So Kreacher looks for ways to bend Sirius's orders to allow him the freedom to turn Sirius over to the Dark Lord. By contrast, Dobby maintains the same fanatic loyalty to his preferred master that Kreacher does. The difference is that Dobby is allowed to choose who he is loyal to, and he chooses Harry Potter.
Kreacher has had no choice, either with Mrs. Black or with Sirius Black. He may have loved Mrs. Black, but she also poisoned his mind and left him trapped on his own in an empty house for ten years.
And he absolutely loathes Sirius, who treats him like a chore or an unfeeling object. By nature, Kreacher is loyal, but because he can't choose how to use that loyalty, he winds up crazy and miserable.
Dobby gets to spend time in the company of his favorite person; what is more, he is able to contribute actively to Harry's happiness. When the D. Vernon leaves, and the conversation continues. Harry is furious to find that Dobby has been collecting all of his mail from Ron and Hermione.
Dobby explains his actions as an effort to deter Harry from returning to school. Harry replies that he must return to Hogwarts, and Dobby leaps off the bed and enchants a violet pudding, causing the dessert for the dinner party to levitate. Dobby then causes it to crash to the ground in a failed attempt to persuade Harry to stay put. The Dursleys are livid. They become angrier when a letter is delivered by owl and dropped on to the head of one of the guests.
The guests leave, and the party is ruined. The drill deal is off. Harry fears for his life, especially when Vernon reads the letter aloud, which warns Harry that it is against wizarding rules for him to use magic outside of school. The Dursleys no longer fear that Harry will use magic on them, and Harry is locked in his room with the window barred, and he is fed through a flap in the door.
His life has now reached an all-time low, and even in his dreams he is plagued by thoughts of being caged and taunted. He dreams that the bars of his cage are being rattled, and he wakes to see Ron Weasley, his best friend from Hogwarts, right outside his window. The appearance of Dobby demonstrates Harry's great fame and shows how Harry deals with his renown gracefully.
Everywhere Harry goes, wizards recognize him and know his history. If you look closely during one breakfast scene in "The Order of the Phoenix," you can clearly see a Wizarding World version of the breakfast cereal Cheerios. In the Harry Potter universe, however, they're called Cheeri-Owls — much more exciting than our muggle version. Baby Norbert the dragon was featured in "The Sorcerer's Stone" as the pet Hagrid had to give up, but it wasn't until "The Goblet of Fire" that we saw fully grown dragons as part of the Triwizard Tournament.
While every film features an end credits "no animals were harmed in the making of this movie" disclaimer, the makers clearly felt the needed to ensure audiences knew magical creatures were safe, too.
When Harry is summoned to the Ministry of Magic in "The Order of the Phoenix" for using magic outside school he warded off a couple of dementors with a patronus charm , he is escorted by Arthur Weasley. Arthur takes Harry into a phone box, wherein he dials a number, and the phone box descends below into the Ministry.
It's a neat little trick, but the number Arthur dials is , which spells out m-a-g-i-c on telephone dials. This is probably not the most secure password for the Ministry of Magic to have, but is a nice detail for the filmmakers to include. This wizard is pretty notable in this scene from the Leaky Cauldron — he's stirring his coffee using magic, twirling his finger in the air while his spoon stirs the drink for him.
While most Potterheads know that "Erised" is "desire" spelled backward, you may have missed the inscription at the top of the mirror. The text says: "Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi," which, read backward, says: "I show not your face but your heart's desire.
This basically tells the user exactly what the mirror does, as Harry finds out when he sees his parents staring back at him. Eagle-eyed viewers spotted this symbol of the deathly hallows way back in "The Goblet of Fire," a full three movies before we were introduced to them. The deathly-hallows symbol is a triangle representing the invisibility cloak , with a line running through the center representing the elder wand , with a circle inside representing the resurrection stone.
You can see these symbols in the glass cabinet Dumbledore is looking into here. In this "Sorcerer's Stone" scene, Neville receives a remembrall from his grandmother. A remembrall is a magical object with white smoke inside that turns red whenever the holder has forgotten something. Neville notes that he can't remember what he's forgotten, but he is clearly the only one in this scene who isn't wearing his black robe. Instead, he's sat at the table with just his jumper on, so we're pretty sure he forgot his coat.
Just before the Battle of Hogwarts, and just after Harry confronts Snape, Professor McGonagall steps in to defend her former student and duels Severus. Snape, however, is clearly not interested in fighting, and instead just uses defense charms to protect himself. He cleverly deflects McGonagall's spells so they hit the two death eaters Alecto and Amycus Carrow behind him, and then he collects their wands just before he flees through the window.
Later, we find out Snape was on the good side all along, so in retrospect this duel with McGonagall shows that he was actually helping by knocking out the death eaters and taking their wands. The entrance of both the Beauxbatons and Durmstrang students is one of the best scenes in "The Goblet of Fire," at once entrancing us with its cool visuals and opening up the Wizarding World beyond Hogwarts.
However, a little bit of muggleness creeps in to the Beauxbatons students' dance routine just before the beginning of the third trial.
If you watch closely, you can actually see they are doing the Macarena dance. Horace Slughorn was a great new addition to the Hogwarts teaching staff, but he was initially reluctant to join the team. To avoid visitors, he made his house actually owned by muggles look as if it were broken into. Meanwhile, he disguised himself as an armchair. It's a pretty good attempt, but unfortunately for him, his feet sticking out of the bottom gave him away. Weasley, and the rest cast a protective shield around the castle, he drinks a vial of felix felicis — aka liquid luck.
This is a nifty idea from Slughorn, and he ended up surviving the battle, so it clearly worked. His drinking of that potion could even be the reason the good guys won. Ron Weasley doesn't come from a very well-off family, something Draco Malfoy crudely makes fun of in "The Sorcerer's Stone.
