Continuity mistake: At the beginning of the movie, you see that the baby Matilda's eyes are brown, but they change colour to blue when she's in the car.

Suggested correction: It was just the lighting. The sun was shining through the window in the morning.

Audio problem: When Zinnia combs back Harry's hair with the grey stuff in it, we see her lips moving, but we hear Michael's voice.

Suggested correction: At 00:34:00, Zinnie combs Harry's hair, and she says to him, "Come here. OK." It is 100% her voice that we hear, and not Michael's.

Suggested correction: Clearly no sign of it.

Suggested correction: When the TV set explodes, it's a close-up of the screen and no device is seen. When it changes to a wider shot of the actual explosion, the glass breaks and some components of the TV set are shown. There is no way to distinguish between what is a component and what is, as you say, an explosive.

Suggested correction: Well, there was a pole attached to the bottom of the pitcher, which was used to make it levitate, and it was edited out in post. But there is no visible shadow of the pole in any of the shots.

Visible crew/equipment: Two wires can be seen attached to Lavender (because light shines on them) as she floats back to the ground after the Trunchbull charged towards her. This is only visible on video, and has been taken out of the DVD, although you can (barely) see the shadow of the equipment letting her down on the wall behind her.

Question: Is that a tissue stuck in Miss Honey's watch band? And if it is, why is it there?

Answer: That's where a proper lady keeps her tissue/handkerchief by rules of etiquette.

Rlvlk

Answer: As stated above it is a tissue and kept there as etiquette. You actually see her use and replace the tissue on a couple of occasions.
