35 Tiny But Important Details That Were Hidden In The Harry Potter Movies
Harry Potter movies have a huge fan base all over the world. You know, the type of people who can’t wait for another movie to come out, but without new releases in sight, go over the entire movie series once more. And then again.

We can’t blame them because they are filled with small but ingenious details and messages, Easter eggs that make us look at the franchise from a whole different perspective. (and go over the movie series once more, just to see what this detail is referring to). Reddit users share details about Harry Potter movies that are not easy to spot but are marvelously planned and executed.
1. "When Harry Reveals That He's Alive In Deathly Hallows Part 2, George Turns To Excitedly Tell Fred, Who's Normally Always Next To Him"
2. "Snape's First Encounter With Harry And His Secret Message"
"One of the questions Snape asks is if Harry knows what would result in adding the powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood. Harry doesn't know the answer, but that's not the important part.
This is actually a coded comment that would be lost on all viewers that don't have an extensive knowledge of Victorian-era flower symbolism. Asphodel is a lily, which means demise under the Victorian flower code, while wormwood reflects loss and absence. Snape is actually referencing Harry's mother Lily with this comment"
3. "In The Harry Potter Films, Voldemort’s Robes Faded In Colour Every Time A Horcrux Was Destroyed, To Give The Impression He Was Slowly Fading Away"
Tiny but elaborate details like the Cheeri-Owls cereal and how the Beauxbatons students are swaying to the Macarena are something many of us just missed.
Interesting thing is that the scene where a wizard is going through Stephen Hawking’s “A Brief History of Time” in The Prisoner of Azkaban motivated a trend of fanfic, Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, about an ultra-logical and extremely geeky variation of the young wizard.
4. "In Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone (2001), You Can See A Portrait Of Anne Boleyn Hanging In The Staircase. Anne, A Wife Of Henry Viii, Was Accused Of Being A Witch, And Subsequently Executed"
5. "Harry Potter Intros Become Darker Every Year, Just Like The Movies"
Although the Fantastic Beasts movies are not popular as the originals, they’re still entertaining. The newest FB movie should come out in November 2021. The plot is not yet revealed, but some info suggest that some of it will take place in Brazil.
6. "In 'The Sorcerer's Stone' Scene Where Neville Gets A Remembrall, He Can't Remember What He's Forgotten — But It's Probably His Robe, As He's The Only One Not Wearing One"
7. "The End Credits Of 'Goblet Of Fire' Feature This Magical Disclaimer: 'No Dragons Were Harmed In The Making Of This Movie'"
8. "The Ways Harry, Ron, And Hermione Wear Their Scarves And Ties Reflect Their Personalities"
"In Sorcerer's Stone, Hermione's scarf is tied neatly and completely around her neck, Harry's is loosely thrown over his shoulder, and Ron's is just laying flat and open and not wrapped at all. Often with their ties, Hermione's is tied perfectly and tucked in, Harry's is loose but tucked in like he's been messing with it, and Ron's is completely untied."
