Some details You Might’ve Missed Throughout the Harry Potter Movies and Books. (Part 1) (Entertainment/Informational)
Chapter 3
Hi! First, the votes from my last article:
60% - Captain America is Slytherin
40% - Captain America is Gryffindor.
Based on the votes, Captain America - Steve Rogers is more Slytherin than Gryffindor. Now, for the article, here are some details you might’ve missed throughout the Harry Potter movies and books, and this is part 1. Part 2 will be my next article, continuing this one. Enjoy!
Book 1:
Aunt Petunia was actually dying Dudley's old clothes gray for Harry's uniform. (They never said this out loud, but it’s from the books)
Voldemort’s name is listed in the credits as "He Who Must Not Be Named."
Ron teaches Harry wizard’s chess, foreshadowing the live version they play later on, in the books.
Book 2
On the clock Mrs. Weasley has to tell her where her family is, one of the options is "prison."
When Hagrid finds Harry in Knockturn Alley, you can see a row of Harry Potter books in the windowsill.
Harry tells Dobby to never "try" to save his life again. In Deathly Hallows: Part 1, Dobby doesn’t try, but succeeds in saving Harry's life, and loses his in the process.

When Gilderoy Lockhart is fleeing Hogwarts, Harry and Ron catch a blonde wig sitting on display on Lockhart’s desk.
In the end of the movie, Draco’s father really loses it when Harry tricks him into giving Dobby a sock, freeing the house elf from the Malfoy's service.He gets so mad that he whips out his wand and threatens Harry with it, actually going so far as to begin to say a curse before he is interrupted by Dobby. So you may have wondered what he was going to say over the years. If you listen closely, you can actually hear the evil Malfoy saying, “Avada,” about to send young Harry to his parents, before Dobby interrupts him. (Avada Kedavra is the killing curse).
Book 3
Have you ever wanted to know how there's housekeeping but The Leaky Cauldron is still so dirty? The reason why is because the broom kept sweeping the dirt under the rugs.
You can see what appears to be a portrait of Voldemort in the Grand Staircase, in Hogwarts.
You can see Newt Scamander on the Marauder’s Map. Newt is the main character in Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.
In the movies, you can see Neville hid under a rock, scared of Buckbeak.
In the scene with the boggart, Malfoy hit Neville with the arm that Buckbeak injured. Malfoy claimed the injury was so painful, Buckbeak had to be executed for it. Clearly it wasn't that serious.

When Harry is first given the Marauders map, a shot shows the front cover of the map with the nicknames of all the creators. You might catch the fact that the name “Moony” is misspelled “Mooney.” This is actually done on purpose. The filmmakers had some fun slipping in the movie’s visual effects supervisor’s last name, Mooney (Karl Mooney).
When Harry first enters The Leaky Cauldron, you can see a wizard stirring his tea using magic, while reading a book. This wizard is actually reading a muggle book. It's Stephen Hawking’s classic A Brief History of Time, which explains the connections between time and the universe. The name of the book foreshadows how Hermione and Harry go back in time later in the movie.

In Hogwarts, the courtyard fountain has statues of an eagle eating a snake. This is a reference to the Mexican flag.
When Hermione and Harry use the Time Turner to go back in time and save Buckbeak from his execution, both actors’ microphone packs can be seen from under their shirts on their back as they creep around Hagrid’s pumpkin patch and attempt to get Buckbeak untied.
Book 4:

A now-free Dobby can be caught VERY BRIEFLY at the camp where Harry, Hermione and the Weasleys stayed for the Quidditch World Cup.
In Dumbledore’s office, you can see a 3D replica of the Deathly Hallows.

In the end credits, director Mike Newell wanted to assure everyone no dragons were harmed during the making of the film.
During the last task of the triwizard tournament, the Beauxbatons students are seen doing a cheerleading routine in the stands to cheer on Fleur Delacour. They are actually dancing a more stylized version of the muggle dance, the Macarena.
Book 5:
When Harry disarms Lucius, Sirius says, "Nice one, James." This is something he said to James, (Harry's father) when he did the same thing to Snape, during their years at Hogwarts.
In a scene where Harry, Ron, and Hermione are walking down the Great Hall, a box of “Cheeri-Owls” can be seen with Luna Lovegood and Cho Chang.
In order to enter the Ministry of Magic, Mr. Weasley quickly dials 6-2-4-4-2. This actually spells out m-a-g-i-c – magic – on a telephone’s number pad.
In the fifth movie, you can hear some kids in the D.A, (Dumbledore’s army) use the spell “Levicorpus”. But, in the sixth book and movie, you find out Snape made that spell, so Harry shouldn’t have known it before “The Half-Blood Prince). - Credit to Quinn for helping me out with this one.
Thank you guys for reading this!! I hoped you enjoyed, and part two will be out soon (most likely in the next issue!)
