When Harry is being bullied at the start of the episode, his right shoe does not get knocked off when his trousers are pulled away, but suddenly appears next to him as the boys walk away. It makes no sense for him to then walk into town without it.

User Reviews

Good 2nd thrilling episode!!!

In the second episode of this amazing mini-series I have a feeling this was a episode strict to the book while the first one was in the last 30 minutes a bit of edge.

At first I was like why change the story a bit from the book while you can strictly follow the story of the book.

But now I find it a really great idea because people who read the book have still some questions about the ending.

Anyway I'm liking it the setting, the dialog's, its all nice!

I can see that James Franco & co did a lot of work on this!

Keep up the good work!

10/10
