Mistakes

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. See more...

Normally, when you get hit by the killing curse, you fall to the floor dead and whole. When Voldemort gets hit, he dissolves into ashes, and doesn't stay as a whole. [Voldemort's soul had been so severely damaged by being shredded into the seven horcruxes that the small portion remaining inside him could have been insufficient to keep his body in tact. It was also a resurrected body, and may have been weaker than normal, making it react differently to the killing curse.]

When Voldemort destroys the protective enchantments, in one shot Bellatrix shields her face with her arms but in the next shot she has her arms wide open with no time for her to have moved them. [Nonsense. There is usually a brief time lapse between shots, and it would take hardly any time for Bellatrix to move her arms from her face into the position you described.]

When Harry and co. change clothes after jumping into the lake, Harry puts on a long sleeved gray shirt that has a dark collar. Later, in the "limbo" scene, he is shown wearing the same gray shirt with dark collar but the sleeves are short. [The "Limbo" scene has no relationship whatsoever to what Harry was wearing after the Trio jumped into the lake. After being hit by Voldemort's curse, everything was occurring inside Harry's head. Whatever he sees is from an altered reality. You'll also notice his hair was perfectly combed, he no longer has cuts or bruises, and he was not wearing his glasses, as he would have no need for them in a state between life and death. Everything around him is altered too, such as the train station, and even Dumbledore, who looks fully restored to health. The shirt he has on is just a style Harry has often worn, so it is logical he would picture himself wearing some version of it.]

Why is there snow in Hogsmeade when the trio gets there and meets Aberforth? Hogsmeade and Hogwarts are within walking distance of each other, yet there is no snow at Hogwarts. [According to interviews with Rowling, Hogsmeade is above the snow line, so there would always be snow there, no matter the weather at Hogwarts.]

When Voldemort says to Snape in the Boathouse "Only I can live forever", Snape's reply is "My lord". Look at his shirt and you'll see that it's buttoned. But when Voldemort casts Sectumsempra on him his button is undone and his white collar is visible. [The button wasn't undone, Sectumsempra cut his coat as well as his flesh.]

During Snape's death scene, he dies with his eyes open. In the next shot, his eyes are closed. [The later shot blurs Snape's face slightly, which could cause the eyes to appear closed.]
Edit
In the epilogue at the end of the movie Harry has no scar. [Actually, the scar is present but very difficult to see. It is very thin and faded, as would be expected nearly 20 years after Voldemort's defeat. It is easiest to see if you pause the movie during Harry's conversation with Albus Severus. Several of the front shots of Harry show the scar.]

In the scene where Lavender dies, her head is facing away from us while Fenrir Greyback is biting her neck. After Fenrir is blown out the window, her head is turned toward us, conveniently so we can see who just died. [That is wrong. When Greyback is attacking Lavender and is then blown out the window, her head is pointing to the left-hand side of the screen and her face is turned away. The camera shifts its angle, and Lavender is now seen from the "opposite" side, with her head still tilted in the same position, but her body is now pointing to the right, showing her face to the audience.]

The giant chess queen from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can be seen in the Room of Hidden Things. [So can many other items that have appeared in the series. The Room of Requirement is in its "storage room" mode, and it is the most likely place that the chess piece, as well as many other objects (that were also seen in the films) would be stored.]

In the '19 years later' scene Harry and Ginny have three kids, two from themselves, and one is the son of Lupin and Tonks, so that kid must be about 19 years old. Instead, both in the book and in the movie he is the same age as Harry and Ginny's other 2 kids. [Sorry, but this is incorrect. Harry and Ginny have three biological children: James Sirius (the eldest at about 13-years-old), Albus Severus (the middle child who is eleven), and Lily Luna (the youngest, aged nine). That is who is seen at the train station. Harry is godfather to Remus and Tonk's son, Teddy Lupin, who would be almost 20, but he was raised by his widowed maternal grandmother, Andromeda Black Tonks (sister to Bellatrix Lestrange and Narcissa Malfoy). Teddy was close to Harry, and often visited with him and Ginny while growing up. In the book, Teddy was at the train station seeing off his girlfriend, Victoire Weasley, Fleur and Bill's daughter. If he is at the train station in the film, he is not identified, nor is it mentioned in the film that Harry is Teddy's godfather.]

In the scene when Harry is at the edge of the Forest on his way to die, he tells Lupin he is sorry he will not be able to know his son. However, in Part 1, in the scene at the Dursley's house, Mad Eye interrupts Tonks and Lupin before they tell Harry that they will be having a baby - Harry never finds out about Lupin's son. [Just because it's not shown on camera, does not mean Lupin and Tonks did not later announced the news while Harry and the others were at the Weasleys' home, following Voldemort's attack and prior to the wedding. There was also ample opportunity for Lupin to have told Harry that he and Tonks had a son after meeting up with him again at Hogwarts for the big battle.]

When Harry and Voldemort are duelling in the castle (after Voldemort had discovered that Harry is not dead), Harry drops the basilisk fang, and it is destroyed by Voldemort. However, minutes later, Ron somehow has it when he and Hermione are trying to kill Nagini. [In an earlier shot, Ron has an armful of the fangs. Presumably the one he has is one of the others.]
Edit
In the final scene, (19 years later) the aerial shot of Kings Cross station is actually St. Pancras station, which is across the road from Kings Cross. [This was done deliberately throughout all of the films because Kings Cross station does not have 10 platforms, therefore there cannot be a platform 9¾. J.K. Rowling got the stations mixed up when she wrote the first book.]

In Snape's flashback Harry's mother, as a child, has brown/black eyes. Though when she is an adult she has blue eyes. [Eye colors have been known to change as people grow older, As a child I had blue eyes, I now have brown eyes.]
Edit
When the trio enters the room of requirements with Neville, there are many Hogwarts students that were a student at Hogwarts that year. Cho Chang was in there. It has been told that Cho is one year ahead of Harry. So if it were going to be Harry's 7th year, Cho shouldn't be a student, she should have graduated the year before. [It is NEVER stated in the film series that Cho Chang is one year ahead of Harry at Hogwarts. While that is true in the books, it does not apply to the films, and is therefore not considered a movie mistake. Book-film discrepancies are not mistakes. Please stop submitting this. ]

When Voldemort breaks into the nursery where Lily and Harry are, Lily is holding Harry. But in the Snape flashback scene, Lily is talking to Harry in his crib before Voldemort breaks in. Also, when Voldemort kills Lily, Harry is in the crib again. [Yes, but there is no mistake. Lily's talking to Harry before Voldemort gets to the room. When Voldemort gets near, Lily gets Harry and closes the door (as seen in Philosopher's Stone). Before Voldemort kills Lily, she puts Harry in his crib again (as seen in PS as well). After she has died, he stays in his crib. No mistake.]
Edit
When Ron and Hermoine go back to the Chamber of Secrets to get a basilisk fang, Ron speaks Parseltongue and then explains to a surprised Hermione how he knows it. The second film established that one needs to speak Parseltongue to open even the bathroom entrance to the Chamber. Therefore, Ron would have explained himself before they reached this point. [Not necessarily. Ron might simply have not thought to explain how to open the door to Hermione until they reached it.]
Edit Corrected by Guy
The movie states openly (if I remember correctly) that Harry feels what Voldemort feels because of that piece of soul in Harry. So when Harry "dies" and that piece is killed, he should have stopped feeling it. Instead, he feels it along with Voldemort when the snake dies (and perhaps he should have REALLY felt it when Voldemort himself died). [I have just seen this movie and I don't recall a scene where Harry reacts to Nagini's death. We only see Voldemort reacting.]

When the school is assembled before Snape, as he announces that Harry Potter has been spotted, he says, "Earlier this evening, Harry Potter was sighted." However, outside the window behind him, it is light, while Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived in Hogsmede when it was dark. [So Snape is exaggerating, or reporting hearsay. People do this all the time. The important thing is that the students get his point, that Harry was known to be near Hogwart's.]

Hogwarts castle's design changes: Courtyard is now outside the dining hall, whereas in the rest of the movies there was a flight of stairs. [As explained in an answer to a question on this site, the stairs and the hall inside has been completely destroyed in the battle. That's why it appears as if the Great Hall leads directly into the courtyard.]
