1. How did Hermione
know it was Harry Potter when on Hogwarts Express his scar was covered by his fringe?
2. When the troll is in the
girls toilets, it looks like there's only one line of cubicles, and he smashes the top
half off twice
3. When the troll is about to
swing at Harry for the third time with his club, Ron levitates his club in mid-air. When
the club falls, it hits the trolls head with a loud thunk, then falls to the ground. But
you never hear any sound of the club hitting the ground.
4. At the start of term feast,
after Harry is sorted into Gryffindor, he sits down on the right side of the table next to
Ron. When the feast appears, Harry is on the other side of the table, next to Hermione.
5. When Harry and Ron are late
for Transfiguration, and McGongall changes into a cat, just after she changes back, she
isn't wearing her glasses. Then she turns to lecture them, and at that point she's wearing
them again. - Fawkes82
6. After the three heroes have
been to investigate Fluffy and they go back to the dorms, Hermione goes to the left, when
earlier on just after they were sorted the girls' dorm was said to be on the right.
7. When he removes the
invisiblity cloak in front of the mirror, what happens to it? It's visible when he's not
wearing it, but it's nowhere to be seen...
8. When Harry is in the
restricted section of the library he puts the lamp in front of him. Harry's shadow is cast
onto the books which are also in front of him. The lamp would have to be behind him in
order to cast his shadow onto the books. - Lindsey
9. In the scene where Harry is
talking to Hermione and Ron about Hagrid's dragon, he says "Hagrid's always wanted a
dragon, he told me so the first time I ever met him," but in the movie Hagrid never
tells this to Harry
10. In the chess game, what
happens if a human takes another piece? The game seems to require that you smash the
massive piece of stone currently occupying that square!
11. At the battle with the
professor, the profesor was perfectly fine when he tried to strangle Harry. It's only when
he was touched by Harry's hands did he start to melt. But later Dumbledore said that the
power was in Harry's skin (But apparently not at the neck).
