Goofs for
        Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)

Continuity: When Harry goes to take his seat after being sorted,
he sits opposite Hermione. In the next cut he is seated beside
her.

Crew or equipment visible: The mechanism which makes the Quidditch
box shake can be seen when the box falls over.

Miscellaneous: As the three children run across the field to
Hagrid's hut, Harry says a few lines ending with "...why didn't I
see it before?" Hermione is mouthing Harry's lines with him.

Factual Errors: The snake that Harry talks to blinks. Snakes don't
have eyelids, making it impossible for them to blink. It is
repeatedly pointed out that snakes can't talk, either, but in the
context of the movie, this is acceptable while the snake's blink
is a simple mistake.

Continuity: When Harry is taking notes in Snape's class his
handwriting is small and neat. When seen from Snape's point of
view it is large and sloppy.

Crew or equipment visible: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione are
struggling in the Devil's Snare, a puppeteer can be seen on the
left of the screen, working at least some of the masses of
tendrils.

Continuity: During the train journey, Ron's hair is parted in
several different places.

Crew or equipment visible: The shadows of a cameraman and a camera
are visible on the wall in the Mirror of Erised scene.

Continuity: Harry's glasses sometimes have lenses, and sometimes
don't, as do Dumbledore's.

Audio/visual unsynchronised: Harry, Dudley, and Uncle Vernon
during the flying letters sequence.

Continuity: On the train scene, the same hill as well as lake (as
seen by the waves in the middle of the water) are seen multiple
times

Miscellaneous: When Harry receives his first letter, Uncle Vernon
says "Your letter? Who would be writing to you?", Dudley is
standing next to him and is seen mouthing Uncle Vernon's lines.

Continuity: When Hermione runs across the field her bag switches
arms.

Revealing mistakes: In the scene with the flying keys, we can see
the string holding up the broomstick just before Harry grabs it.

Continuity: When Harry goes looking for a book on Nicolas Flamel
in the restricted section he opens up the screaming book to the
first page. When the book starts to scream he is in the middle of
the book.

Crew or equipment visible: When Harry, Ron, and Hermione just left
Fluffy for the first time and walk into their dorm area, we see,
under the painting, the feet of someone closing the painting.

Continuity: The note that Hagrid gives to the teller in the bank
is wrinkled in one shot, neat and clean in the next, and then back
to wrinkled.

Continuity: When Harry is in his room for the first time at
Hogwarts, he is sitting in the window with his feet crossed. A
split second later his feet are flat and straight on the
windowsill - he was given no time to switch his feet.

Continuity: When Hagrid's cabin is shown the windows are so high
up that even Hagrid can't see through them while standing on the
ground. Later in the film, when Draco Malfoy spies on Hagrid
through the window, the window appears to be at his eye level, and
he turns and runs away, revealing that he wasn't standing on
anything to make him tall enough to reach the window.

Continuity: As Harry makes his "birthday cake" in the dirt, he has
a blanket over himself. When Hagrid knocks on the door, it's gone.
(Overhead shots show him with the blanket, ground level shots show
him without).
