Battle of the Bastards - S6-E9
Revealing mistake: When Jon Snow jumps on the horse his steel sword wobbles back and forth revealing it's made of rubber.

Character mistake: When Theon and Yara are given an audience with Daenerys, Tyrion remarks to Theon that when they last saw each other at Winterfell, Theon was making jokes about Tyrion being a dwarf. The mockery was actually the other way around: Tyrion mocked Theon for being a glorified and subservient hostage of the Starks, as well as taking potshots at the foolish strategy of the Greyjoy rebellion.

Continuity mistake: When Jon Snow is all alone in the field drawing his sword to fight the incoming enemy cavalry, behind him we see an empty field. but seconds later as the enemy cavalry is near him they are met by Jon's own cavalry from behind. (00:37:30 - 00:38:20)
Chosen answer: Considering the show was in production for nearly a decade, it is hardly surprising that many characters were recast. Actors constantly move on to other jobs, creating scheduling conflicts. Some may not want to be tied to one project for so long a period, particularly for relatively minor roles that paid little money. As some characters became more prominent, the producers did recast a few roles with better-known actors. For example, Max Von Sydow replaced the actor who originally played the Three-eyed Raven. Some actors voluntarily left for personal reasons. Jennifer Ehle was originally cast to play Catelyn Stark but dropped out because she'd recently given birth. Other actors claimed they were replaced for "political" reasons.
