Let’s go back to “Harry Potter on the Sorcerer’s Stone”, the first part of the wizarding saga, and a small technical error that was better never noticed.
We are in the middle of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, the first part of the famous magical saga adapted from J.K. Rowling’s work and directed by Chris Columbia in 2001.
Inheriting the famous invisibility cloak at Christmas, the little wizard takes a night walk through the corridors of Hogwarts and discovers the mysterious Mirror of Erised, in whose reflection he contemplates the faces of his lost parents. Fascinated by this disturbing discovery, he rushes to wake up Ron, his best friend, to show him.
It is at this point in the feature film that we can observe – provided you know where to look – a big mistake, unfortunately forgotten by the technical team. Indeed, before the two wizards remove their invisibility cloaks and drop the magic cloth (which is supposed to remain completely transparent) to the floor of the castle, we quickly notice the presence of a green sheet on the ground.
An object that allowed the visual effects team to make the two children appear magical in the foreground shot, but the technicians were better off out of view in the wide shot. Even if the mistake only lasts for a second, it’s hard to forget once you notice it!
As Michelle and Michelle point out in False Fitting for the first two parts of the Harry Potter saga, this twist is far from the only mistake in the film.
Indeed, if you look closely, you can also see the microphone wire coming out of Aunt Petunia’s costume, the small cable that allows Boo Hedwig to stay on Harry’s arm or even the nylon strings attached to the floating candles in the Hogwarts Great Hall.
