Corrected entry: After Harry has fallen from Hagrid's arms and reveals he is alive, Voldemort tries to cast spells his way. After this they show a shot of Lucius, then back to Voldemort. Afterwards, Draco is grabbing his mother's left hand to leave, but later when they show Lucius catching up with them, Draco is holding her right hand.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Corrected entry: Normally, when you get hit by the killing curse, you fall to the floor dead and whole. When Voldemort gets hit, he dissolves into ashes, and doesn't stay as a whole.
Correction: Voldemort's soul had been so severely damaged by being shredded into the seven horcruxes that the small portion remaining inside him could have been insufficient to keep his body intact. It was also a resurrected body, and may have been weaker than normal, making it react differently to the killing curse.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Corrected entry: When Voldemort destroys the protective enchantments, in one shot Bellatrix shields her face with her arms but in the next shot she has her arms wide open with no time for her to have moved them.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Corrected entry: When Harry and co. change clothes after jumping into the lake, Harry puts on a long sleeved gray shirt that has a dark collar. Later, in the "limbo" scene, he is shown wearing the same gray shirt with dark collar but the sleeves are short.
Correction: The "Limbo" scene has no relationship whatsoever to what Harry was wearing after the Trio jumped into the lake. After being hit by Voldemort's curse, everything is occurring inside Harry's head. Whatever he sees is from an altered reality. You'll also notice all his clothes look clean and new, Harry is perfectly groomed and his hair neatly combed, he no longer has cuts or bruises, nor is he wearing his glasses, as he would have no need for them in a state between life and death. Everything around him is altered too, such as the train station, and even Dumbledore, who looks fully restored to health. Harry's shirt is just a style he has often worn throughout the series, so it is logical he would see himself wearing some version of it.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
Corrected entry: The giant chess queen from Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone can be seen in the Room of Hidden Things.
16th Sep 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
3rd Sep 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
27th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
26th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
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.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
27th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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."
27th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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)
18th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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.
15th Jul 2011
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 (2011)
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: There was quite a bit of distance traveled by them in between the time Draco first grabs Narcissa's arm when they are leaving Voldemort's group to the time you see Lucius running after them. At any time they could have stopped and change places.
