At Bright Side, we armed ourselves with a magnifying glass and watched the entire saga about the young wizard over again. We wanted to find the scenes that could make J. K. Rowling really irritated.

1. Harry’s shirt collar is around his neck at first, but when the shot changes, it’s below his shoulders.
