Corrected entry: When Bathilda Bagshot changes into the snake (Nagini) when Harry and Hermione have come to visit her, Hermione cast 1 or 2 spells who both affect Nagini. But because Nagini is a horcrux she shouldn't be. In the second part of Deathly Hallows at the great battle, Nagini is trying to kill Hermione and Ron just before Neville cuts her head off. At that moment Ron is casting a spell, but Nagini is not affected and just goes on like he should be. Also when Hermione trows a stone to Nagini, she isn't affected.

Correction: Even though Nagini is a horcrux, she, being a living being, can still be affected (though not killed) by magical spells, just as Harry, also carrying a horcrux, was when Voldemort's killing curse struck him near the movie's end, knocking him out. Ron used the same spell (confringo) that Hermione cast at Nagini earlier, but hers was stronger and unexpected. Ron, still less accomplished magically than Hermione and Harry, was attempting to get away and cast a weaker spell. Nagini, being sentient, seeing Ron, and was not taken by surprise, thus lessening the spell's effect. Also Hermione threw the stone to distract Nagini, not to inflict injury. Also, Bathilda didn't change into a snake. Nagini had killed Bathilda and was inside her dead body, animating it to walk. Nagini then slithers out through Bathilda's mouth and her body crumples to the floor.

Taken (2008)

Corrected entry: It seems that the truck that hit Peter had enough time to see him standing there and therefore at least hit the brakes, but it was going at full speed.

Correction: Peter had just jumped off an overpass and into a busy street full of oncoming traffic. There's no way of knowing if the driver, who was hardly expecting a pedestrian to suddenly appear in front of his truck, actually saw Peter in time to react to the situation safely. Slamming on the brakes of a large truck in the middle of a busy highway is potentially quite dangerous.

Corrected entry: 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.

Brad

Correction: 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.

raywest

Correction: 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.

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: 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.

raywest

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: 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.

Corrected entry: 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.

Correction: 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.

The Edge (1997)

Correction: I have watched this scene frame-by-frame, and there is nothing in Baldwin's ear. The light reflecting on the surface gives it an rather uneven look, but there is nothing there except his skin.

raywest

Correction: It looks like wax in his ear.

Corrected entry: In the Room of Requirement scene with Harry and Draco, Draco says that he is using his mother's wand. In part 1, at Malfoy Manor, Dobby takes Narcissa's wand away from her before they disapparate.

Treebeard86

Correction: Wizards have more than one wand during their lifetimes, and Narcissa would have replaced the stolen one by now. This may also have been an old one that belonged to her.

raywest

Corrected entry: When the trio destroys all the horcruxes, Voldemort's face is seen in its current form. As with the diary when it is in use in the Chamber of Secrets, you are given Voldemort's soul as it was when the horcrux was created (as a teenager). Yet when every other horcrux is destroyed, the spirit's demon/noseless form is seen.

mellowyelllow1158

Correction: The diary horcrux was destroyed before Voldemort had been resurrected into his current snake-like form in "Goblet of Fire." Therefore, it is reasonable that the image seen in the diary would show the younger Tom Riddle.

raywest

Corrected entry: Harry collects two tears from Snape as he dies however when he pours the tears into the pensieve he pours a larger amount of liquid than the two tears collected by harry.

Correction: They are not "tears," they are memories being secreted in the form of teardrops. Therefore, they are magical and can change their shape, consistency, and volume.

raywest

Corrected entry: When Harry is viewing Snape's memories in the pensive, there's a scene where Snape is talking to Dumbledore and Snape casts Lily's patronus. Dumbledore was already supposed to be dead during that scene, because the patronus went to Harry's aide at the frozen lake from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1. Dumbledore had died in the previous movie before that.

Kalriana

Correction: You are confusing two different events. This scene definitely took place before Dumbledore's death, but it is not the same time as when Snape sent the patronus to Harry. Snape is merely showing Dumbledore that his patronus' shape is still a doe, the same as Lily Potter's was. It is Snape's way of telling Dumbledore that he still deeply loves Lily, even many years after her death. When Snape sent the patronus to Harry, it is much later and after Dumbledore had died. There is a brief "flashback" scene inter-cut within this showing when Harry saw the doe patronus in the woods that led him to the Sword of Gryffindor. This was not Snape's memory, but it is Harry's, and it is meant to tie the two incidents together and reveal that it was Snape who had sent the patronus and the sword to Harry in part 1.

raywest

Corrected entry: After the confrontation between McGonagall and Snape in the Great Hall, Snape gives up and flies off, taking the two Carrow siblings with him. But in the next two scenes, they are still lying unconscious on the floor.

Gui Petrini

Correction: This is incorrect. When Snape escapes, he does not take either Carrow with him, and one is clearly seen lying on the floor to the left as he crashes through the window. The other Carrow is obscured by the dark mist, but you can seen him lying there unconscious.

raywest

Corrected entry: Harry Potter disarms Draco Malfoy and gains full power of Malfoy's wand and the Elder Wand. However, in the first year, all wizards are taught to disarm each other, yet the possession of their wands never change.

Correction: It is only under specific circumstances that a wand "may" change its allegiance to a new owner. It does not automatically happen every time a wizard is disarmed. Also, because the students are only learning how to perform the spell, it is not a true combat situation - they are only practising. The wands, being somewhat sentient, are able to detect the difference. New information on "Pottermore" also reveals that the more powerful wands tend to have stronger loyalty to their masters, making them more difficult to "capture."

raywest

Corrected entry: When Professor McGonagall uses a spell to animate the knights, they are in minority than when you see them on the bridge. On the bridge they are at least twice, maybe triple as many. (00:40:45 - 00:53:50)

Correction: There are many stone statues located throughout the castle, not just where McGonagall is standing. After the spell activates them, it would take some time for them all to congregate into the larger mass that is seen shortly after.

raywest

Corrected entry: The film never explains why Harry survives the Killing Curse cast by Voldemort. While the book explains that Harry survives because Voldemort took his mother's blood, the movie never does. As such, there's no reason that a curse that guarantees death would suddenly fail.

Correction: Spoiler Alert: The movie does not explain this well and it's complicated, but the curse did not "fail." Voldemort had overcome Lily Potter's protection after he added Harry's blood to his own during his "resurrection." Harry also explains to Ron and Hermione at the end of DH2 that the Elder Wand was never commanded by Voldemort, though after killing Snape, he mistakenly believed he did, and that is why Voldemort was certain the killing curse was now fatal to Harry. But unknown to Voldemort, it was actually Draco who had won the wand's allegiance when he disarmed Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower in "Half-blood Prince." When Harry later disarmed Draco at Malfoy Manor, the wand shifted its allegiance to Harry. Recognizing Harry as its master, the wand would never harm him, even when it was wielded by Voldemort, causing his killing curse to rebound off Harry and instead strike him. In the Forbidden Forest, the first time Voldemort casts the curse at Harry, it rebounds, knocking Harry unconscious (and also destroying Voldemort's soul shard within Harry). It then hit Voldemort, who is also knocked out but survives because he has one Horcrux left. During their final confrontation, Voldemort's curse again rebounds off Harry and strikes Voldemort, fatally this time, because Neville has just killed Nagini, the last Horcrux. Voldemort unintentionally kills himself.

Corrected entry: Cho Chang is the one who tells Harry about Rowena's tiara. However, we've previously been told that Cho is a year older than Harry, and Harry is now in year 7, which would make Cho year 8, which doesn't exist.

Correction: It is NEVER stated in the movies that Cho is a year older than Harry or what year she is in. She was one year ahead of Harry in the books only, but that does not apply to the films. This fact was previously pointed out in the "Deathly Hallows Part 1" Movie Mistakes section.

raywest

Corrected entry: The silver chalices have glass cups set in a silver goblet, and these cups break when the chalices are damaged by the Spaniard. When Cruz's character "drinks" from the chalice, you can see that the glass is broken before the silver rim, so when she tilted it to drink, the contents would have poured out of the hole, not into her mouth.

Ian Hunt

Correction: When Jack first nears the Fountain's location, the water is dripping "upwards." Its magical nature prevents it from acting as water normally does, such as leaking out of the damaged cup.

raywest

Corrected entry: When Xenophilius Lovegood draws the Deathly Hallows, his resurrection stone is a misshapen circle, but when the camera cuts away and comes back, it is perfect.

Tfan

Correction: It has already been pointed out that the symbol Xeno is seen drawing appears different from the close-up shot.

raywest

Corrected entry: In the ending credits, when they show the names of the students going to Hogwarts on the train, there are two names that should not be there: Cho Chang and Katie Bell. Both of them graduated the previous year. The first time code is for the train and the second is for the credits. (00:46:00 - 02:19:10)

Correction: While that is true in the books, the films never state that either Cho or Katie were a year ahead of Harry. There have been many instances where facts in the movies differ from the books. For example, the Patil twins are identical and were sorted into different houses in the books, while in the films, they are either fraternal twins or merely sisters, and both are in Gryffindor.

raywest

Besides, Cho Chang was in HPATDH. She comments on Luna's statement about the Diadem.
