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

Very cool!

I'm watching DH1 tomorrow on my friend's Blu-Ray in Maximum Movie Mode so of course I'm chilling out tonight and rewatching HBP. I noticed Nigel cheering in the background at the Gryffindor celebration for the first time and picked up on Ginny's reaction to Ron and Lavender. She watches it all happen and looks at Hermione as she leaves the room with a very sad/flat expression, almost hinting at what has long been surmised about by the fandom, that Ginny is very much aware of Hermione's feelings for Ron.

I also noticed Pigwidgeon and Crookshanks in the background in the scene of the trio up in Ron's room at the beginning.

I didn't really notice the hair when I saw it in the theater. I guess I just was really focused on Hermione herself at that point. I'd reread the book fairly recently before seeing the movie, though, so I picked up on the jeans line right away and thought it was great they had it in there.

I'd seen DH Part 1 twice before I noticed, in a screencap, that Hagrid was using his pink umbrella to help put up the wedding tent with the Weasleys:

Oh that's funny!

[ajna]

You are right. I didn't notice that!

I am watching all the films again....getting ready for the last one. And I am very surprised on stuff that I have missed that you guys all spotted.

I am ashamed to say that it took two views of DH1 to notice the names of the people in the files in Umbridge's draw. But I always miss stuff the first few times in any film

I would love a close up screen shot of those files so I could read them.

Yes that would be good, they did something like that in a episode of Doctor who I sat there for hours reading the news paper in the episode.

But yes since I discovered who they were on, I wanted to read them to see what they say.

Something I noticed the last time I watch HBP, is that when the DE kidnap Ollivander from his shop, they also take a bunch of wands in boxes too. Pretty smart thinking, considering how many people we know end up losing their wands later on.

I guess this would qualify more as a mistake, but I'll post it here anyway, since I didn't notice it the first time. After the wedding, when the trio Disapparates, etc, none of them say Voldemort's name, which is how I thought the trackers were able to find them!

They do, though.

I agree with you and here is the quote to support you here:

Hermione Granger: If Voldemort's really taken over the Ministry, none of the old places are safe.

That was said in the cafe just before the trackers turned up. I believe

Yes, you & Ajna are correct!

Also right after Xenophilus says it at the Lovegoods.

When Voldemort speaks to Pius Thickness after Snape arrives, I've only just noticed Nagini moving round the floor near his feet (Pius), no wonder he looked nervous and twitchy.

In DH 1 I noticed that Moody's eye is still on the door after Harry/Runcorn leaves Umbridge's room. That makes me sad, because the film makers could have easily taken it down. It would have been a simple move to make the movie a bit more canon. Every time I watch it I notice that (and half expect it to be missing haha)

[katielouise]

I hadn't noticed any of the things in the first few posts on this page... I'm definitely going to have to watch the films again!

I always wonder though, if to a non reader, movie only viewer, if they make the actual connection. Does a non book reader know that that is Moody's eye? Or do they just think it's another odd magicality of the Wizarding universe. There's nothing to indicate it belongs to Moody, or the cruel implications that it carried in the books. I think it goes along the same lines as the debate about the final duel with Harry and Voldemort....can you make it have the same impact for the non reader? That seems to be a common thread. What does it mean for someone who's never seen or read it before?

[dneuner]

I noticed a correlation between films:

In GOF, Voldemort tells Harry, "Dumbledore wouldn't want you to forget your manners; I said, bow!" ...

And in OOTP, right before Dumbledore and Voldemort duel, Tom bows to Album. It happens in the line, "By which time I shall be gone (BOW), and you shall be dead."

Anyway, a neat observationl

[horcrux4]

I only noticed this week when watching OotP for the umpteenth time that in the DA lessons Harry is teaching them Levicorpus. Neat, since he doesn't learn it until HBP!
