Deliberate mistake: In "Do You Hear the People Sing?", Grantaire can be seen hijacking the funeral carriage but when the insurrection starts, he is at the tavern with some girl and Marius acts like he wasn't just there. George Blagden who portrayed Grantaire didn't want to be left out of that great set-piece so he was allowed to participate and the director must have thought no-one would notice him.

1 deliberate mistake
Directed by: Tom Hooper
Starring: Helena Bonham Carter, Russell Crowe, Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman, Amanda Seyfried, Eddie Redmayne, Sacha Baron Cohen
Continuity mistake: Towards the end of "Stars" the camera is behind Javert while he faces out towards the city. On the right, you can see clouds being illuminated by an absent moon that is off screen but behind said clouds yet the moon reflects off of the left side of his face.
Thenardier: Everybody raise a glass!
Madame Thenardier: Raise it up the master's ass!
Trivia: The Bishop of Digne is played by Colm Wilkinson, who was the original Jean Valjean on both the West End and Broadway.
