Harry Potter has made it into eight movies that provide very good entertainment. Nevertheless, they are not perfect. Some of the biggest film mistakes are shown in this article.
What counts as a film mistake? We mean inconsistencies that occurred during filming and made it into the finished film. Sometimes they are really obvious, in other cases, you have to look closely to discover them.
Some of the mistakes we’ve listed may only have been noticed by particularly attentive viewers during the first viewing.
However, we explicitly mean not content errors or deviations from the book. There are indeed some, the biggest differences can be found in a dedicated list on MeinMMO.
We are more interested in the small and big blunders that the creators themselves did not notice during the editing process and that made it into the final theatrical version.
Hermione’s Hair in “The Sorcerer’s Stone”
At Hogwarts, a special wind seems to be blowing. At least, you get this impression when you look closely at Hermione’s hairstyle in the first film. Sometimes her hair changes as if by magic after a cut.
Want an example? During the first flying lesson, her hair is smooth in one shot, but after the next cut, a distinct crinkle pattern is visible. Hermione is indeed a witch, but it cannot be assumed that she has mastered this trick at the very beginning of her first school year.
How can the mistake happen? It is an obvious film mistake likely due to the long filming time. The scene was probably shot over several days, and different takes were combined in the edit. Unfortunately, it was forgotten that Hermione’s hair was styled differently on different days.
