Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Factual error: During the scene when Harry and Hagrid are on the motorbike going through a tunnel, the bus signals that it is going to Dartford. Both of the tunnels at Dartford carry north-bound traffic, going away from Dartford - all south-bound traffic, towards Dartford, travels on the bridge (visible in some shots). No traffic enters the tunnels heading south-bound towards Dartford.

Suggested correction: During times of high winds, the Dartford Bridge is closed, and one of the tunnels does, in fact, carry southbound traffic.

Factual error: In the scene where Harry and Hermione are dancing in the tent, a radio is on. The song played is "O Children" by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds, which was released in 2004. However, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows takes place in 1997-1998, considering that later in the film the graves of Lily and James Potter give their death year as 1981. As Harry was one year old when his parents died, this means that he was born in 1980, and thus the film itself must, like the book, take place in 1997, when Harry is seventeen. This makes it impossible for "O Children" to have been on the radio at the time.

Continuity mistake: In the second to last shot, where Lord Voldemort is drawing the Elder Wand out of Dumbledore's hands, and then thrusts the wand into the air, Lord Voldemort's arm has hair on it. In the book, he is described as completely hairless, and in every other shot in every other movie, they have been careful to remain true to this.

Trivia: The reason Crabbe was not in the Deathly Hallows part 1 or 2 was because he was arrested because of marijuana and drugs he had and grew in his home. So that other kid was replicated but you can tell the difference.

Question: Ron, Harry, and Hermione use polyjuice potion a lot. I'm confused as to how this is. In The Chamber of Secrets it is revealed that it takes a month to make. It would seem unlikely that Hermione would carry around a cauldron and potion ingredients and waste a month making the potion after they had a plan. If Hermione had made them over the summer, she would have only had time to make a few before she would have to leave with Harry and Ron. How do they get all their polyjuice potion?

Jennifer Smith

Chosen answer: It's explained a little more in the book. Hermione swiped Mad-Eye Moody's stock of the potion when Mrs. Weasley wasn't looking. And it's possible that, when they ran low, she simply replicated it with a Doubling Charm.
