Revealing: Aboard the Hogwarts Express, when Harry stands beside the open window and sends Hedwig off with the letter for Sirius, surely his hair and clothes would be wildly moving about, because of the strong wind from the fast moving train.

As with the other films, book/film differences aren't movie mistakes.
Continuity: When Harry is on the Hogwarts Express, it is apparent that his scar is missing or very much out of place. Then during the second task, when Harry is swimming, the same thing happens.
Continuity: When Hermione is walking over to wake up Ron she places a candle on the table. When it cuts the candle has moved closer to the edge of the table.
Continuity: At the first challenge, just before the Horntail makes its appearance, there is a tight close-up of the egg as Harry stands in the stone "doorway" in the background, on the left. Clearly it is not Daniel Radcliffe, but his stand-in (his face differs and he has a shorter, bowl-type haircut) who is standing there, for this one specific shot.
Continuity: Right before the third task, Igor Karkaroff puts his hands on Krum's shoulders. In the next shot, however, his hands are off his shoulders and he is standing a respectable distance away. This change continues throughout the rest of the scene.
Continuity: When Ron enters the common room, Harry places himself at the edge of the couch. When it cuts, he has moved further in on it.
Continuity: When Ron glares at Harry in the Great Hall, he is angry with him for getting his name into the Goblet, but his face has dramatically changed from the previous shot (where he is in the background, behind Hermione).
Continuity: As Dumbledore calls out Harry's name for the Tri Wizard Tournament we see Ron sitting behind looking rather annoyed. We see him sitting up and looking to his right as Harry walks towards Dumbledore. Then as the camera switches angles he is now leaning forward.
Continuity: When Harry's name has just come out of the Goblet, we see a shot of Hermione with Ron in the background. In this shot, Ron is looking up at Hermione. A second later from a different angle, Ron is looking down, then moves his head to glare in Harry's direction. Nobody can move that fast.
Continuity: When Barty Crouch places the chalice on the table he has his hand under the piece of cloth lying on top of it. When it cuts to Dumbledore you can see Barty in the background with his hand outside the cloth.
Continuity: When Hagrid stabs Professor Flitwick in the hand with his fork, the fork changes places slightly between the wide shot of them and the close-up of Flitwick's hand, even though the fork hadn't been removed yet.
Revealing: In the graveyard, when Voldemort puts his foot on Cedric's face, Cedric's eyes are staring straight up. As Voldemort pushes, Cedric's eyes do not follow his head's movement, but continue to stare at the point that would have been straight up from his head's original position.
Continuity: Just before Moody turns Draco into a ferret Harry has a confrontation with him and pushes him. In the first shot right before Harry pushes him they are almost face to face. Cut to behind Harry after he pushes him and Draco has been pushed back several feet. Cut to behind Draco just as Harry says 'he's vile and cruel' and they are now almost face to face again.
Continuity: In the scene after the old caretaker is killed, Ron is seen sleeping on the bed and as Hermione is about to wake him up his arms change position. His right hand is first resting on the pillow, when it cuts it's under the pillow.
Continuity: In the scene when Harry is talking to Sirius Black in the fire, Sirius has a large piece of wood below his right nostril in all of the close-up shots. But in the shots that are farther away, there is no large wood piece, and instead there is a smaller one that is on fire.
Continuity: After Cedric Diggory is killed in the cemetery, his body changes position during the scene, particularly its proximity to the Riddle monument.
Continuity: When Harry wakes up after having his first nightmare the pillow under his head change position in the next shot.
Continuity: When Moody has turned Draco into a ferret, McGonagall shows up asking what he is doing. Behind her Harry is holding onto his bag's strap. His hand's position on the strap changes in the next shot.
Continuity: When Fred or George says "Sounds like the Irish has got their pride on", right before Arthur enter the tent, we see him swinging a pillow to his right ready to hit. When it cuts to Arthur entering, he has his pillow to his left.
Audio problem: After showing the three unforgivable curses Moody comes down the stairs to Neville and says, "Son, are you alright? Come on, we'll have a cup of tea." However, when he says, "Come on" his mouth isn't moving.
