Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2

Other mistake: In both the books and the movies, Harry's Invisibility Cloak can always be seen until it is worn. In Diagon Alley, just before the Gringott's break-in, Ron pulls out the cloak to cover Harry and Griphook, but it turns invisible before he puts it on them. Ron merely mimes the motion of covering them.

Other mistake: In Snape's memories, Trelawny's prophecy is the wrong one. If you listen closely you can hear her saying "master shall be reunited once more". That's the prophecy that she told Harry in PoA, not the first prophecy Snape half-overheard Trelawny telling Dumbledore.

Other mistake: In the final scene when Harry and Voldemort "connect" their wands, there is a close-up of Harry's face. Although the only light source seems to be the ball of fire between him and Voldemort, Harry's face is lit from his left.

Plot hole: Immediately after the confrontation between Harry/McGonagall and Snape in the Great Hall, Harry runs up to Ravenclaw tower against crowds of students running the opposite direction. However, all the students would have been in the Great Hall during that confrontation, and therefore would have been coming from the same direction as Harry.

Trivia: In the scene where Hagrid has dropped a "dead" Harry Potter, look quickly at George. He turns his head to the right and yells "Fred!" Fred has already been killed by Bellatrix Lestrange so it seems he may have forgotten this in a moment of grief.

Question: After Voldemort's death, is anyone able to teach Defense Against Dark Arts for more than a year?

Answer: Yes. According to J.K. Rowling in interviews, the curse Voldemort had cast on the Defense Against the Dark Arts position preventing any teacher lasting more than one year, was finally broken upon his death, and from then on any instructor lasted beyond twelve months.
