Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (USA)

Trivia: The street that Harry and Hagrid walk down to get to the Leaky Cauldron is the same street Sean Connery is parked in waiting for Catherine Zeta-Jones to leave the antiques shop in Entrapment (1999). (more)

Goofs: Factual errors: The snake that Harry talks to blinks. Snakes don't have eyelids, making it impossible for them to blink. It is repeatedly pointed out that snakes can't talk, either, but in the context of the movie, this is acceptable, while the snake's blink is a simple mistake. (more)
