Phixius

Corrected entry: When Lyra first meets Ms. Coulter, Ms. Coulter's daemon is pinning Pan to the ground underneath the table. Shouldn't Lyra have felt this?

Correction: No. While it isn't explicitly spelled out in the movies, there's nothing in the film to contradict what is explained in the books: that it takes either a fair amount of concentration or extremes in sensation for one to feel what the other feels, see what the other sees, or hear what the other hears. Lyra is distracted by the charming Ms. Coulter, so she's not concentrating on Pan, and the golden monkey isn't applying enough pressure on Pan to gain Lyra's notice.

Phixius

Corrected entry: During the battle at Bolvanger, Iorek kills one of the enemy soldiers by crushing him under his feet. The man's daemon disappears, ergo the man is dead. But you can hear him scream when Iorek picks up his body and tosses it away.

Correction: It could be anyone screaming; there is a large battle taking place, after all.

Phixius

Corrected entry: When Lyra rescues Billy Costa, she realizes that he does not have a daemon. however, as soon as Lyra and Iorek reach the Gyptian camp, Ma Costa comes running at them and says "We'll find your daemon, Billy." How could she have known that his daemon was missing if the first people to encounter Billy were Lyra and Iorek?

Correction: The people in Lyra's world can tell by looking at someone that they don't have a daemon. It is explained at length in the book, but apparently not so well in the film.

Phixius

Corrected entry: It's established that if a person's Daemon gets hurt, the person who that Daemon belongs to also gets hurt. Mrs. Coulter slapped her Daemon hard across the face enough to send it flying to the floor, so her actions should have resulted in her getting hurt, yet she wasn't.

Correction: Humans and their daemons share sensations. Coulter felt the pain, to be sure. She just didn't react to it. However, you can plainly see a handprint on her face when the camera pans around to show her left cheek.
