Continuity mistake: After Ron is eliminated by the white queen, Harry moves two squares back and stands next to the black bishop. However, after the shot switches to Hermione and again to Harry, the latter now finds himself just in front of the white king, well away from his previous place, at the moment he says 'Checkmate'. Just after this, the white queen can be seen lying next to Harry as the white king's sword falls to the ground; however, she is never heard to fall.
