Chapter 13: Nicholas Flamel & Chapter 14: Norbert the Norwegian Ridgeback “Yet he sometimes had the horrible feeling Snape could read minds.” Wait…is this a reference to the fact that Snape CAN read minds?

| Back when Snape was evil and Nick Flamel was a mystery |

Chapter 11: Quidditch It’s the first of many chapters in the series that hints at the idea that Snape is evil. Unfortunately, it’s one of the only moments in the films to do the same.

Chapter 4: Keeper of the Keys Introducing Harry Potter, the most well-adjusted 11-year-old imaginable. “Oh, so you say I’m a wizard? And I’m famous?
