10 Incredible tiny easter eggs from the 'Harry Potter' movies you probably never knew about

If you're anything like me: a true Potter aficionado, a fountain of knowledge, someone who sounds like they've swallowed Hogwarts, a History whole and is now regurgitating it at random intervals at the invitation of precisely no-one, then you probably assumed that there were few surprises left for you in the Wizarding World.

Well, dear reader, let this article be a lesson to you. You might have to swallow your pride, as I did, and admit that you didn't already know about all of these Easter eggs from the movies. And if you did, well, at least you can enjoy that warm, glowing feeling of knowing everything in advance, and bask in your own glory as you watch all around you gasp in surprise.

Ready? Here we go.

3. Again in the Philosopher's Stone, Harry's scar starts to hurt as he looks at Severus Snape for the first time. But it's probably actually burning because Professor Quirrell has his back to Harry, therefore leaving Voldemort's face, covered by the turban, facing him.
