Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1

Corrected entry: When Harry is looking through the files in Umbridge's office, he pauses at Dumbledore's profile. The file claims that Dumbledore's blood status is "Half-Blood," but he is in fact a "Pure Blood", because his father was a wizard and his mother was a witch.

Correction: That does not make him a "pure-blood." If you recall, Harry's father was a wizard and his mother a witch, but Harry is considered a "half-blood" because Lily Potter's parents were non-magical. The same may be true about Dumbledore's lineage. If either his witch mother or wizard father was muggle-born, or they had a parent who was, then he would indeed be a "half-blood." A wizard has to have a long (and in-bred) history of only magical ancestors to be considered "pure-blood."

Corrected entry: Before the wedding, Ginny asks Harry to zip up her dress, which he does. When the camera zooms out, the zipper is not all the way up, but when she turns to look at her older brother, it is all the way up.

Correction: Harry zips the dress all the way up right from the start, and it is all the way up the whole time. Also, the camera doesn't zoom out at any point in that scene.

Corrected entry: Throughout the film, the length of Hermione's hair changes drastically. There are times when she has short crunched hair (above shoulder length), other times when she has a very long pony tail (five or six inches below the shoulder, and there are scenes when Hermione's hair is down and in between these two lengths (an inch or two below the shoulder).

Correction: Sometimes her hair is straight and sometimes it is curly. This can make a huge difference in the length of a person's hair.

Corrected entry: Throughout the movie, every character but Harry incorrectly refers to the Weasley residence as "The Burrows". It is actually called "The Burrow", as Harry says in the cafe scene, and as stated in Chamber of Secrets.

Correction: Considering how easy it is for people in real life to accidentally add an "S" to the end of the word, as there are many instances where an "S" is added to a word grammarly, it's not unlikely this would happen with the real characters. Perfectly reasonable character mishaps over grammar are hardly mistakes as we can't expect imperfect characters to be perfect solely because it's a movie.

Revealing mistake: Throughout almost the whole movie Harry's glasses don't have lenses in them. Only in two or so scenes do they appear.

Trivia: The reason Crabbe was not in the Deathly Hallows part 1 or 2 was because he was arrested because of marijuana and drugs he had and grew in his home. So that other kid was replicated but you can tell the difference.

Question: Ron, Harry, and Hermione use polyjuice potion a lot. I'm confused as to how this is. In The Chamber of Secrets it is revealed that it takes a month to make. It would seem unlikely that Hermione would carry around a cauldron and potion ingredients and waste a month making the potion after they had a plan. If Hermione had made them over the summer, she would have only had time to make a few before she would have to leave with Harry and Ron. How do they get all their polyjuice potion?

Jennifer Smith

Chosen answer: It's explained a little more in the book. Hermione swiped Mad-Eye Moody's stock of the potion when Mrs. Weasley wasn't looking. And it's possible that, when they ran low, she simply replicated it with a Doubling Charm.
