- Actor Allusion:
- Dudley Dursley is played by Harry Melling. There is a brief moment in the first film, which was not in the book, in which Hagrid mistakes Dudley for Harry, to which Dudley responds that he's "not Harry."
- Ralph Fiennes is playing a bigoted, sociopathic, totalitarian psychopath with zero compassion or humanity and who commands/leads an influential racist cult in a war-torn, politically unstable world... now, are we talking about Lord Voldemort or Amon Goeth? Notable given that the latter was Fiennes' big break in the film-making business.
- Look at Dumbledore's death in The Half Blood Prince (3:00) and Hans Gruber's death in Die Hard(2:45). Nicely inverted, as the killed in one is the killer in the other.
- In Deathly Hallows Part 1, the Power Trio ends up in a cafe that has a promotional poster for Equus on the wall.
