Movie mistakes

[Marina]

I'm not sure if this could be considered a mistake, but it bugs me that when Lupin's starting to transform his iris turns green, but when he's fully transformed, they're amber.

Beginning of werewolf transformation:


End of transformation-now they're amber: (I also brightened the picture so it could be seen more clearly)

Looks like I killed the thread.

A PoA one I noticed: in the Shrieking Shack, when Harry says "Get off!" to Pettigrew, you can see Sirius has his wand arm up, pointing at Pettigrew. However, when the shot changes to a close up frame when Daniel says "I said we'd take you to the castle...", you can tell Sirius has his wand hand down by his side. There isn't enough time for him to have done this.

Also jumping around in the Shrieking Shack is Lupin-and it's all of him. When Snape says "...how I hoped I'd be the one to catch you..." Remus starts walking along so that he is pretty much leaning on the piano by "I told Dumbledore...". But as soon as the shot changes from Severus to Sirius, you can see that Lupin is nowhere near the piano.

GoF has some awful editing!

I think the only obvious mistake they've done was in the OOTP, where Ginny exclaims "levicorpus". And levicorpus wasn't even mentioned until HBP!

Well, i think that that's actually a book to movie "mistake", because for the purposes of the movie, they could have learnt it in class or something.

I noticed in CoS, when Ron and Harry open the door up to Hagrid's hut, a crew member is visible ducking out of view in the back of the cabin.

Also, in PoA, this is an odd one. Between 17-18 minutes on the DVD, when Mr. Weasley is walking with Harry and telling him that Sirius is after him, they walk by a poster saying "Have you seen this wizard?" For just a second, a number flashes on the bare wall beneath that poster (it's on a pillar). It looks like 401.

When Harry told Lupin about the spell, he said spells go "in and out of fashion." Just because Harry didn't discover it until HBP doesn't mean no one else knew about it. If It was around during the Marauder's time, it would have been easy enough for one of the current kids to pick it up.

I think that you've missed the point of the thread slightly:

I've never noticed this. I always get too involved in the film I'll look out for it...

On the bare wall? Wow, never noticed that one! I'd noticed the numbers on Sirius' poster change. That's strange.

At the beginning of CoS when Harry is looking at the photo album that Hagrid gave him he comes to a picture of himself, Ron, and Hermione. It was clearly taken a fair way into the CoS but it's meant to be from PS. It's so obviously not though

Hermione used magic in diogon alley, in cos. She used occulus reparo on Harry's glasses, even though underage magic isnt alond. But did Hermione have a hearing? I think not!

Perhaps Hermione knew she would get away with it, given that there are always adult wizards in Diagon Alley. After all, the Ministry only registers magic around underage wizards but can't tell who the caster was. Nevertheless, it is out of character for Hermione to break rules.

In the third film, after the hippogriff incident, The ghosts are going through the window and they break it.....
Is that what ghosts do? no..

It seemed to me rather a illusion than a real breaking of the window.

[sirius_lee_G]

you mean it didn't break? Yes it did... didn't it? there was a crash and it broke.. and it fell and had a big gap ,no?

First I have no idea and please don't quote me on this, it's just the way I see it. Not sure if that's really the case.

Well, yes the window shattered, but IMO that wasn't a real window. Just an illusion, a Fata Morgana.

[Fairygdmther]

Yes it's a mirage. The window broke, but if you look closely, there is no broken glass on the floor, either afterwards or between the two horse and riders came in.
