Mistake Continuity: After the Weasley's have handed over the Marauder's Map to Potter, George puts his wand on the Map while saying, "I solemnly swear that I'm up to no good." When it cuts to a closeup of the map, you can see the way Potter is holding it changes, and the way George's wand is on it changes. (Time) Submitted by Mortug

Mistake Continuity: At the hotel, when Harry tries to catch the Monster Book of Monsters, a train passes and some wood powder falls from the ceiling but when Harry steps on the book, there's no more trace of powder on the floor. It can't be completely under the book, because there was powder at different places. (Time) Submitted by Dr Wilson

Mistake Continuity: In Hagrid's hut, Hagrid gets something from a cage, and then he tosses it for his creature to eat.

Mistake Factual error: When Harry is beating up Malfoy and the two Slytherin boys in front of the Shrieking Shack, he grabs one of them by his scarf and rotates him around. The center of their revolutions should be at the end of the scarf (where Harry grabs it), but as there is no actual counterweight for the boy he has to balance only his own body, which moves the center of his revolution strongly towards him.

However, in the wide shot when Lupin explains that he resigned, the chair is much further away. Then after Lupin leaves, when Harry walks towards the door, the chair is beside the desk again.
