In 'Order of the Phoenix,' there's a Wizarding World version of Cheerios called Cheeri-Owls.
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.
The end credits of 'Goblet of Fire' feature this magical disclaimer: 'No dragons were harmed in the making of this movie.'
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.
The Ministry of Magic's access code is 6-2-4-4-2, which spells out m-a-g-i-c.
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 6-2-4-4-2, 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.
In 'Goblet of Fire,' we catch a shot of the Deathly Hallows symbol way before we even knew what they were.
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.
Slughorn drinks a vial of liquid luck right before the Battle of Hogwarts in 'Deathly Hallows — Part II.'
Right before the Battle of Hogwarts, just before Slughorn, McGonagall, Mrs. 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.
In 'Deathly Hallows — Part II,' Harry, Ron, and Hermione fight giant spiders, a troll, dementors, and a werewolf — all enemies they fought in the first three movies.
"The Deathly Hallows — Part II" concludes the "Potter" saga pretty perfectly, and it does so by flashing back to the first few entries in ways you may not notice at first.
In the climactic Battle of Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, Hermione, and co. fight off trolls, acromantula (giant spiders), a werewolf (Fenrir Greyback), and dementors. These are all enemies they fought in the first three movies.
In "The Sorcerer's Stone," Harry and Ron saved Hermione from a cave troll in the girl's bathroom; in "The Chamber of Secrets," Harry and Ron fought off Aragog and his colony of acromantula; and in "The Prisoner of Azkaban," the trio faced a werewolf (Remus Lupin) and a horde of dementors.
In 'The Sorcerer's Stone,' you can see Aunt Petunia dying Dudley's old clothes gray for Harry's school uniform, which was a scene in the books.
In the books, there's a scene in which Aunt Petunia dyes her son Dudley's old clothes gray so Harry can wear them as his school uniform. The clothes are huge on him, and this is one of many things the Dursleys do that shows their vile treatment toward Harry.
This detail, however, is never mentioned explicitly in the films, but you can see Aunt Petunia dying the clothes in the background of "The Sorcerer's Stone."
The Leaky Cauldron sign is only visible to magic folk.
The sign to the Leaky Cauldron is black and blank at first, but as Hagrid and Harry approach it, it slowly fills itself in and displays a black and gold emblem with a cauldron on it reading "The Leaky Cauldron." As we know, muggles can't see magic, so this suggests that the sign lights up only because Hagrid and Harry, magical folk, are approaching it. So if you see any blank signs outside buildings in London, you can probably assume it's a wizards' pub. Just joking. But it’s great that movies put this in. So these were the small details that I noticed. Please do tell me your noticings in the comment section.
In the library, there is a book with the word 'TOM' on the spine, referencing Tom Riddle (Chamber of Secrets)
on the Weasley's family clock, "dentist" is an option
That would probably meant for Ronald as he likes to stuff food especially sweets.
a STARBUCKS logo in the black family tree
at the end of the movies. in the credit parts we can see Richard Bremmer (who played Voldy)
"as he who must not be named"
Hardcover editions of Harry Potter books can be seen on the shelves in Diagon alley
Harry is eventually rescued from Knockturn Alley by Hagrid. When the two emerge from the dark street, a book shop can be seen displaying ornate-looking books in the window. If you look closely, these are actually hardback editions of the Potter books themselves.
