Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.
We can easily see that Harry's glasses do not have lenses. However, there are some shots that his glasses do have lenses. [Sorry but you'll need to be more specific as to where it can be seen, as we can't tell if you're referring to a scene where it just looks like he doesn't have lens when he does. That often happens with glasses. I should know, I wear them.]
In one scene in the common room the song 'Boys Will Be Boys' by 'The Ordinary Boys' is playing, but this film is set in the 1990s, before the song was released. [The films are separate from the books - the films have never stated what year they're set.]
In the Room of Requirement, Neville tells Harry that Bellatrix Lestrage is the Death Eater who tortured his parents. However, in the previous film, Dumbledore's pensieve shows that Barty Crouch Jr. did it (and was sent to Azkaban for it.). [The Longbottoms were tortured by a group containing both Crouch and the Lestranges.]

In the scene where Harry first arrives at Sirius's house, Ginny is seen laughing at Tonks's nose. In one shot, she has her hand over her mouth, laughing. In the next shot, a wideshot of the whole table, her hand is no longer over her mouth and she has a straight face. [There was more than enough time for her to move her hand. It takes only a split second to do so.]

In the movie, the spell Stupefy is used in the Room of Requirement. The spell should make Harry become knocked out but he just flies backwards. [The spell may not have been strong enough.]

The established continuity of traveling through fireplaces tells us that to do so, one must throw floo powder into the fireplace you are using, then state your destination. However, during the battle between Voldemort and Dumbledore, Bellatrix Lestrange simply crawls into a fireplace and leaves. Even if she didn't care about her destination, she still skipped the important first step- the floo powder was never thrown in. [These fireplaces are used exclusively for floo powder travel. It's likely the ministry keeps the fires on a constant supply.]

During the scenes where "Dumbledore's Army" are practicing their spells, at one point they are using the spell 'Levi Corpus'. It is not until the next book (The Half Blood Prince) that this spell is actually discovered and used. [Book/Film discrepancies are not valid movie mistakes. The spell doesn't even do, in the books, what the movie shows it to do. But that's not a mistake either.]

In the scene when Neville Longbottom is seen looking into the mirror and Harry approaches, we see close enough to the mirror to read the titles on the newspaper cuttings. One notes the 'Mysterious Disapearences'. The 2nd E in Disapearances is a horrendous spelling mistake, beyond what a newspaper might reasonably make. [The Guardian Newspaper (as an example) is a respected broadsheet and yet notorious for its spelling errors. Newspapers do make mistakes.]

In the scene where Mrs. Figg is bringing Harry and Dudley home after the attack of the Dementors, she speaks about "the boy who was killed last year". Actually it is summer so Cedric died only a few weeks ago. [She is employing brevity. She is referring to the last school year, not calendar year, as the new school year is about to begin. Since Harry knew perfectly well what she was talking about, and since time was short, she didn't bother spelling this out.]

During the first Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson with Umbridge, when the students are told they will not be using practical defensive spells the class is shocked as the camera pans out you hear a pencil drop and roll across the floor - even though the students write with quills. [It's never shown what was dropped. It could have been any number of objects, including a wand. And just because the students write with quills, it doesn't mean someone, especially a Muggle-born student, couldn't have a pencil with them. Also, there are pen-like writing instruments on Umbridge's desk, and the students use a pencil when they sign up for "Dumbledore's Army".]

In the Forbidden Forest, Hermione dings the bell on the handlebar in the close-up as Grawp stands quite a few feet away. In the next shot, Grawp, still standing in the same place, dings the bell on the same handlebar. It changed hands between shots. [How do we know that while the camera was on Hermione, he didn't pick up a second handlebar with a bell? He might have well collected these.]

The kiss scene between Cho Chang and Harry Potter took 30 takes. [I just saw a televised interview with the director. He said that scene was done in 19 takes. (not unusual) He also said that to spare the actors embarrassment, he had all non-essential persons leave the set. The rest of the cast and crew gathered in the next room and watched the scene on the monitors.]
