Suggested correction: The skeleton could easily been washed away by the tsunami, it was definitely strong enough.

Agreed. The tsunami has enough force to move the remains. Especially as it appears to be a magical tsunami designed to wipe away whatever caused it.

Suggested correction: The camera is never reflected in the mirror Harry is holding.

Continuity mistake: When Voldemort and his followers return for the final battle with Hagrid carrying Harry, the remaining building structure has fires in each section. When Harry and Voldemort land there during their duel, the fires are gone.

Mistakes

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.

Questions

Question: I don't really understand how Voldemort dies. The scene shows Harry and Voldemort fighting with the two spells - Expelliarmus and Avada Kedavra - and the spells collide. Then Harry disarms Voldemort and catches the wand, and then Voldemort just dies. Can anyone tell me why he dies?

Answer: It's a little complicated. Voldemort actually died by his own hand, though unintentionally. Voldemort believed he commanded the Elder Wand and cast the Avada Kedavra curse at Harry with it. However, Harry was actually the Elder Wand's master. Because wands are somewhat sentient, the Elder Wand recognized Harry as his master, so the killing curse rebounded off him, and went back to Voldemort, striking him dead. All of Voldemort's Horcruxes had been destroyed, so he was no longer protected by them. At the same time, Harry cast the Expelliarmus charm, causing the Elder Wand to be ejected from Voldemort's hand into his.
