- Continuity: While in the hospital, Molly and Henry are talking in the hallway while Eric is in the background rolling back and forth on his 'wheelie' shoes. Eric wheels to the right side of the hall, then there is a close-up shot of Henry. Eric is back on the left side of the hall.
- Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When Mr. Magorium asks Henry to name the Fibonacci series from its 11th to 16th integer, Henry should name 6 integers, but only names 5. The 5 he names are the 12th to 16th integers of the Fibonacci series. He leaves out the 11th integer - 55.
- Continuity: The length of Natalie Portman's hair changes inconsistently throughout the movie. Dramatic differences can be noted during the hospital scene where in various shots it appears at both it's shortest and longest. This is most likely due to the fact that Natalie had shaved her hair off for the movie V for Vendetta and her hair was still growing out, in conjunction with the film's productions schedule which - as with most films - means it was filmed out of sequence.

- Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Towards the end of the movie when Mahoney is bringing life back to the toy store, she points at a row of boxes which respond by popping out paper streamers. But as the two little girls walk into the shot, the streamers appear in front of them instead of behind as they should be, thereby revealing that the streamers were digitally inserted into the footage improperly.
