There is a scene where
Harry is holding the letter from Sirius
and we can hear Sirius's voice reading
the letter. The words on the letter
are different from the words we hear
Sirius reading. Particularly the end
where Sirius says, "P.S. The bird bites"
the letter says, "By the way, the bird
bites."

When Fred or George passes
the note to Ron during the study hall,
the style of writing on the note changes
between shots. The number of lines it
took to write the sentence changes from
four to three.

After Harry overhears
the conversation between Snape and Karkaroff,
Snape holds up the small glass bottle
of Veritaserum while he accuses Harry
of stealing from his store of ingredients.
The way Snape holds the bottle repeatedly
differs between the close-ups facing
Harry and close-ups facing Snape.

When Fred and George pass
Ron the note in the Great Hall encouraging
him get a date before all the good ones
are gone, the writing is on the top

it appears that the writing is a bit
lower on the sheet of paper.

After Harry comes out
of the pensieve, Dumbledore stares straight
ahead while he is talking, as if Harry
is clear across the room, rather than
looking directly at Harry. In the next
shot, however, Dumbledore's body is
turned slightly, and he's leaning down,
looking directly at Harry, yet no time
has passed

times.

Mistakes in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

In the Quidditch scene,
Harry breaks his right arm, but as he sits up after
he falls off his broom, he leans directly on it.
|

|
In the first film, we see that Susan
Bones (the red haired girl) is sorted into Hufflepuff,
however throughout the Chamber of Secrets, Susan
not only has her classes with the Gryffindors BUT
is also wearing a Gryffindor tie.
|
|
*
|
In the scene where the
Chamber finally opens, we first see Harry, Ron and
Professor Lockhart from the front, and Harry and
Ron are slightly behind Lockhart, and in a position
to threaten and guard him. When you next see them
a moment later from behind, Lockhart is behind them
and they are in no position to guard him.
|

|
When Harry first hears the whispering
voice and is walking down the hallway feeling the
wall as the voice gets louder. Notice he has a round
red mark on the back of his right hand. In the next
shot it's gone.
|
|
*
|
When Lockhart falls down
the hole into the Chamber of Secrets, we hear him
hit the ground a second or two later. When Ron and
Harry jump down, not only do they take longer to
get down, they also slide down the pipe, rather
than fall straight down.

When Harry is coming up
from the trapdoor in cellar in Honeydukes, a crew
member is visible just underneath Harry, giving
him a push upwards.

During the dinner scene at the Dursleys,
Dudley is shown in a close-up watching a game-show
where a young woman is putting on large headphones.
But when the shot returns to the whole room, you
can see the girl on the TV putting on the headphones
all over again. .
|
|

|
In the scene when all
the kids are leaving for Hogsmeade, you can see
that Harry's face is pressed against the inside
of the big clock tower overlooking the entrance
to Hogwarts. Later on in the movie, when Harry and
Hermione are back in time, the camera zooms through
the same clock and you can see that the back is
covered by lots of equipment. How did Harry have
his face pressed against the glass?.

When Harry goes back to Hogwarts
and they stand before the Fat Lady portrait she
refuses to let them in because she's trying to show
them she can break a glass with her voice. When
she cannot she smashes it upon a brick wall behind
her right shoulder. Later in the movie after the
students gather around the Fat Lady's painting after
it's slashed the wall is missing..

The first stone Hermione
throws into Hagrid's hut changes size. It is much
larger when she picks it up the first time than
when she is seen throwing it later in the movie.
