Although each film gets progressively better, they'll never be perfect and mistakes will still be present. Here are the ones we've collected so far from all of you careful movie buffs!

• Super Seamus - During Beauxbatons' entrance into the Great Hall, Seamus is sitting next to Harry and Ron and comments to them about Madame Maxime when she enters. During Durmstrang’s entrance, however, Seamus is now sitting next to Hermione, across the table from Harry and Ron.

• Can you dance the hippogriff? - When the students are dancing to The Weird Sisters at the Yule Ball, Viktor Krum can be seen jumping up and down at the back of the group, with either Crabbe or Goyle jumping behind him, hands on Krum's shoulders. However, immediately after, Krum is seen dancing with Hermione, and Crabbe/Goyle is nowhere to be found - with no time to move between shots.

• Moving Fork - When Hagrid stabs Professor Flitwick in the hand with his fork, the fork changes places slightly between the wide shot of the two of them and the close-up of Flitwick's hand, even though the fork hadn't been removed yet.

• Where's my wand? - After Wormtail performs the Avada Kedavra curse and then raises the "bone of the father," he places Voldemort's wand inside the left side of his coat before slicing off his right hand. When Voldemort says, "My wand, Wormtail," Wormtail retrieves the wand from the right side of his coat.

• Say what? - When Harry goes into the owlery and reads the letter from Sirius, we see that Sirius wrote "By the way, the bird bites." But when we hear Sirius reading it aloud, he says, "P.S. The bird bites."

• Interchangeable Ink - On the Hogwarts Express, when Harry writes "Sirius Black" on the envelope, it is written in thick black ink. However, in the next shot when the envelope is in Hedwig's beak, the name is written in thin ink.

• Dumbledore, Stand Here! - After Beauxbatons' entrance into the Great Hall, Fleur bows in a close-up with the wood platform directly behind her, and then Dumbledore kisses Madame Maxime's hand. In the next shot, when Dumbledore quickly runs up onto the platform to introduce Durmstrang, there is a white mark on the wood that he promptly stands on. This mark is not on the platform in neither the previous nor the following shots.

• What Did You Do To Your Glasses? - In various scenes throughout the film, Rita Skeeter and Harry have no lenses in their glasses.

• Reflections - In a number of shots within various scenes, the reflections of the reflector screen and set lights are briefly visible in the lenses of characters' glasses (such as Rita Skeeter's) or in a character's eyes.

• What's Your Name Again? - When we're first introduced to Bartemius Crouch Sr., Dumbledore pronounces his name distinctly from how it's said throughout the rest of the film.

• Tick-Tock - When the Goblet of Fire is about to reveal who the Three Champions are, the clock strikes nine. But if you listen carefully while Dumbledore is talking, it only rings eight times.

• Out of Sync - In numerous scenes throughout the film, characters are heard speaking - although their lips never move.

• Moving Staff - When Malfoy is transformed back to human form in the Ferret Scene, Moody proceeds to chase him around a tree, thus leaving his own staff sticking up from the ground next to the spot where he stood. In the one shot over Malfoy's shoulder before he rounds the tree, Moody's staff is sticking at an angle up from the ground. However, when the camera cuts back to this same position after following Malfoy around the tree, the staff is now sticking up perfectly perpendicular to the ground and not at any angle.

• Swapping Spells? - In the movie, every time someone uses Expelliarmus, the victim falls unconscious - but Expelliarmus is only supposed to expel your wand from your hand... not hurt you.

• Where's Ronald? - When Filch comes running into the Great Hall before Dumbledore announces Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, he runs past Ron twice. The first time Ron is sitting up and turns his head as Filch runs past. The second time, Ron is resting his head on his arms on the table, and picks up his head as Filch goes by.

• Swapping Towels - At the end of the second task when Harry gets out of the water, Hermione runs over to him and wraps her towel around him. But in the next aerial shot, Hermione has still got the towel around her... and in the following shot, Harry's got Hermione's towel!

• Finicky Flames - Once Sirius leaves and Harry and Ron have their argument, Harry walks back to the fire to see the Daily Prophet burning brightly, flames dancing: the whole nine yards. The light on Harry's face is a soft glow, something you would not see with a dancing fire.

Inconsistencies: They aren't mistakes - but they sure are noticeable!

• Which House? - Throughout the entire film, anytime we see the Patil twins, they're together - and both wearing Gryffindor robes. However, anyone who has read the books knows that Padma's a Ravenclaw.
