Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After arriving in Hogsmeade, when Harry is talking to Aberforth Dumbledore, the table by the window has two chairs on one side of the table. A few minutes later, there's only one chair on that side, and the other chair is now at the end where there was previously none at all. (00:28:00)

Continuity mistake: When the Snatchers run out of the forest toward the covered bridge, Neville is standing in the bridge's center. But when the three Snatchers are killed by the shield, Neville is now standing at the bridge's entrance. (00:50:50)

Continuity mistake: In Limbo, while Dumbledore confirms that a part of Voldemort lived within Harry, the way he clasps his hands instantly changes. (01:33:20)

Continuity mistake: Just after Harry and Lord Voldemort have their altercation in the Forbidden Forest, Neville is seen walking into Hogwarts' courtyard entrance to pick up the sorting hat. In the first shot, there is a camera angle of him from the waist down from behind, and he is stepping over the rubble and having no trouble walking. In the very next shot, you get a full frontal view of him walking, and he is limping and can barely move. (01:38:00)

Continuity mistake: During the epilogue, Hermione hugs her daughter Rose. In the first shot, Rose's left hand rests on her mother's back just below the shoulder. Cut to the following shot and the same hand is on Hermione's arm instead. (01:56:00)

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 Voldemort kills Lily, she is wearing a sweater with high neck, long sleeves and it's red. When Snape comes in the room and sees Lily dead on the floor, she is wearing a blue blouse.

Continuity mistake: When Harry arrives in Hogsmeade and meets Aberforth Dumbledore, his stubble disappears in one shot and then reappears later in the same scene.

Continuity mistake: When Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville are in the Room of Requirement talking to Ginny, Harry's fringe keeps changing style between shots.

Sacha

Continuity mistake: In Snape's flashback Harry's mother, as a child, has brown/black eyes. When she is an adult she has blue eyes.

Continuity mistake: When the students enter the Great Hall, Ginny is seen among them in full uniform. However, when one of the Patil sisters begins screaming, she can be seen in the casual clothing that she was wearing earlier in the Room of Requirement.

Continuity mistake: The pillow behind Griphook constantly moves between shots while the Trio is talking to him at Shell Cottage.

Continuity mistake: During the flashback to young Lily and Severus, while they are lying under a tree, their positions change, specifically the distance between them.

Continuity mistake: Throughout all the movies, the characters discuss several times how much Harry's eyes resemble his mother's. When we see flashbacks of Lily in this movie she has dark brown eyes. In past movies, when she was portrayed as a Hogwarts student, (in most of the same memories) she had blue eyes.

Continuity mistake: After Hermione destroys Helga Huffleluff's cup, the basilisk's skeleton vanishes during the Voldemort tsunami.

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The skeleton could easily been washed away by the tsunami, it was definitely strong enough.

Agreed. The tsunami has enough force to move the remains. Especially as it appears to be a magical tsunami designed to wipe away whatever caused it.

Continuity mistake: In the "limbo" scene at King's Cross when Harry is speaking to Dumbledore, Dumbledore's hair changes frequently. It is covering part of his beard, then is back behind his ear, then is hanging neatly down.

Continuity mistake: When Snape redirects Professor McGonagall's spell to Alecto Carrow, she falls on the lower platform. But after the camera angle changes, she is lying on the second platform with her brother Amycus.

Continuity mistake: During the final battle between Harry and Voldemort, Harry disarms Voldemort and his wand spins out of his hand counter-clockwise, then it cuts to the wand spinning towards Harry clockwise.

Continuity mistake: When Nagini (the snake) is moving down the stairs to attack Ron and Hermione, it lunges from midway down the stairs, under the archway. After intercutting a shot of the duel between Voldemort and Harry, Nagini is lunging from the ground, far away from the staircase and the archway.

Continuity mistake: During the duel between Harry and Voldemort whilst they are on the Hogwarts staircase, there's a midshot of Voldemort casting a spell. His arm is at an extreme bend with his elbow close to the top of his head, and his forearm is above his head. The very next shot from a different angle, Voldemort's arm is straighter and his elbow is not bent, with his arm a considerable length away from his head.

Harry Potter: We have to go there, now.
Hermione Granger: What? We can't do that! We've got to plan! We've got to figure it out...
Harry Potter: Hermione! When have any of our plans ever actually worked? We plan, we get there, all hell breaks loose!

More quotes from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

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.

More trivia for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Question: When Hermione goes to Gringotts disguised as Bellatrix, the bank manager asks to see her wand. Hermione has Bellatrix's wands from the previous film. Why does she not simply show it?

bomberswarm2

Chosen answer: Hermione knows this is an unusual request and she and (and Harry) suspect the bank knows that Bellatrix's wand was captured by Harry Potter (at the end of Part 1). Showing the bank manager the real wand would prove that this is not Bellatrix. The bank and Voldemort's minions expected that Harry and the others might go to Gringotts searching for a Horcrux in the Lestrange's vault. They are setting a trap for Harry and his accomplices.

Incidentally, if I remember right, in the book Hermione actually does hand over Bellatrix's wand, not realizing the Gringotts goblins already know the wand is no longer in her possession, forcing Harry to cast a timely Imperius Curse to avoid the entire plan being exposed.
