Things you didn't spot until the umpteenth time in the HP films v.2

It did work out well! I was scared that it wouldn't look as realistic and real as it did. I was sure they would stuff it up somehow...but luckily, they didn't! :D

It was amusing when Helena couldn't walk in Bellatrix's high heeled boots!

The one distracting thing though was Emma's voice instead of Helena's; I wish the movies would have done it as the books do and have the voices change also.

I didn't know Emma had actually done the scene; didn't she just coach Helena on how to be Hermione?

I don't think I ever fully appreciated the scene in HBP where Harry touches the ring horcrux and does a little Voldy 'channeling'. I never really paid much attention to this scene. Dumbledore seems to be quite aware of it and and at the same time says that he thinks he has discovered the whereabouts of another horcrux. Of course we think of the locket, but I think the line is supposed to also indicate a realization about Harry for the viewer to pick up on.

I'm not so sure about that one... because according to canon and DH2 movie, Dumbledore knew this before that fateful night of horcrux hunting.... so this whole portion of the story was off

I didn't know Emma had actually done the scene; didn't she just coach Helena on how to be Hermione?
There was a featurette somewhere which showed Helena watching a recording of Emma performing the scene on the set, so Emma did act it out first. :)

I just watched part 2 for the third time and I noticed in the epilogue that Albus has a ferret. Kind of a non-traditional animal for Hogwarts.

Speaking of nods to previous films (Cornish Pixies, Paper bird...etc) did you guys also catch, on the train in the epilogue, the little firework balls a la Fred and George (OotP)?

I caught that myself on my second viewing the other night! :) I saw it and immediately thought of OotP as well.:agree:

I'm not sure if I heard this correctly, but on my second viewing of DH2, I thought I heard the broken-record phonograph at the very start of the Room of Requirement scene, the one that is also playing in some of the HBP scenes. Did my ears deceive me?

Yep, the the broken record sound was indeed included. The Room of Requirement scene could fill this thread with things actually; there were so many props and callbacks to the previous films used.

Yes, and I think this is one aspect of Part 2 that captured my attention the most. David Yates, the producers, and the actors have all said that this final film is truly for the fans, and all the details and past-movie references justify that sentiment. I almost could not keep my seat when I noticed the Cornish pixies in the Room of Requirement. Though not explicitly stated in the books, I thought it was ingenious to include so many throwbacks in the Room of Requirement. It is the opportune location for those references, and I enjoyed straining my eyes to see all the past film references. I will certainly have to be even more aware during subsequent viewings because I am sure there is an almost limitless amount of previous film memorabilia in that room.

I just watched part 2 for the third time and I noticed in the epilogue that Albus has a ferret. Kind of a non-traditional animal for Hogwarts.

With all these shout-outs to previous films, maybe that was a callback to GoF when Malfoy gets turned into a ferret by Imposter!Moody. So I guess the ferret was more of a GoF reference than anything.

I didn't notice that in Deathly Hallows Part II, as McGonagall tells Neville to "confer with Mister Finnigan" about blowing the bridge, to the left, Slughorn is walking out to help put up the shield. What's funnier, we see him take a good, long drink from his private flask before he heads out to help. I thought the audience was laughing at McGonagall talking about Seamus blowing up stuff; now I realize they might've been also laughing at Slughorn having to drink before battle. In the same scene, in the pan on Flitwick before he helps put up the shield, I didn't notice the statues in front of him deploying. Meh.

Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing this out on DVD--first of all for any deleted scenes, but secondly for stuff like this. I get all up for this kind of trivial minutiae.

In the Hog's Head in DH2, we hear Abeforth telling the Death Eaters outside that his patronus is a goat, not a stag, even though the Dementors weren't in Hogsmeade :lol:

Speaking of the Room of Requirement scene (when Harry's trying to find the diadem), I could swear I saw the Mirror of Erised, unless my brain was tricking me. But when I see the film again (whether in the cinema for the third time, or when it's out on DVD) I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for more things shouting out to past movies.
I spy with my little eye, something from Chamber of Secrets... ;)

In the Hog's Head in DH2, we hear Abeforth telling the Death Eaters outside that his patronus is a goat, not a stag, even though the Dementors weren't in Hogsmeade :lol:

I must've missed that! I'll definitely have to have a listen again when I see the movie next time.

I thought I saw the Mirror as well.

My Rewatch List:

-When the teachers/adults are putting the shield around Hogwarts, they include the Muggle Repelling Charm even though Hogwarts already has those and they really arent necessary for a battle. :P

-After Goyle casts Avada Kadavra at Hermione, Ron shouts "That's my girlfriend!" as he goes running after him.

-The mobile in Harry's room in the Prince's Tale includes the owl figurine from the neckless on the WBshop website.

They miss that particular Christmas Present out in the film- perhaps to focus more on the Invisibilty Cloak. I can't remember the exact tune that Hagrid plays on the flute, but I think it's the main melody to one of the HP Soundtrack songs. :)

He plays Hedwig's Theme. I play it with the movie on my own flute every time. :)

During the epilogue, the students who go running past Albus, James, and Rose's compartment are shouting something along the lines of "Wait up, Teddy!" :D I'm glad there's at least some reference to him, if they didn't put him in as a character,

I want to think the drink slughorn is drinking is felix felices

I notice there are four or five students standing in the background of Harry and Voldemort's battle. There's not much to see, but there are actually a few people in the background, there. Obviously it doesn't make it look like they're "surrounded," like in the book, but I find it interesting there's a few people there:

I only saw this because someone pointed it out on YouTube, but if you watch carefully in the QWC scene in Goblet of Fire, when one of the Weasleys yells out "That, sis, is the best seeker in the world!!", watch Harry's expression. That smile disappears really fast after the twin had said his line. But until it had been pointed out in a comment in YouTube, I never had noticed that.


Not sure it means anything though.

Got to see DH2 last night and got to see the Mirror and the Cornish Pixies in the room of requirement :) I caught sight of Percy and there was some other things that don't come to mind right now that I was happy to catch the second time round :)

Just been watching PS/SS, and only now I spotted Harry rolling his eyes when Hermione asks Nearly Headless Nick, "Nearly headless? How can you be nearly headless?"

Ooh, good catch.

Forgot to post, when Ron comes running around the corner of the ROR warning about Goyle setting the place on fire..he grabs Hermione and runs and leaves Harry behind.

Having seen DH2 for the 3rd time, only now do I notice that we actually get to see Remus killed. When a Death Eater bursts through the window of a tower right after the Protego Maxima shield collapses, he AKs someone (Remus) before duelling with Arthur, then Kingsley is shown stopping another DE who breaks through the other window.

We know from earlier in the film that Remus, Arthur and Kingsley were all together up there, so this makes sense to me.

That's an interesting observation. I remember wondering who that person was, and it makes sense that it could have been Lupin.

I think I've paused that frame when it was released in a trailer, and it definately was not Lupin, although its going so fast we can assume it is :)

That's an interesting observation. I remember wondering who that person was, and it makes sense that it could have been Lupin.

and there is more evidence that it is lupin. the last mention before lupins death in the book is that he was dueling dolohov so he probably got killed by him. in the movie, the death eater who blasts through the window looks like dolohov.

and harry grotter, you sure?

I'm sure someone's already mentioned this, but I'm re-watching SS and noticed that the Leaky Cauldron sign (on Harry's first trip to Diagon Alley) appears to be a blank sign until Harry and Hagrid get closer to the door. I love that detail because the books mention how the muggles keep walking past it like it's not even there.

Speaking of SS/PS, I just noticed today that after the Sorting Hat sorts Harry into "GRYFFINDOR!", watch the twins carefully when they stand up cheering: one of them seems to clearly mouth "We got Potter!", like in the book. On second thought, I think you can actually hear him (very faintly!) saying that. The twin (can't tell which one) says it one or more times even when Harry reaches the Gryffindor table. Gotta love the twins! :D

Gred and Forge chant "We got Potter!".

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!



During Snape's Death, at the very beginning, Lucius is standing guard after bringing Severus to Voldemort.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this earlier in the thread, but I was watching DH1 today and realized that in the scene in the Ministry when Thicknesse is giving his speech, you can see Reg Cattermole in the crowd of ministry workers. I've probably seen this movie a dozen times now and just noticed him standing there today!

Just now i just noticed in HBP when Harry goes into Dumbledore's Office after he died and theres lemon drops on the desk!

Oh, really? I'll definitely have to watch that again one day.

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!



During Snape's Death, at the very beginning, Lucius is standing guard after bringing Severus to Voldemort.

Really? I hadn't even noticed that Lucius had brought Severus to the boathouse. Obviously, need to watch the movie again. Twice is not enough.

I actually heard the Weasley twins in PS/SS saying "We got Potter!" It sure is there!

I was watching PS/SS today, and saw that when Hermione said that she went looking for the Troll and it was her fault, that Snape gave her a look that was a cross from him not believing her and as if he is in pain (guess that would be from the bite on his leg).I never noticed it, but it was funny.

In the scene in PS/SS just as Ron is commenting, "It's spooky! She knows more about you than you do!", look quickly to your right at one of the pictures opposite the staircase the trio are just about to ascend. You can see a picture of Anne Boleyn.

I don't know how many times I've watched GoF and only just noticed that Ron has an omnocular (sp?) at the Quidditch World Cup.

I watched DH1 last night and when Yaxley disapparates with them, you can see all the faces swirling. It's so clear I don't know how I could have missed it before.

Harry's scar disappearing when he watches Ron and Hermione go to Hogsmeade in PoA. Watched that movie a billion times and never noticed that mistake before!

There's probably more, but I can't think of anything else right now..

Buckbeak pooing in Prisoner of Azkaban! When i finally realised it i laughed so hard.... :Dx

Lol same here! I only noticed it after the producer of the films pointed it out in an interview xD Made me giggle hehe

How many times people tap on their hearts and talk about "in here." Watching PoA again a few days after DHP2 sealed it.

I am dumbz.

Buckbeak pooing in Prisoner of Azkaban! When i finally realised it i laughed so hard.... :Dx

Haha, I only realised that the other day when I watched PoA again. For some reason I just focused on Buckbeak more in that scene and saw what he did. :rotfl:

I love the mood-setting "Double Trouble" scene from PoA, but I've never fully noticed until last night how the series of toads being held by the choir students at the bottom row look like animatronics (any confirmation on this? they may indeed be real, but their movements are so deliberate-looking) - and how the one on the far right is seemingly bobbing its head left and right along to the music. It's so perfectly weird and Hogwarts-esque.

It took me watching a "Dumbledore review" on youtube to realise that it really does look like he's about to strangle Harry after his name gets pulled from the goblet of fire. I can't watch it without laughing now (which is better than complaining about him yelling, I guess).

Those might actually be animatronic which would be nice. I miss that sort of thing in movies.

They could be either animatronic or simple hand puppets. Either way, I thought it was a pretty cool touch, even if the choir isn't in the books.

One thing I spotted somewhat recently, actually, is in CoS, as Nearly Headless Nick is heading into the Great Hall, he 'takes his head off' to Percy and one Ms. Clearwater as they walk by. Can't believe I hadn't caught that all this time!

I recently rewatched Goblet of Fire and spotted something very small I had never noticed before. When Crouch has announced the age restriction for the Tournament, Fred and George yell in protest. Angelina Johnson, who is sitting right next to them and is of age, has this funny little smirk/grin on her face, because she will be able to enter the Tournament and they won't. Very brief, but I still thought it was funny.

Yeah! You can see it in this gif. I didnt notice that until i saw that gif!

I'm thinking someone may have mentioned it before, but in DH2 when Neville picks up the sorting hat and looks into it, you can hear the ringing sound that always accompanies the sword, and a reflection of light on Neville's face, as if the sword is reflecting light back out of the hat.

I never noticed that Harry's son, Albus Severus's initials are ASP...a type of snake. (They are on his trunk in 19 years later) :)

In CoS Fudge has long hair tyed in a ponytail. :lol:

PoA - As many people have said: Buckbeak pooing. ;)

GoF - Wow, I never noticed how bad the editing is in this movie. Filch runs past Ron twice. When Snape hits Harry and Ron with the book, Harry turns his head away twice (also Daniel is trying so hard not to laugh), and during the priori incantatem part in the graveyard scene, there is a shot of Harry grabbing his wand with both hands, but when it cuts to the next shot, he's holding it with one hand.

In HBP, when Luna is giving out quibbler editions and talking to Ginny on the train, you can see a chocolate frog leap on the glass window and a kid pick it up and eat it behind them - a great homage to the first film.

In DH2, during the scene where the teachers put up the shield, you can see Neville, Seamus and Cho (I think) running across the clock tower courtyard towards the bridge, when the camera pans over the castle. Also (in the first boathouse scene) when Voldemort pulls his sleeve up and examines his arm, his skin is raw due to the destruction of his hocruxes.

The Choclate frog on the train homage is also in the "19 years later" of DH2.

Just yesterday I was rewatching OoTP and I clocked that there is a goat in the Hog's Head the first time we see Aberforth, and I went mental! I was like "Was that Aberforth and A GOAT?!" My boyf was like "Er, have you only just noticed that?" :rotfl:

The Choclate frog on the train homage is also in the "19 years later" of DH2.
Yeah, that was fun.

Did anyone else catch Slughorn take a swig of something, and then put it in is cloak in DH2 right before McGonagall brings the knights to life? I caught that the other day. I wonder if it was supposed to be Felix Felicies... :D

During watching HBP, I had noticed from the beginning that Tom Riddle had a pic of the Rock in the Sea (cave), but last night noticed that there were 7 shells or rocks on his window ledge (future reference to the Horcruxes). Curious though...what was the book on the table...a reference to the diary?? What were the pages sticking out of it?

(Just a notation...how could he have a photograph? He was an orphan and it was like 1940's, AND he was the only one to go there except for Dennis & Amy)

(Just a notation...how could he have a photograph? He was an orphan and it was like 1940's, AND he was the only one to go there except for Dennis & Amy)
Since the orphanage went to the general area on a trip, maybe its a postcard from the local shop?

I watched Goblet of fire last night and there are a couple of things i noticed...
1. When Hermione goes to wake ron and harry I saw foliage (trees,bushes?) out the door.

which seem really weird and out of place to me because it made it look like,
A. the bedroom is the first room you walk into the house. which shouldn't be
B. Ron's room is downstairs, when in the book i'm pretty sure it says it's upstairs

2. Hermione cheering very loudly to both irish team and bulgarian team. but more bulgarian

3. When the candy-trolley lady stops infront of the trio's compartment, you can totally see a couple of bottles of pumpkin juice in the trolley.... and they're EXACTLY like the ones in the wizard world theme park. This made me so happy.

4. Rita skeeter saying "well it'll make you feel right at home then" after harry says "it's a broom cupboard"
my first reaction was "oh no she didn't!" but then it got me thinking,
how does Rita skeeter KNOWS about that in the first place? i'm sure no one that knows harry would tell her, and i dont think a lot of people outside of Ron/hermione KNOW about that, as harry never seemed to talk about it with anyone.

so what gives? movie inconsistency?
tbh i would have thought that it would have been common knowledge for most of the wizarding community to know that the boy who rid the world of the most dark wizard of all time was brought up in a cupboard under the stairs, i dont know but it didnt really surprise me that rita skeeter knew, also something that i noticed was in PoA in the leaky couldron you see a man sat at the table near the bar stiring his cup with a spoon with his finger(if that makes sense) and reading a book i noticed that the man is Ian brown who was in the stone roses

Have seen the film DH2 5 times. 2x in 2d, 2x imax 3d, 1x D-Box. My question is:
Where was Ron during the Great Hall scene when the Slytherins wanted to turn over Harry to Voldemort? All the others gathered around Harry including of course Hermione, Ginny, the Weasleys, the Order, the DA members etc. but NO RON to be seen!?!? His Best Friend not stepping up to protect him? Anyone else notice this? I first thought he was missing the 3rd time I watched it. The last 2 X's, and especially the last time, I particularly looked for him and could not find him. He was there when the Order and the DA first entered the hall before Snape fled but after Voldie told them to turn Harry over and the others jumped in front of Harry to protect him, Ron was gone. (Was this filmed at the time Rupert got the mumps?)

Hmmm, I've only seen the movie twice, but I don't remember seeing Hermione in that scene. I guess I was too focused on Harry and Snape.

Just saw it today and Hermione was definitely there but Ron wasn't.

One thing that I noticed today is that when Voldemort is dead and the camera is moving upwards away from him, you can see someone standing by the door of the Great Hall. I think it was Neville but I could be wrong.

i dont know if this is true or not but im sure i heard that one of the deleted scenes was just after voldemort died and people are coming out of the doors to were he died and to harry

I just spotted that when Hagrid tells Harry about Voldemort and there is the flashback at Godric's Hollow in Book 1... I noticed that Lily screams out "JAMES!!!" when she closes the door so Voldemort wouldn't get in the bedroom. I was heart broken!

I was watching POA last night and noticed that the heading in the book that Harry is reading at the beginning of the movie (when he's saying lumos maxima) says "Extreme Incantations" and the stream of words coming out of the wand (if I remember correctly) in the book is just a repetition of "lumos" and "maxima". Also, in the woods when Harry and Hermione have gone back in time, Hermione says something about helping Sirius and there is a noise... Buckbeak burping?

This took about 6 times for me to see (I'm up to 10--is there a quick cure for obsession?) During the Snape v. McGonagall battle in HP7.2, he only defends himself by deflecting her attacks, backing up closer and closer to the Carrows. Just before he exits out the window, he deflects a spell and takes out both Carrows with one sweep of his wand (noticed this on viewing 2.) What I didn't notice until #6 is that the only time his wand sparks is when he deflects that deadly spell into his now former henchmen.

It took four viewings before I noticed Bellatrix in the scene at Malfoy Manor when Voldy kills the goblins.

The Malfoys are together at one end of the room and she's curled up in a little ball of misery in the middle of the room. :rotfl: Funniest part of the whole movie imo :D

Also noticed on a fourth viewing, in one shot at Gringotts, Harry's feet are visible, sticking out from under the Cloak.

I think they've already been mentioned, but I noticed Aberforth's argument about Patronuses with the Death Eater and Slughorn taking a drink before the battle on the fourth viewing as well.

Also I think I've noticed some shoddy editing in GoF. In the scene where Snape hits them over the back of the head with the book for talking, at one angle it looks like he hit Hermione, and at the next shot it looks like he hit Ron instead. Then he hits Harry and there are only two thumps from the book, so apparently he missed one of them and it looks like it was Ron. I know it looks as though he only hits Ron and Harry, but if you pause it I'm pretty sure he hit Hermione in the first shot because she flinches and Ron doesn't and you see her hair fly up from the impact, but I could be wrong because I don't have my DVD at the moment, so I'm only looking at it on Youtube.

At least I noticed something else while watching that scene so many times; I always thought Ron was saying "will you come to the ball with ME?" but he's saying "come with one of us?" I find it even funnier that he's trying to imitate Fred's little dance move thing when he's not even specifically asking her for himself :lol:

Just noticed last week on about the 30th viewing of PoA, when Hagrid asks for volunteers to pat Buckbeak and everyone steps back, Neville not only steps back, but ducks down behind the rock. Can't believe it took me so long to notice that.

I watched HBP on tv last night and can't believe that I missed the twins are wearing flashing red spot ties in the joke shop. Today I put the dvd in the computer and there they were, red flashing spots.

Just got back from my *mumble, mumble* viewing of DH7.2 and noticed, on Platform 9-3/4, the two Potter boy's trunks have their initials on the front-ASP and JSP. Guess that means James' middle name is Sirius.

I never noticed until last night when I watched DH Part 1 for the millionth time that right before Harry takes out the piece of the mirror in the forest (right before the doe Patronus appears) someone is quietly whispering 'Trust me!'.

HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED THAT? It's so amazing and such a big hint.

I wonder if JKR noticed ASP's initials were a snake?

I was watching GoF the other night and a couple of things caught my attention and I kept re-watching to see if I saw them correctly.

In the Draco/Moody dancing Ferret scene, if you look at Moody's staff, first it stands straight, then it leans, and then it's straight again.

Then the scene where Harry is leaning over Cedric's body, and the body is uncovered. You see Crouch talking to Snape and McGonagall, both very clearly wearing their robes, and then the two run over to Dumbledore. Cedric is still uncovered. Papa Diggory leans over Cedric and moves his right hand as if he's moving something (it may be that Cedtic's face was covered and he uncovers it), and then you see Cedric, covered in black.

In the next scene, when Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Snape go running into the room with Harry and Moody, Snape isn't wearing his robe, when he clearly was in the previous scene.

It looked to me like Snape used his robe to cover Cedric's body, but the scene was cut.

In Deathly Hallows Part 2, when Ginny comes into the Room of Requirement, you know she's wanting to tell everyone that Snape knows Harry was spotted in Hogsmeade, but she takes like two minutes to do it because of other conversation. For example, she could have said it around the time Ron is talking to Seamus, and instead she just stands there, staring at Harry for like... so long! It looks quite awkward.

I was watching PS yesterday and noticed that when Harry and Hagrid are in London walking towards the Leaky Cauldron, the sign starts off just black but just as they walk in it changes to have something on it - I'm assuming it was just a cauldron or something. I thought that was quite cool. Also, when Harry meets Quirrell, it looks as if Harry puts his hand out to shake hands but Quirrell moves away so he doesn't have to touch Harry, that was clever as well :)

I noticed when I was watching Deathly Hallows Part 2 was when Dumbledore told Snape not to walk away from him there was some inaudible whisper thing.... I never noticed that the first time I saw the film

I don't remember, what scene was that?

I don't remember, what scene was that?

Prince's Tale when Snape tells Dumbledore how long Dumbledore has left to live. Dumbledore goes "Don't walk away Severus" and there's this whispering voice.

Prince's Tale when Snape tells Dumbledore how long Dumbledore has left to live. Dumbledore goes "Don't walk away Severus" and there's this whispering voice.

The whispering voice is Draco Malfoy's voice from the Half-Blood Prince film. It's the spell he uses over and over in that movie when he's trying to send things to and from the broken cabinet in the Room of Requirement. It fits well during this bit in Snape's memory montage because Snape and Dumbledore are discussing Malfoy's mission - we're supposed to realize this scene is taking place during the Half-Blood Prince timeframe, which is obvious once Dumbledore's cursed hand is shown again.

I've got to wait until December to get the DVD to experience that!

I saw this post before I re-watched Goblet of Fire and saw these things too! I can't believe I didn't notice the broom cupboard thing before!

In CoS when Harry and Ron go to Lockhart's office before they go into the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart is packing while he's speaking to them and he grabs a wig off his desk :rotfl: It cracked me up :p

I just noticed that the snake statues in the chamber of secrets are all different (I thought it was the same model x 20 or however many there are)

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but I just noticed in HBP that there is an Umbridge doll in Fred and George's shop that says, "Order, I must have order." She was on a unicycle biking across the store on a wire balancing what looked like two scales or two couldrons.

Very funny!-- It is right after they give a puking pastile to a little boy and they both say to him, "into the couldron, handsome" as they hold out a couldron in front of him.

Haha, really? I never noticed that ! I'm definately going to look for this next time, it sounds hilarious! :P

In POA, after Harry and Hermione return to Hogwarts after saving Sirius and Buckbeak, they met Dumbledore outside the hospital wing. Dumbledore was locking the doors, then when they told him they did it, Dumbledore said "Did what?", and he goes down the stairs humming. I haven't heard him humming until after watching the movie lots times.
And at the end of POA, when Harry goes to talk to Prof. Lupin, I heard music playing. I never saw Lupin turn off the radio just before he leaves his office. Not until last night. This was after watching the movie lots of times.

In CoS when Harry and Ron go to Lockhart's office before they go into the Chamber of Secrets, Lockhart is packing while he's speaking to them and he grabs a wig off his desk :rotfl: It cracked me up :p

He does?!?! I just watched that movie and never saw that! I shall have to watch it again.

What about film goofs? For instance, in HBP film, during the first Potions lesson, Seamus adds something that makes a small explosion and a big puff of smoke. Watch Dean, who is at the same table, in the background, and off to the left a bit. You can clearly see that the cut they used to make that cauldron explosion effect was a bad cut. My husband pointed that one out.

I never noticed the wig that Lockhart grabs. I'll have to look for that.

When McGonagall tells Neville and Seamus to blow up the bridge, you can see Slughorn in the background drinking from a little bottle, could it be Felix Felicis...

I never noticed that! Bet it wasn't pumpkin juice :lol:

I watched HBP last night, and during the scene at Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, they had a little Umbridge figurine demanding, "I MUST have order!" Too funny!

I watched DH2 at the movies 3 times and didn't notice Draco apparate and grab his cronies to go to the Room of Requirement until I watch the DVD.

It looks like Neville is wearing a Ravenclaw scarf in GOF, the second task (lake task) scene. Maybe it's just a scarf that looks like a Ravenclaw scarf?

I hate to admit it, but I didn't hear the crash of Snape going through the window until the 3d time I saw DH2 in the cinema. Yes, I knew he flew through it; I just don't remember hearing the crash until then!!!!!

When I watched HBP, the scene where Dumbledore and Harry are in Slughorn's house searching for him, you can see his feet sticking out of the chair. I never noticed that.

During Goblet of Fire, when Ron is dancing with McGonagall during the lessons, you can see Hermione in the background grinning and giggling at them. I thought that was cute!

I think I spotted Crabbe in GoF last night. This is just....weird....Can anyone explain it?

Is that Krum's back he's on?

Looks like him, doesn't it? :rotfl: Great catch!

I noticed that the other day too.

Wow, I didn't catch that scene with Crabbe. It does look like Krum when you look at it.

The scene with Crabbe is just funny xD
I realized it the first time watching, though, and I immediatly had to laugh at him for jumping at Krum's back. I am pretty sure it is Krum, but in the next scene, Krum is with Hermione...mysterious.

But something I didn't see until I rewatched POA a few days ago with a friend of mine was a scene with Draco -
When they have Care of Magical Creatures and Harry is bowing to Buckbeak, Buckbeak makes a sound and Hermione grabs Ron's hand. In the background, Draco points his finger at Harry and laughs and seems to have a really good time xD

Well, the students from Durmstrang do sit with the Slytherins when they come into the Great Hall for meals, right? So while it doesn't make sense, maybe it does a little that Crabbe and Krum might have become friends a little bit. But not really.

Wow I absoloutely love this one I found just now! Only small but it made me smile!

In Deathly Hallows Pt 2, when Harry, Ron and Hermione are trying to get down to the boathouse, they're running down the Marble Staircase and Harry fires an 'Incarcerous' spell that binds a Death Eater up in chains! It's right before he blocks a spell from a DE on the lower stairs.

Not a spell we see often in there, I'm glad they kept spells like that from the books and incoporated it into the films.

Oooh, that's awesome. I never noticed that. Nice catch.

I've just watched OotP again and can't believe I missed the elf heads in the glass cases at Grimmauld Place.

When I watched OoTP, I saw Harry, Ron, Hermione, Fred and George looking over the balcony in Grimmauld Place, listening with the Expendable Ear. I didn't see Ginny join the group at first, but I did see her go down the stairs with others. Finally, the last time ABCFamily had the HP marathon, I saw when Ginny joined the group.

When Harry looks in the mirror shard in the Forest of Dean, he sees the windows of the Hogshead pub and I've only just noticed that.

This might of been obvious, but in CoS, the Weasley's were clean before going to Diagon Alley, but when they arrived, they were all dirty. Same with Harry. But with Harry, I put it down to the fire was abandoned. But, then, in OotP, at the Ministry, all the people were exceptionally clean. I wondered how that could be. But, then I realized that the Weasley fire was only used 1 time a year, but the Ministry fires were used so constantly, so there was no time to collect dust.

In the Epilogue scene I noticed Al had a ferret in that cage. :lol: What, the owl, cat, or toad rule doesn't apply anymore? I saw a lot of different animals in that scene, which I find interesting.

Or it could simply be because there were two different directors . . .

The last time I watched the OotP was the first time I realized that Cho revealed the DA's location because she had drunk that truth-telling potion not because she had become evil.

I didn't notice at first, but the last time i watched DH2, i noticed that in the fiendfyre scene, Crabbe is played by a tall black boy, not the usual actor. I just found it odd that they would recast that part for the final film, especially with an actor that looks so little like the original Crabbe!

The actor who played Crabbe had drug problems so he was no longer available and wasn't replaced. That was Blaise Zabini in the RoR.

OH! i didn't know! that makes a lot more sense then! Thanks!

I am not too sure here but in the Ron/Hermione/Nagini scene at the end of DH2 it looks like Ron casts a non-verbal killing spell moments before Neville chops the head off.

Thanks so much for making it necessary for me to watch the final battle. . . .

I assume you're basing that on the curse being green? As far as I know the movies haven't made green exclusively the color for the killing curse. Could be wrong. :shrug:

-eta-
Whatever the curse was, it didn't appear to stop Nagini and Neville still had to behead her.

Not something I really spotted, but what I heard. I'm watching Deathly Hallows: Part 1 right now, and it was only because I had the Spanish subtitles on that I noticed that when Harry's sitting in the Forest of Dean, you can very faintly hear Dumbledore say, "Trust me." I just wish they'd made it a bit louder :p

I watched PoA, for probably my 100th time, and noticed the Ministry of Magic symbol on the executioners axe as he was sharpening it.

Also, Uncle Vernon was eating corn flakes or something when the first of Harry's letters arrived in PS. :lol: It's silly, but when you've watch these movies so many times you end up looking at the surroundings more.

I just noticed for the first time today while watching HBP that the owl on Dumbledore's podium moved around and opened its wings prior to his speech. I'm surprised I didn't notice it before.

Actually, I think that's Snape saying "trust me" when he casts the patronus for Harry to follow. We know from the books that messages can be sent with the patronus....plus, Dumbledore isn't alive at that point.

No, it is a rip of Dumbledore saying 'Trust Me' to Harry from HBP right before he is killed. Harry is simply remembering him saying that in the scene. I've seen HBP so many times that I picked this up the first time I saw DH1 :lol:

After the DA sign ups when Hermione says that Cho couldn't keep her eyes of harry Ginny looks at harry with a odd expression.

and then harry goes to talk to cho in the RoR Ginny looks back at him.

It took me several times of watching DH2 to see that the knights that were magically animated to protect the school had the four houses on their shields (1 house per shield, they were standing four across), so all houses came to defend against the Death Eaters. Partly because the scene was so dark, it's hard to see. But I like how it shows the houses as united in protecting the school, as opposed to the book where it makes it seem as if all Slytherins abandoned the defense.

Also just watched PS/SS again and in the scene of the house on the rock, where Hagrid says "Lily and James Potter die in a car crash, it's an outrage!" Petunia states in the background "We had to say something." Made me laugh, that she tried to justify it.

I thought she was saying "We have to say something..." (to Vernon, to get him to stop this from happening).

I'm watching a HP marathon on Space channel..we're on POA and I don't ever recall seeing the baby dragon in Hagrid's cabin that he hides when MOM comes to kill buckbeak.. also, in COS the picture of Harry with his parents as a baby..the baby in the picture looks way older than the baby shown in the basket in the first movie..

Due to its lobster-like appearance, that's most likely a blast-ended skrewt.
