tightly in his fist, the opposite way. (Time) Submitted by Rikki

Mistake Continuity: When Hermione and the others are in Hagrid's hut, a rock with a swirl on it hits the pot. Later, when Hermione and Harry are reliving the scene from the exterior view, Hermione picks up the "same" rock to throw at the pot. The rock is different though, it has a bigger swirl on it. (Time)

Mistake Audio problem: When Aunt Marge says, "Vernon, Vernon do something." and the dog charges at Vernon and bites him in his leg, you can hear Vernon scream in pain. At the same time you can see his lips move as he says something, but all we hear is screaming. (Time) Submitted by Mortug
