Natasha Kumar By Natasha Kumar Aug25,2024

The details, easter eggs, and other elements referring to the Harry Potter universe are numerous in the films of the license directed by Warner. We have already covered a lot of them in our columns. But despite In the years that separate us from the release of the last film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011, we have overlooked these other 6 details, which deserve to be noted.

Harry Potter: 6 details you probably missed

RON'S FADED ROBE IN Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Many people have noticed that Ron Weasley's robe is faded in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.A detail that is not left to chance, and which underlines the poverty of his family. Indeed, it is a worn dress bought second-hand. In financial difficulty, the Weasleys cannot afford to provide new school supplies each year to their children enrolled at Hogwarts. From then on, Arthur and Molly practice recovery, and pass on the material from the elders to the younger ones. This is how Ron finds himself in second year with his brother Charlie's wand. Once broken, it is mentioned that he is unable to buy a new one.

The start of the BATTLE OF HOGWARTS is a nod to the first three films

The final battle for the survival of Hogwarts and the wizarding world in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2features many creatures: trolls, werewolves, spiders, Death Eaters, or Dementors. But a reference to the first films of the saga is hidden in the scene. The first enemies that Harry, Ron and Hermione face are, in order, a troll holding a broken Quidditch hoop, Acromantulas from the Forbidden Forest, then a werewolf and finally a flock of Dementors. The same ones that Harry successively faces in the first three films of the saga.

TOM Riddle's ORPHANAGE ROOM reveals DETAILS about his future

In Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Harry and Dumbledore use the Pensieve to recall the memories of young Tom Riddle. A sequence that is teeming with details about what the character will become and the acts he will commit. We note for example a photo of a coastal cavehanging on the wall of the bedroom. A cave that Tom visited as a child, during a trip organized by his orphanage, and inside which he terrorized two of his classmates. It is in this same cave that Harry and Dumbledore go at the end of the film to find Salazar Slytherin's locket, which turned out to be a copy of the Horcrux. Another intriguing detail, the seven stones aligned on the windowsill. Obviously, this is a reference to the seven Horcruxes that the future Voldemort will eventually create.

CHANGE OF UNIFORMS IN THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN

A less remarkable detail, the change of student uniforms introduced in The Prisoner of Azakaban. If in the first two opus, the different houses do not bring real distinctions on their sets, in the third opus, under the supervision of Alfonso Cuarón, the students now wear a tie in the colors of their house. Thus, those belonging to Gryffindor wear purple lapels at their capes.

A REFERENCE TO WINKY IN THE GOBLET OF FIRE?

Warner's decision not to adapt to the screen the chapter about Hermione's campaign to help the Elves in The Goblet of Fire, which will lead to the creation of the Society for Aid to the Liberation of the Elves, is one of the biggest impasses made in J.K. Rowling's literary saga. The studios even seem to have been angry with the Elves, since they haven't adapted Winky, the Crouch family elf, to the screen either. But one fan theory has it that she appears in a sneak peek on a cart early in the film,at the Quidditch World Cup, as she went there with her masters Barty Crouch Sr. and Barty Crouch Jr. Others believe it is Dobby, as the elf in question resembles him. But it is more likely that director Mike Newell and his team simply reused an old model.

THIS REFERENCE TO STEPHEN HAWKING

Time is one of the central elements of Harry Potter 3. Harry and Hermione travel there thanks to the Time Turner in order to save Sirius Black (and Bucky). But a detail hidden at the beginning of the film already foreshadowed this journey. During the sequence taking place at the Leaky Cauldron, where Harry goes after taking the Knight Bus, we can see a man sitting at a table reading the book A brief history of time, written by Stephen Hawking. >Harry Potter: 6 details that probably escaped you
