Goofs

When Luke chases the stroller that was pushed downhill, a safety cable is visible, attached to the bottom of the stroller.

The Grand High Witch's mask changes from hanging off her face to being attached as the good witch walks past, right before the other witches come to her room after drinks.

Near the beginning, Erica's mother says, "Come in Helga, have some cake", but she's mouthing something different.

When Mr.

Stringer says, "What the devil!" his mouth doesn't move.

When Bruno says "I really hate margarine," his mouth is out of sync.

As Luke lies down on the bed, the position of his drawing changes.

Some bald witches are obviously wearing bald caps.

When Luke turns into a mouse, a character mark is visible on the floor by the Grand High Witch's feet.

When the assistant says she smells dogs droppings, the card in her hand changes.

Grandma's left pinkie fingertip is supposed to be missing, but it's visible in some shots.

After the witch is blown up, the size of hole in her chair changes.

The cook says, "What's that, eh?" without moving his mouth.

Some of the witches in the convention are clearly men in women's clothing.

When the stroller rolls down the hill, the hood is slightly raised.

In 2 shots, the hood is completely down.

When Luke hides in the bowl of chips, as a mouse, the amount of chips in the bowl changes.

When Helga waves her bag in front of the Jenkins parents, she holds it with 1 hand, then 2 hands.

When the Grand High Witch announces that another meeting will take place next year, her assistant is heading toward the exit.

In the next scene, (at around 26 mins) her assistant is heading toward the same exit, from a different direction.

Before the Grand High Witch transforms at the dinner, some of the women behind her are still women.

Seconds earlier, they were transforming into witches.

When Luke is playing in his tree house, the witch in black catches his fallen toy airplane.

When she throws the plane back up to the tree house, a string is attached to the front of the plane, pulling it into the branches.

When the Grand High Witch and her assistant enter her room while Luke gets the formula, they're wearing pointy shoes.

Earlier, it was mentioned that witches never wear pointy shoes.

However, the original book suggest the Grand High Witch does wear pointed shoes to great discomfort and hates wearing them, this fact is not mentioned in the movie to explain the shoes.

When the Grand High Witch gets out of the taxi, she is wearing white shoes and blue pants.

When she enters the hotel, she is wearing a black and green dress.
