12 Huge Problems With Harry Potter Movies (Nobody Admits)

Most Harry Potter fans agree The Prisoner of Azkaban is the best movie in the franchise. Unfortunately, this terrific film doesn’t get off to a particularly good start.

Just before the opening titles, the camera zooms into Harry’s bedroom and we see him underneath the covers with his school work. In order to see what he’s doing, he uses the incantation ‘Lumox Maxima’.

Yet even a casual Harry Potter fan could tell you the use of underage magic outside of school is forbidden. In the previous movie, Harry was even given a severe warning by the Ministry just because Dobby performed a Hover Charm in the Dursleys’ living room.

It’s a fun opening scene and a good demonstration of the Dursleys’ dislike of magic, but it also contradicts the established rules laid out in the first two movies.
