    In Philosopher's Stone, Ollivander tells Harry that his father James had a wand of mahogany and that type of wood is "excellent for transfiguration". Two books later we learn in The Prisoner of Azkaban that James Potter was, indeed, an unregistered Animagus.

    My favourite foreshadowing is Hagrid foreshadowing Horcruxes ("not enough human left in him to die") in book 1: "Some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Dunno if he had enough human left in him to die."
    Gave me chills the first time I noticed.

    One of the most interesting foreshadowing in the hp series is the foreshadowing that snape is the half blood prince. This is hinted at earlier in OOTP when Harry visits snapes memorie about him being bullied. In this memory harry watches snape take his DADA OWL exam and notices that snapes handwriting is small and cramped. Exactly the same as the handwriting of the halfblood prince was described.

    one really cool foreshadowing moment u didn't mention was Trelawney predicting the deaths of both Dumbledore & Sirius.
    in PoA she refuses to join the table, saying "if 13 dine together, the first to rise will be the first to die". but because Ron had Scabbers (aka Wormtail) with him, they were already 13 at the table before she joined them. Dumbledore rose from the table to welcome her to join them, and indeed Dumbledore was the first to die among that group of 13 people!
    when Harry came back to Grimmauld Place after his hearing at the Ministry, the Order celebrated the outcome by having dinner together. they were 13 at the table again, and this time Sirius was the first to rise, and indeed the first to die!
    she also predicted Dumbledore's death a few times in HBP with her tarot card readings. one of her cards is "the Lightning-Struck Tower" which signifies a disaster/calamity coming nearer & nearer. fittingly the chapter where Dumbledore dies is also titled "the Lightning-Struck Tower"!

    Here’s another detail: In the Prisoner of Azkaban, during his Divination Final, Professor Trelawney asks Harry fear he sees in the Crystal Ball, Harry can’t see anything. He comes up with a Hippogriff. Trelawney thinks he sees the demise of Buckbeak, but Harry says he sees the hippogriff flying away, with its head. That later happens when Harry and Hermione save Sirius from The Dementirs Kiss and Buckbeak from Execution. Sirius rides on Buckbeaks back as Buckbeak flies away into the moonlit horizon.

When Harry mysteriously gets his Firebolt from an unknown person, it gets confiscated for testing in case it has some dark charms on it , with several people thinking Sirius Black may have sent it to Harry in order to hurt him. When they finally see it has no strange charms, they return it to Harry, and people finally think it wasn't from Sirius after all.

    One of my FAVORITE bits of foreshadowing IN THE MOVIES happens in "Goblet of Fire", as Harry begins to duel the newly-resurrected Voldemort in the graveyard. As he tries to avoid being hit by the Killing Curse, Voldemort yells at him to not turn his back, and, "I want you to look at me, when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!" When Harry goes into the Forbidden Forest in "Deathly Hallows", he shuts his eyes just before the curse hits him. It's a great middle-finger moment. (1/26/2022)

I think the book puts in nicely, after Harry had asked about the mirror and Dumbledore told him about the socks, the following is said: "It was only when he was back in bed that it struck Harry that Dumbledore might not have been quite truthful. But then, he thought, as he shoved Scabbers off his pillow, it had been quite a personal question.” So I think it might have been too personal for Dumbledore to discuss.

    In the second book, when the trio are capturing the Cornish pixies Hermione said 'Rubbish, you've read his books - look at all those amazing things he done...' With Ron replying with 'He says he's done' And it turns out Ron correct!

      Ron was pointing out that Hermione was lacking common sense at the time.

      ​@@claytonhess5512That is true but I think it works both ways

    My favorite case of foreshadowing is about the centaurs' prophecy about Harry Potter dying in The Forbidden Forest. To set up a storyline that would not pay off until Book # 8, is a masterstroke of genius.

      Yeah, that's a great example of how Rowling probably had the entire story (or at least the main plot points) planned in her head before even beginning writing. It's amazing to think about really. 7 books, thought out before even writing.

      It was book 7, movie 8. The last book was separated into two movies, but there were only 7 books in the original story.

    I think that, for the aberfoth one, you could also include at the end of HBP where it says that the owner of the hogs head attended dumbledores funeral in the front row or whatever

    I’m a huge fan of film study, so seeing your videos make me quite happy. Especially with foreshadowing
