Corrected entry: After Harry comes out of the pensieve, Dumbledore stares straight ahead while he is talking, as if Harry is clear across the room, rather than looking directly at Harry. In the next shot, however, Dumbledore's body is turned slightly, and he's leaning down, looking directly at Harry, yet no time has passed.

Corrected entry: When the Durmstrang ship sinks into the water at the end, there is no disturbance in the water once it's below the surface. When it arrived there were plenty of waves and ripples, so it can't be an enchantment to prevent it disturbing the surface.
Correction: The submerged ship was moving at a much slower speed for their departure, and there would be less visible wake. When Durmstrang arrived, they were traveling at a fast pace to make a dramatic entrance. They could also have used magic to ripple the water for a more theatrical effect and to announce their arrival. When they depart, the mood is much more somber.

Corrected entry: If the plan to restrict the age of entry for the tri-wizard tournament was for safety reasons, why does nobody at Hogwarts have the least problem with tying Ron, Hermione, and Fleur's sister (all underage) to the bottom of the lake as part of one of the trials? This seems especially significant as the implication of Harry's rescuing of the sister is that without him she would never have escaped at all.
Correction: The students who were underwater were protected by magic and closely monitored by school officials; the triwizard contestants were not. It only appears that Harry rescued Fleur's sister. She was actually never in any danger. In HP and the Order of the Phoenix, Hermione criticizes Harry for acting foolishly, telling him he often blindly rushes in to be the hero - a trait that makes him dangerously predictable to his enemies and eventually leads to tragic consequences.

Corrected entry: After the second task Dumbledore awarded Harry second place, but at the beginning of the third task Dumbledore says Harry and Cedric are tied for first.
Correction: Harry is awarded second place only for the underwater task (Cedric was first). Harry was first in the dragon event, and Cedric was in second place. The competitors' overall standing before the final task includes how well they scored in "both" the first and second challenges. That is why Cedric and Harry are tied for first place at the start of the final event.
Correction: Time has passed--just enough so that in the second or two it takes between shots, Dumbledore could turn his body slightly and look down at Harry.
