The magical towel
Another case of: That doesn’t make sense. In the fourth part, Harry completes the second task of the Triwizard Tournament. Afterward, he dries himself off with a towel on the pier. Next to him stands Hermione and has… the same towel? And now, after the cut, it is again with Harry?
It’s confusing. If you look closely at the scene, it becomes clear that the towel happily changes owners without being passed on. At one point, Hermione has it around her neck, and then it’s back to Harry.
How can the mistake happen? Here, two things come together. On the one hand, different takes where the actors handled the towel differently, and on the other hand, the editing room was probably a bit inattentive and combined takes that differed in terms of the towel.
This created a classic continuity error, as often occurs in films.
