CoS Mistakes

Why the next 'Harry Potters' may take a spell?

The film series' logistics offer challenges that a young wizard would find hard to overcome.

Now that "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has scared up monstrous box-office numbers, just like the first movie, here's how the plot thickens in coming episodes:

Warner Bros. has been forced to hire a new director for the third installment. The original one burned out after the breakneck pace of back-to-back productions. The planned release date has been delayed because the parents of the actor who plays Harry wanted him to attend a prestigious school rather than being tutored on the set.

Meanwhile, the fourth J.K. Rowling adventure book is so fat -- 734 pages -- no one is sure it can be shaped into a single movie without slicing scenes, which could alienate the protective author and her fanatical young readers.

Potter fans spot 32 howlers in film sequel

The Guardian

They were the eagle-eyed awkward squad who noticed the digital watch on the wrist of a survivor in the film Titanic - and the technician in blue jeans next to Maximus during a Roman battle in Gladiator.

Now, within two days of the film's UK release, fans have so far detected 32 mistakes in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. These range from visible wires towing a flying owl, a miraculous recovery from an arm fracture, and a cover-up job on Hermione's increasingly shapely leg.

They include a change in the London station from which the Hogwarts Express departs, an unscripted plaster cast, and an oversized basilisk.

The errors are being logged on moviemistakes.com, which posted 15 new reports of blunders yesterday, and on other fan websites. A further 10 complaints were disallowed as fallacious, as were grumbles about differences be tween the book and film. All the mistakes are errors in the continuity editing of the film, which was finished on a strict timetable after the huge box office success last Christmas of the first Harry Potter film, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

The number of slips logged in the first weekend is higher than in the same period for The Philosopher's Stone, in which 124 howlers have so far been spotted.

But Harry Potter is far from seizing the movie world's most unwanted title. The most mistake-ridden film of recent years is The Matrix, with 178 slip-ups, followed by Titanic, with 152, The Fellowship of the Ring, with 146, and Spider-Man, with 144. Gladiator has 96.

By contrast, an older era of technical expertise without computer-generated effects produced 76 mistakes in The Wizard of Oz, 23 in Gone With the Wind, and 14 in The Sound of Music.

"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has pulled in a whomping $87.7 million dollars (actual total: $87,690,000) in the US. This is just short of last year's blockbuster hit, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" which made $90.3 million. That's still impressive you must say.
