Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was one of the most anticipated films in the Harry Potter series (so far). There were so many parts of the book that fans couldn’t wait to see brought to life. They wanted to see Lupin become a werewolf (which turned out to be a flop) and they wanted to see Sirius Black. While Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban was hugely successful, but it wasn’t without flaws. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban actually had quite a few mistakes. Here are just a few of the fun mistakes that can found in this film.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Sheets Made of Glass?
In the first scene of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry Potter is practicing the Lumos spell. In order for the light to appear as it did, there had to be a light and a piece of glass placed under Daniel Radcliffe. If you look closely you can see the sheet of glass, where a regular bed sheet should be.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Those Darn Roaming Pimples
Throughout Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Ron’s pimples seem to move all over his face. This mistake was easier to explain than most. It would be hard to apply the pimples in the exact same spot each time.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Mysterious Grass Patch
When Harry and Hermione are thrown from the Whomping Willow, they have a hard landing. But, if you look closely, you will see that the grass patch they land on looks different then the rest of the grass. This is because there was a soft matt there to catch them.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Pesky Moving Mud
During the scenes of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, where they have turned back time, the mud on Hermione’s jeans keeps showing up in different spots. You would think they would have just had one pair of mud covered jeans for the scene, but obviously not.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Where Is the Moon?
In one of the last scenes of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban we see a cloud move away from the moon. The moon is off to the right, but the light appears to be coming from somewhere in front of the actors.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: The Mysterious Moving Scar
Another placement mistake found throughout the movie is Harry Potter’s scar. Throughout Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the scar of Harry’s forehead moves to several different locations. In one scene it’s in the center of his forehead, then in another it may be off to the side.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Missing Scar
Not only does Harry Potter’s scar move through Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, but in some scenes he has no scar at all. Talk about a big mistake.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Movie Mistakes: Cables Everywhere
Just like the strings found in the previous movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban has a few scenes where you can see cables. For example, in one of the first scenes where Harry blows up his aunt, you can see cables attached to her.
