Joe Shmoe I thought that at too at first. But the time turner sequence happens after the winter (hogsmeade trip etc.) so it would be in spring. I know, I know, Hogwarts is magical ... but it bugs me whenever I see it

Thats what happens when you watch it more than any one person should be allowed

If you go onto some of the bigger sites, like mugglenet or Warner Bros (or snitchseeker.com) then you can find a huge list of over 200 mistakes. I can't remeber all of them, but here a few.
In the scene where Snape is the sub for Lupin, Hermione's hair switches between being up and down. Her hair style keeps changing.
When Snape finds the mauraders map on Harry, the ties on Harry's sweatshirt are first tied, then dangling down, then tied agian, and so on. It happens againg in the room with Lupin
When Hermione first says "I thought I saw....never mind." Her voice was a lot higher than the second (time-turner) time.
When Hagrid skips the stones, there aren't any ripples from the stones, only him.
In the beginning, you can see the strip on Harry's bed that was used to create the "Lumos" light.
The second time Hermione hit Malfoy (Whoohoo!) She hits him differently and turns away differently.
(Supposedly) When Hermione jumps over the Whomping Willow's branch. you can see the harness on her hip.
When they go down to see Buckbeak the 1st time, it rains for about 2 minutes, then stops. The second time it keeps on raining for a while. (But they couldn't help the weather conditions.)
On the Knight Bus, Harry's sweatshirt is wet after he falls over, but then it's "magically" dry!
That's all I remeber for now.
hope it helps

A lot of people are talking abot time mistakes. they say that its 12 o'clock, and then we they turn back in time its 7:30.
they say that that's a mistake, cos dumbledore is talking about 'three times should do it'
And from 12 till 7:30 is 4,5 hour.
but what if 1 time is 1,5 hour??
then 3 times is 4,5 hour, so that is right then.. what do you think?

im sorry if somebody already pointed this out but:
When harry and hermione go back in time in the film, they hide behind the stone wall and watch malfoy and his freinds run away after hermione punched him,if you look carefully you could see emma's microphone pack attached to her jeans under her shirt
any body catch that?

I hope there isn't a post like this yet. I didn't see one.
Anyway did anyone notice a mistake. Whether from book to movie or just a mistake. They were plenty. I've read about some but I never read about this one. Did anyone notice that during the first Hogmeade trip Ginny was in the group? She's only a second year in PoA and its for 3rd years and up. Tell me what you think. |
there were alot of mastakes in harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban movie. one thing harry got the firebolt for christmas and not at the end of the year.
second when harry was learning to do the patronuse spell he did not think of his parents he thought of the first time he rode a broom.

But hermione then said: "who has Voldemort always feard?"
Hermione never say "Voldemort" before in book five. So why did the director
writ theis in the script. All wizard's and Wiche's fear the name, they wont dear speking it.

I haven`t noticed any mistakes. There are some things that are not exactly the same as in the book, but that isn`t a mistake - the director just wanted to make the movie understandable even for people that haven`t read the book.

Hey now, do you really think that's a suitable comment to make in a PG forum? Not to mention that there's nothing in the books about it anyway. HP isn't a smut-fest you know.
And please don't post advertising links in your posts unless they are relevant to the topic. Check the rules.
BTW..I should note that Mazen has edited his post since I made mine, which now kind of looks ridiculous.
Not a happy bunny, Mazen. Did you really think I wouldn't notice?

because the scene probably played out better by saying Voldemort

the actors had jsut spent all day doing scenes that envolve saying Voldemort and just continued to when filming later that day and nobody realised.

hm you mabe right, but it just iritating me because Voldemort is a name that almost every wich and wizards fears and dear not say. Voldemort doesn't seem so terrifying if eberyone speaks about him as a day-today activity.Voldemort is a highest unusual subject to speak about in the wizarding world. Understanding me?

Feb 21 2005, 03:02 PM
Yes, there were A LOT of mistakes:
* Hermione is suppose to have puffy bushy hair, not sleek curls
* Hermione was suppose to SLAP Malfoy
* Hermione was suppose to SLAP Malfoy because he called Hagrid "pathetic" because that was part of the problem
* Hermione is suppose to be in preppy clothes
* When Malfoy got slapped/punched, he was suppose to take it as a man and kinda groan "Cmon" in a mad way.
* Draco was suppose to have sleek gelled back hair (his hair in PoA was kinda cute though)

Of all the mistakes that bug the monkeys out of me, the very first scene of the film has got to be the worst.
Why is Harry doing magic outside of Hogwarts?? You get arrested within a couple of hours for any spells. Why is he casting a wake the Dursleys up spell?

dazzo wasn't harry doing magic before he even got into hogwarts didn't it ay that it happens in the sorserer's sotne. yes now i remember it did say this because the gass vanished and dudley nad his friend polkis or whatever his name was fell through the glass
Darren
Feb 26 2005, 05:07 PM
Yes, but that wasn’t predetermined magic that was done on purpose by Harry. And with no one to tell him off, he wasn’t to know that wishing for his cousin to end up inside the snake tank was a bad thing.
I see no difference between casting a protection spell and casting a bright light spell. Both are noticeable by the muggles.

I like what you are saying "luna", it is true all witchs and wizards fears and dare not say his name. However if someone point that out to the director or even J.K.Rowling, i think they will see the big mistake and just ignore. Good on yeah to notice it, i have to admit it i didn't

. or the director or script writer wanted it, oh no but it is a mistake and I didn't like the fact that Hermione said the name, but it happened and there is nothing anyone can do about it now.

Mar 15 2005, 08:09 PM
This is arguable. Shouldn't the head shot have been taken shortly after he was arrested? I mean, they're not about to take photos of him halfway through his prison sentence... Sirius couldn't have looked like a bearded, long haired, aged loony man when he was arrested - he was supposed to be handsome, young (early 20s!) etc.
I don't know, like I said - it's arguable. What do you guys think?
Darren
Mar 15 2005, 08:44 PM
yeah, a lot of films tend to do that. It because they don't want people getting confused with character recognition (not that anyone would mistake Gary Oldman).
not that it's a partcular movie mistake as such;
I have noticed more and more that the Hermione double's hair is straighter than Emma's in the scenes, it's quite easy to tell when it's Emma and when it's not.

Didnt Hermoine grow up in a family of muggles, so she would, like Harry not be affraid of saying his name, once she went to school she found out about voldemort just like Harry, and he doesnt fear his name so why should she, voldemort did absolutely nthing to her, so why should she fear his name.

Little things like this happen because there isnt no need for it. Well only for the die hard fans anyways. Well have you seen that in the first film in all the classes there is all four houses and in the books they do lessons with only one other house. Little things like this get over looked

Yeah, it´s little weard. but the book and the film is´nt the same!
I mean, they maybe liked to change something in the film who was´nt in the book...
but it´s possible, too, that they maybe did wrong!

Two small mistakes that I noticed were: when harry comes into the room at the leaky cauldren ( the one where he meets fugde) Tom says: You've got a right smart bird there mr. potter, he arived just a few moments before yourself.
Hegwig, of coarse, is a girl.
Another was when Harry and Hermione were trying to get buckbeak out of the pumkin patch, Dumbledore, fudge and the others come walking out of Hagrid's house and Dumbledore starts talking to Fudge and pointing to things, he says: You see those strawberries there? Profeser Dippet had those planted when he was headmaster.
Again it's a simple gender problem, Dippet was Headmistress before Dumbledore became Headmaster.

Jun 8 2005, 07:25 AM
Yeah, saying Voldermort's name in the first movie is a mistake. I agree that because it's a movie but still, it's a sort of basic thing. No one else aside from Harry and Dumbledore could speak his name.

the books and movies are different. there somehow mistakes and we should not expect that there should be no mistakes in the films.
mistakes are parts of films right?
but a scriptwriter should be very keen of that so that fans like us would not question!

Mabey I'm just being a little too picky but if ya wanted to know there's already a mistake in the Goblet of Fire movie. Look at pictures of harry and Pavarti at the Yule Ball, Pavarti is in the wrong color of dress (and her hair is wrong too

.) pg 412 of GOF says "She (Pavarti) looked very preety indeed, in robes of shocking pink, with her long dark plait braided with gold and gold breacelets glimmereing at her rists." Parvarti's dress is more like an orange but I noticed that thought you might want to know!

Jun 20 2005, 12:49 AM
Yeah..I also noticed that Hermione's dress was the wrong color. It said in the book that it was a pretty periwinkle material, but in the movie preview her dress was light pink...And there's a big difference between periwinkle (being a sort of grayish blue) and light pink...

Ehh... I think this really depends on how you're defining a 'mistake' in the movie. All of the backstory about the Marauders was eliminated from the 'Prisoner of Azkaban' movie -- do you consider that a mistake or a conscious directorial decision? In my opinion, things like the color of Hermione's dress are not mistakes, but simply differences between the book and the movie. A true mistake is something that was wrong in terms of the filming, for example, Hermione's hair style keeps changing in the scene where Snape is subbing for Lupin's class, or a continuity error -- there are a bunch of those in the Time-Turner sequence. Now, I'm as picky about the books being the same as the movies as anybody, but I still think we have to reserve judgment with regard to mistakes in the movie until we actually
see the movie. And we'll call Hermione's dress 'creative license.'
Lulu
Jun 20 2005, 05:30 PM
I really don't think that the color of Parvati's dress not being shockpink is a mistake. It's probably going to be wonderfull and as Anthony said "it's the difference between the books and the moovies" so it really doesn't matter, does it? I think it will fit perfect to the rest of the yuleball sceen and if it looks good it's good, right?
I know the book said it was shoking pink but would you really consider that a mistake? I think that they know the color actually was pink in the book but it fitted better with that color in that sceen. I'm sure the diretor's have their reason to why they chose a different color, aight?
Anglophile92
Jun 20 2005, 08:23 PM
like lulu said i don't think the colour of her dress count as a mistake. Big deal! it's just a colour. Now i can get picky like any other harry potter fan, but it's just a colour. now if it was something that was a major thing that deals with the plot then i would count that as a HUGE mistake....
