It takes a lot of effort, time, and money to recreate a mysterious universe about famous wizards that have millions of fans on screen. But no matter how hard makeup artists, designers, cameramen, and CGI specialists tried, almost every movie about the courageous Harry Potter had numerous goofs.

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.
