Stupidity: Even though Hermione reminds them that they must not be seen after freeing Buckbeak, they fly toward the castle, whooping and cheering because they're flying. Then, they land in the courtyard of the castle, have a conversation, and then Sirius flies off with Buckbeak. Not the behavior of trying to remain unseen and unheard.

Deliberate mistake: When Harry drops the Monster Book of Monsters, in the first shot facing Harry's feet as the book chomps at him, he runs backwards a few steps and he stands at the foot of the bed. However, in the shot facing the fireplace, there is actually plenty of floorspace now, much more than other shots, between the rug and bed for Harry to continue to run backwards. (00:15:15)
Sirius Black: Sorry about the bite. I reckon that twinges a bit.
Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!

Chosen answer: It's not known what it is. It is left to the audience's imagination of what exactly is in the room or what some witch or wizard was doing in there. This is only meant to be a humorous bit and is unrelated to the plot. It didn't happen in the book.
