Corrected entry: In the Shrieking Shack, just after Scabbers becomes Pettigrew, when Sirius and Lupin pull him out of the hole, as the camera faces Pettigrew's back while they hold him, the blue tape on his 'missing' finger is visible for 2 frames. (It is necessary to go frame-by-frame.) (01:31:30)

Corrected entry: When Harry is riding Buckbeak for the first time over the lake, the sun is at their left but in the last shot when Buck turns right, the sun is now at their right.
Correction: After Buckbeak and Harry fly out of the paddock and towards the castle, there's an overhead wide shot of the water below and it's clear Buckbeak does not fly in a straight line, he's following the path of the water with numerous twists and turns. The sun's position changes with Harry's "Woo hoo!" in the first shot, followed by more loud screams in the 2nd shot, and then in the last shot, with another "Woo hoo!" From shot to shot, these are not one long continuous scream and since Buckbeak is turning with the path of the lake, it is obvious that their direction is changing as they fly over the water. Each of the consecutive shots as they fly is not their entire flight, as is even apparent in the next two shots when Buckbeak is back near the paddock already.

Corrected entry: In Dursleys' house, Harry yells at Aunt Marge and she breaks her glass, but the base is still intact after that. When Harry goes to wipe the table, it has disappeared. (00:03:35)
Correction: When the crystal brandy goblet actually breaks, while in Marge's grasp, there is no clear view of the supposed intact base, in the shot facing Marge and the next one facing Vernon, nor is there a view of where it lands. In the next two close-ups of Marge, as she tells Petunia not to worry and then snaps her fingers at Harry to clean it up, the table is visible and the base is not visible at all in the shots. The only glass base on the table, in front of Marge, is one that is intact on the tall crystal goblet.

Corrected entry: When Ron and Hermione finds Harry crying on a rock, you can see that Harry's footprints stops right in front of the rock. The only way that he could have achieved that is by jumping and turning in the air before sitting, without touching the snow.
Correction: Not necessarily. He could have stopped in front of the rock, climbed up, then turned around when he was on the rock. Perfectly possible.

Corrected entry: When Harry is watching outside the window on the Hogwart Express, you can see the reflection of his face and the camera on the window. (00:22:55)
Correction: The reflection we see is definitely not of a camera. It's the reflection of the doorway and the long shiny silver door handle.

Corrected entry: When Harry, Hermione and Ron enter the compartment on the Hogwart Express, there's only liquid in the the bottom of the bottle next to Prof. Lupin, but when the Dementors arrives, the level is higher.
Correction: The liquid in the bottle stays the same throughout the whole scene. However, the base of the window can be seen through the bottle near the bottom and it looks like this is the water level.

Corrected entry: When the Dementors are entering the Hogwart Express, the lights in the compartment where Harry and his friends are, are turned off but when there's a view from outside, the lights are suddenly on.
Correction: Different compartment. There are several compartments with light in them when we see the train from outside, and one by one they go out.
