In the third movie, the opening scene is Harry doing his homework under the covers in his bed. Oh, but what's this? Using the "Lumos", incantation? Underage wizards are not allowed to use magic outside of school, he would have gotten a letter from the Ministry in minutes. In the book he is using a flashlight
You can't blame the directors for bad interpretations of the underage wizarding law, because, if you read the books carefully - JK Rowling herself has so many inconsistencies and plot holes around that very theme. She can do many things well and consistent in her books, but that one was her worst quality. That rule was constantly being broken.

Don't you remember in the very first book, how the Weasley twins turned Ron's teddy bear into a spider? They are only 2 years older than him, so they would be certainly underage as well. Where is the ministry in this situation?
