It’s blisssss.
Anyway, you guys wanted more Harry Potter Movie Mistakes and I have some for ya!
I love love love Harry Potter, but as with any movie it is not free from little boo boos.
So let’s giggle at the goofs they made.
Wands out, it’s time for the Top 10 Harry Potter Movie Mistakes…
Part 2!
Number 10: The case of the missing shrubbery.
In Prisoner of Azkaban, when we saw the outside of #4 Privet Drive, we saw a bench and window
next to some shrubbery.
But then later when Vernon comes back out chasing after Aunt Marge, the shrubbery is
gone!
Where did it go?
Did the bench eat it?
Was it stolen?
I need answers!
Side note: Is this even shrubbery?
I think it is, but maybe it’s a bush.
If anyone knows plants, let me know!
Some Knights have been bugging me about it.
Number 9: Toast.
Here’s one from Goblet of Fire that is… well, it’s not really a big deal, if I’m
being honest.
When Harry’s eating breakfast, we can see a rack with toast on it.
Unfortunately, as so often happens, the amount of toast changed from shot to shot, since
the scene was a combination of a number of takes.
Continuity errors like this are pretty common, especially in a scene with a bunch of hungry
teens who want to eat all the toast.
Number 8: Voldemort’s sleeve.
This is another mistake from Goblet of Fire, and strangely it involves the veteran actor
Ralph Fiennes.
When Voldemort is being a jerk and touching Harry’s forehead, in one shot his sleeve
is rolled down to his shoulder.
But right after, the sleeve is rolled up again.
(Change sleeves) It’s just surprising that he wouldn’t notice this.
(Change sleeves) How hard is it to not realize your sleeves keep changing from shot to shot?
(Change sleeves or take off overshirt) Have some pride in your work!
(Maybe in a dress?)
Number 7: The New Room of Requirement.
In Deathly Hallows Part 1, we see Dobby and Kreature adorably return to Grimmault Place
with Mundungus Fletcher.
It’s a great scene, and the room looks super cool and well dressed, but in two different
shots while they enter, we can see that the table has different items on it from one shot
to the other.
But hey, these things are to be expected in a magical world, I suppose.
Number 6: The revenge of Peeves.
In Philosopher’s Stone, when the kids are fighting the troll in the bathroom, we see
a shot of a towel behind them that’s all folded and crooked.
But in the next shot, the towel’s looking prim and proper.
The only possibility I can think of is that Peeves was so angry at being left out of the
movie that he got his revenge in the evilest way possible: By, folding a towel, a little
bit.
And fixing it again right after.
(Rub hands) Haha, I’ve ruined your precious continuity!
Number 5: Dudley’s duds.
In Order of the Phoenix, we see that Dudley grew up to look exactly how you’d expect
a child bully to look, complete with the shorts with logos all over the place.
But later on in the tunnel, we see that he’s wearing a DIFFERENT pair of shorts with logos
all over the place.
Bit of a whoopsies by the costume department I guess, but the only thing worse than owning
a stupid pair of shorts like that is owning TWO stupid pairs of shorts like that.
C’mon Dudders.
Number 4: WHERE’S THE BOX??!
When the gang was having that fight in the diner in Deathly Hallows part 1, they weren’t
exactly careful with their spells.
Glass is smashed, tables are blasted, and pizza boxes go flying.
But apparently one of the boxes just couldn’t be stopped, because it managed to find its
way back onto the shelf between shots.
Then it’s gone again.
Number 3: What’s on the nooooote?
Yep, gonna make two Seven references in one video.
Come at me.
In Goblet of Fire, we see one of the twins pass a note to Ron that says “Get a move
on or all the good ones will have gone”.
Yeah, not trying the accent, I’ve embarrassed myself enough.
But the thing is, when we first see it, there are clearly 4 lines of writing on it, but
when Ron reads it there are only 3 lines.
WHAT DID THE FIRST NOTE SAY???
I must know, but it’s too blurry to see.
If anyone has superman eyes, please let me know, I bet it’s hilarious.
Number 2: Harry Changes Sides.
Don’t worry, I don’t mean he started working for Voldemort.
Although you would know that since you presumably know Harry Potter if you’re watching this
video…
Look, it was a bad joke, let’s just move on.
Anyway, in Philosopher’s stone when Harry first sits at the Gryffindor table, he sits
opposite Hermione.
But then later when the food arrives, he’s on the other side next to Percy.
This is like… such a huge mistake, I don’t really understand how it made it through.
I GUESS it’s possible that he changed sides between him sitting and the food appearing,
but like… why would he?
Number 1: Oooo magic candles!
Way back in Philosopher’s stone, we were introduced to Hogwarts, the magical castle
where magical things happen and everything is magic!
One of these magic things was the candles!
They floated like magic!
But sadly, when McGonagall is rallying the teachers to find the troll in the dungeons,
you can very clearly see the wires that were holding the candles up.
That’s it for today!
