Movie Mistakes

Movie Mistakes from Philosopher's Stone Movie
From Mugglenet.com

Right after Harry sees the Mirror of Erised for the first time, the
second time he comes back with Ron, he drops the cloak right by the
door. Once they run a little further ahead, you can see the green cloth
(aka Invisibility cloak) they used for computer imaging lying on the
floor.


In the scene where the trio enters the commom room after being
confronted by Fluffy, you can see the feet of the crew member who shut
the door behind them.


In the flashback, when Voldemort kills Harry's parents, baby Harry
can sit up and has hair, yet the baby Dumbledore places on the
Dursleys' doorstep is much younger. -- Thanks to Matt!


When Dumbledore is using the Put-Outer, from one shot, the
streetlight closest to him, on his right, is still lit; a few shots
later in a close-up, that light is out even though Dumbledore never put
the light out.


On Dudley's birthday, when Mrs. Dursley wakes Harry and he sits up
in bed, a cloth and hand brush are hanging inside the cupboard door.
When Dudley shoves Harry back into the cupboard, you see a cloth and a
dustpan, but no brush. When the family arrives from the zoo and Mr.
Dursley locks Harry in the cupboard, none of the three are present.


When Dudley is told how many presents he has and asks, "How many are
there?" a cut to him shows that his fringe is a bit untidy. The shot
cuts to Vernon, and when it cuts back to Dudley, his fringe is much
neater.

When Harry receives his first letter, Dudley snatches it from him
before he has a chance to open it. Dudley then gives it to Uncle
Vernon, who says, "Who'd be writing to you?" Watch Dudley carefully -
he's mouthing the line.


When Harry and the Dursleys are in the living room while it is being
showered with letters, Harry jumps up on the table to seize a letter.
Watch his hand: he is already holding one.

Right after Hagrid gives Dudley a tail, Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia
and Dudley run around and out of sight - they seemingly disappear.


After Hagrid gives Dudley a tail, watch him in the background while
Dudley runs around. You can see it's not Robbie Coltrane, but a double
with a beard.


When Harry and Hagrid are in Gringotts, Hagrid takes the letter from
Professor Dumbledore from his pocket to give to the Head Goblin. The
string it is tied with has a bow that runs from the top to bottom of
the envelope, and the envelope is creased. When the Goblin takes it,
the envelope is different -- the bow runs from left to right, and the
envelope is not creased. In addition, the "TOP SECRET" stamp is
positioned differently on each envelope, and the string in each
instance covers a different part of the stamp. When viewed from where
Harry and Hagrid are standing, the final shot of the envelope again
shows it as being creased.


The Hogwarts Express leaves from platform nine and three-quarters,
between platforms nine and ten at King's Cross Station, London. The
platforms shown in the film as nine and ten are, in fact, four and five
(the only platforms that have a wall between them as shown in the
film). The real platforms nine and ten are in a separate part of the
real station. In addition, when Hagrid and Harry are on the footbridge,
they are walking towards platform one, away from both the real
platforms nine and ten and the film's platforms nine and ten. No wonder
Harry feels lost when Hagrid leaves him to find the train on his own!


When Hermione first meets Harry and Ron, she fixes Harry's glasses.
But two or three scene cuts earlier there is no tape around his
glasses. It reappears in time for Hermione to fix.


On the train to Hogwarts, Hermione tells Harry and Ron that they need to get
their school clothes on, as they will arrive soon. It is daytime outside. Yet
the train arrives at Hogsmeade Station when it's dark - clearly not soon after Hermione told them to change.


After Harry is sorted into Gryffindor at the start of term feast, he
sits down on the right side of the table next to Ron. When the feast
appears, Harry is on the other side of the table, next to Hermione.


In the scene where Harry and the other first-years come into the
Great Hall for the first time, Oliver Wood is sitting on the table to
right of the camera. In that shot, there are other students next to
him; but in the next shot, the other students are gone and Wood is on
the corner of the table!


In the scene where Harry and Ron rush into McGonagall's classroom,
she transfigures from a cat on her desk to herself, walking towards them. In the
first shot, we see the left side of her face, and she is not wearing glasses.
When the shot changes so that she's facing Harry and Ron and we see the right
side of her face, her glasses appear out of nowhere.


When Harry is taking notes in Potions class, he finishes writing all
of the words to Snape's speech just as Snape turns to him. But when
Hermione nudges him several seconds later, he is still writing.


In Potions class when Snape is talking, a shot showed Harry's
handwriting to be small and the lines rather close together. In the
next faraway shot, Harry's handwriting is huge and spaced out.


When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are on the staircases, watch the pictures on
the right: they are not moving at first, but when the camera changes, all of the pictures move.


In the flying class scene, Hermione's hair is crimped. Later, when
you see the class looking at Neville after his fall, you see that her
hair is straight. The very next shot she's in, her hair's crimped again.

I knew there were mistakes, but i had no idea that htere was that many.

The last one about her hair is a typical movie mistake. different parts of 1 scene filmed on different days, then they hope no one will notice anything wrong with it... Well they are wrong. Poeople do notice

Yeah ... and there's many more on Mugglenet.com.

I knew there were going to be screw ups. Making a movie from a book.. there is always going to be be millions of little mistakes
