Continuity mistake: While camping and searching for horcruxes, the size of the trio's tent changes from location to location. Harry is standing beside it while Ron and Hermione are skipping stones across a body of water, and the tent is fairly tall. Other times, it's very short like a pup tent and they must stoop to enter.

Continuity mistake: When Harry jumps on the dragon, his hair is wet and messed, then it changes to dry and brushed and in the next angle, for a brief moment, it's back to wet and messed.

Continuity mistake: When Voldemort and his followers return for the final battle with Hagrid carrying Harry, the remaining building structure has fires in each section. When Harry and Voldemort land there during their duel, the fires are gone.

Suggested correction: Obviously, the fire had plenty of time to die out.

Continuity mistake: After Voldemort disapparates while Snape is dying, Harry asks Hermione for a flask for Snape's tears. She pulls a vial out of her purse. However, she hadn't had a purse during the entire prior battle, then suddenly has one at this moment. Afterwards, she no longer has the purse in any other scene.

Plot hole: Immediately after the confrontation between Harry/McGonagall and Snape in the Great Hall, Harry runs up to Ravenclaw tower against crowds of students running the opposite direction. However, all the students would have been in the Great Hall during that confrontation, and therefore would have been coming from the same direction as Harry.

Trivia: In the scene where Hagrid has dropped a "dead" Harry Potter, look quickly at George. He turns his head to the right and yells "Fred!" Fred has already been killed by Bellatrix Lestrange so it seems he may have forgotten this in a moment of grief.

Question: I don't really understand how Voldemort dies. The scene shows Harry and Voldemort fighting with the two spells - Expelliarmus and Avada Kedavra - and the spells collide. Then Harry disarms Voldemort and catches the wand, and then Voldemort just dies. Can anyone tell me why he dies?

Answer: It's a little complicated. Voldemort actually died by his own hand, though unintentionally. Voldemort believed he commanded the Elder Wand and cast the Avada Kedavra curse at Harry with it. However, Harry was actually the Elder Wand's master. Because wands are somewhat sentient, the Elder Wand recognized Harry as his master, so the killing curse rebounded off him, and went back to Voldemort, striking him dead. All of Voldemort's Horcruxes had been destroyed, so he was no longer protected by them. At the same time, Harry cast the Expelliarmus charm, causing the Elder Wand to be ejected from Voldemort's hand into his.
