Subtle Details You Missed in the ‘Harry Potter’ Movies

Over the course of 10-years, JK Rowling’s stories about a wizard and a couple of his friends made their way into the hearts of people all over the world. It was no easy feat to adapt each book into its respective movie.

Plenty of things evolved along the way, some a little less obvious than others, but all of them worth knowing for a true Potterhead.

Intro’s Ominous Progression

The characters aren’t the only things that changed from Harry Potter film to film. From the initial film’s bright and cloudless sky behind the Warner Bros. emblem to the last film’s almost opaque sky full of clouds behind an emblem matching in value, the intro to each film became increasingly ominous throughout the years.

Draco Malfoy: Beginning

Harry Potter really dialed it in with the symbolism in the hair. We could also really be reading into it, though. Either way, our favorite Slytherin went through his fair share of awkward hairstyles.

Tom Felton rocked the slick-back blonde hair for the first movie, letting us all know how tightly wound-up Draco Malfoy truly was.

Draco Malfoy: End

A decade’s worth of filming and Harry Potter’s, Tom Felton grew up. His hair transformation far surpasses anybody else’s. From his initial battle with gel and a comb, his hair loses its taut structure as the films progress and Malfoy develops a sense of self.

We’re also pretty sure Tom Felton gave up his blonde locks for some brunette ones when filming ending.

Hagrid’s Quarters

The first two Harry Potter noted an ease to get to Hagrid’s home. All the children had to do was cross a huge, flat field of grass and voíla, you were there. But, in Prisoner of Azkanban, the layout of the field drastically shifted. The slant and distance between Hogwarts and Hagrid’s home seems to represent Hagrid’s position at Hogwarts as its Groundskeeper.
