Harry Potter Movie Trivia

Now that the Harry Potter films have come to an end there is quite a bit of information regarding movie bloopers, movie trivia and quizzes. The information is rather overwhelming and I've provided a list (based by movie) that will make you watch your favorite Harry Potter films closer.

• If you look at the portraits on the shifting staircase you will clearly see a picture of Anne Boleyn-- she was condemned as a witch.
• The Quidditch trophy that has Harry's fathers name on it also has two other names: M. McGonogall and R.J.H. King (this refers to John King the supervising art director.)
• In the Gryffindor common area there's a picture of Voldermort in the bottom right hand corner.

• Look closely at all the portraits in Hogwarts. There are faces of production designer Stuart Craig and Mark Radcliffe.
• Gandalf the Grey (from Lord of the Rings) can be seen in a collection of great Wizards in Dumbledores' study.

• Marauder's Map- When you see it for the first time you will see the name "Newt Scamander." He actually wrote the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them." (Not a professor at Hogwarts.)
• When Harry is given the map the name "Moony" appears but is misspelled. It's spelled as "Mooney" which happens to be the name of a visual effects supervisor Karl Mooney and was purposefully placed there as an inside-joke.
• When the wanted poster for Sirius Black appears the symbols translate to "More or Less Human."

• Right before Fred and George enter their names into the goblet you see Hermoine reading a book. The title isn't clear, however, the cover features the harlequin pattern of the U.K. editions of the HP novels.
• There is a scene with Dumbledore, the Pensive and Harry. Dumbledore approaches a cabinet and in the top left corner there is a model of something that becomes an important symbol in the final novel (didn't want to spoil it for anyone that hasn't seen the last film).
• Originally there was supposed to be a scene with Dobby and Winky. It was cut, however, watch the first campsite scene very closely. Right after Ginny yells "Look!" you can see the elves riding llamas.

• There is a breakfast scene in the Great Hall. Boxes of cereal are displayed with the names "Pixie-Puffs" and "Cheeri-Owls." The design of the boxes are very similar to Sugar Puffs and Cheerios.
• Sirius Black joins Harry in the room containing the Black family tree. In the lower of the door you'll see a Starbucks logo. The logo is changed to fit the decor.

• When J.K. Rowling read through the script she noticed a line where Dumbledore mentions he had a crush on a girl. At that point she let the writers know that Dumbledore was in fact, gay. The information was eventually made public when promoting the final book.
• Robert Knox plays Marcus Belby was tragically stabbed to death days after filming had wrapped.

• Forty versions of Slytherin's locket were created for the scenes in which Harry and Ron try to destroy it.
• When Ollivander appears in the movie it had been nine years since audiences last saw him-- and eight years for Doby.
• When Harry enters the Room of Requirement (part 2) look in the bottom left hand corner. There's the knight that Ron rides in Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone.
