Hey Arnold!
Hey Arnold! mistake picture

Show generally

Continuity mistake: When the four boys form their line (just before the adults call out "Arnold"), watch Harold's tooth; it goes from the right side of his mouth (as you look at him) to his left side.

Continuity mistake: The first time you see the line of girls, Rhonda's shoes are "low-cut", but just before Helga says "Move it, football head", the shoes suddenly extend much higher (like they normally do in the stories).

Show generally

Continuity mistake: Harold's age is inconsistent throughout the series. Harold has his Bar Mitzvah in "Harold's Bar Mitzvah", establishing that he is 13 years old, and in "Hey Harold!", he tells Patty that he was held back a couple years, which is why he is still in fourth grade. However, in "Helga on the Couch", he is shown in the same preschool class as the other kids, and in "The Journal", he is shown playing in the park with the other kids, and he is a baby just like all of them.

Suggested correction: It's possible that Harold wasn't the only student held back, even though he's older than his classmates. Just a thought.

So? How does that justify him being in the same preschool class as the other kids?

He was probably held back in preschool but was not mentioned.

Fair enough, but he is also in "The Journal" which took place before the kids were in preschool. He is shown playing with the other kids as a baby, and there is no sign of an age difference, even though he is supposed to be 4 years older than them at most. All the other main kid characters are around 9 years old in the fourth grade. It's highly unlikely that Harold would be around those kids as a baby.

Rhonda: She asked you to do WHAT to my Caprini cardigan?
Lila: Snip the tags out?
[Helga grabs Lila].
Helga: Lila, what are you doing? You're not supposed to ask her!
Lila: I just didn't feel right about destroying Rhonda's personal property... without getting her permission first. It seemed, well, ever so wrong.
Helga: Yeah, well, guess what? You're ever so FIRED!

Answer: No, he did not. He is seen getting off the bus with a suitcase, so he must have not been home for a few days so there is no way he could have known.
