Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Continuity mistake: When Moody, Harry, Tonks et al. stand in front of 12 Grimmauld Place, their positions change. Harry and Tonks stand very close to Moody in shots facing them, but shots facing Number 12 they stand much farther apart, and in Harry's close-ups Shacklebolt now stands directly behind him, though in back shots Kingsley is behind Moody, and about 4-5 ft away from Harry. (00:10:25)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Dumbledore is duelling with Voldemort at the Ministry, some tiles by Harry get broken. In a different shot of Harry in the same place, different tiles are broken. (01:54:10)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Padfoot runs through the door at Kings Cross, it's open a fair bit (look at the top of the door to see the angle). When Harry runs through almost instantly after, it has closed a little more. (00:24:45)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: As the students are departing the Room of Requirement and all thanking Harry, the group of students around Harry completely changes between shots. It's especially noticeable as the boy with shoulder-length brown hair passes Harry twice. (01:01:55)

Blibbetyblip

Continuity mistake: During Mr. Weasley's celebrated arrival at 12 Grimmauld Place, in the wideshots facing that end of the table something tall is placed right beside the wood hutch, off to Ginny's left. In the shots facing the doorway, including when Harry joins them, there is nothing beside that hutch. (01:11:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the Dementor lifts Harry off the ground in the tunnel, Harry's feet dangle beside the very large graffitied word "Stark", and then falls to the ground past the word with his feet near the "k". After it cuts to the closeup of his wand, Harry is now lying beside the "S", even closer to the Dementor, though he is trying to back away from it and reach his wand behind him. (00:03:55)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the very start, Harry has his wand to Dudley. In this shot he is right by Dudley. When it goes dark, Harry and Dudley have moved apart a fair bit. (00:02:10)

Ssiscool

Continuity mistake: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione go into the forest with Hagrid to see Grawp, Grawp frightens them and they run back and you see Harry is standing next to Ron and Hermione. In the next shot, Harry is standing about five feet away on the opposite side of where he was standing in the previous shot. (01:29:35)

Ceilidh

Kingsley Shacklebolt: You may not like him, Minister, but you can't deny it, Dumbledore's got style.

Trivia: The director and other persons of importance had cut Kreacher out of the film. JKR told them that she couldn't tell them what to do, but the final film wouldn't make sense if they didn't introduce Kreacher in this one. Five minutes later, Kreacher was back in.

More trivia for Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

Question: I don't understand why Voldemort needed the prophecy from the Department of Mysteries. Doesn't he already know that Harry can possibly kill him, since Harry conquered him on the night of James and Lily's murders?

Answer: When Voldemort originally attacked Harry, he was acting on information provided to him by Snape. But Snape's information was not complete, ergo why Voldemort lost his powers. He wants the prophecy in order to hear it in its entirety, because he believes it will give him the information he needs to kill Harry.
