The Harry Potter series is a classic, and almost everyone has read the books and seen the movies too many times to count. Still, there remains some incidents and facts in the movies which most people have never spotted. These things that were missed make for interesting facts that will make you appreciate the series even more. Below are 45 things I noticed after rewatching Harry Potter.

Not A Single Spell

A major thing I noticed after rewatching is that Harry Potter did not cast a spell in the first movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

This is quite unbelievable, as Harry Potter was touted as a special boy from the moment he stepped into Hogwarts. Not a single one, and you can watch the entire movie again to confirm.

Neville's Remembrall

Being a very clumsy kid, Neville Longbottom's grandmother sent him a Remembrall to always notify him whenever he forgot to remember something. In this scene in the dining hall, Neville's Remembrall is failed with red smoke, an indication that he was missing something.

A hint as to what he is missing is made available for users, as we can see in this picture that Neville is the only one without his school robes on.

Newt Scamander

Newt Scamander is a character in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a movie based on the same wizard universe as the Harry Potter series. What many do not know is that Newt Scamander's name came up in the Harry Potter series itself.

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Newt Scamander's name came up on the Marauder's Map when the Weasley twins, Fred and George show it to Harry Potter, as he was in Hogwarts at the time.

Professor Snape's Battle With Professor McGonagall

In the later part of the series, we found out that Professor Snape was indeed a double agent, as his loyalty was to Professor Dumbledore. A hint came earlier in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows II in his battle with fellow teacher, Professor McGonagall.

If you look closer, it will become clear to see that not only was he not attacking Professor McGonagall, he was also deflecting her spells to the Deatheaters who were behind. This act was deliberate as Professor Snape was one of the most talented wizards until his death.
