20 Easter Eggs In Harry Potter Films You Didn’t Notice
9. Deathly Hallow Imagery
After Harrys discovery that Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody the Defence Against the Dark Arts professor for the fourth year is actually Death Eater Barty Crouch Jr. disguised by a steady supply of Polyjuice Potion, he goes to Dumbledores office. In another life Barty could arguably have been an incredible professor at Hogwarts teacher or not, the class seem to learn more under the tutelage of the fake-Moody than any of their legitimate Defence Against the Dark Arts professors.
The headmasters office is arguably one of the most interesting places in all of Hogwarts, jam-packed with a wide array of wondrous magical relics, artifacts and curiosities. As Dumbledore offers Harry some words of advice he looks inside a cabinet which is typically full of magical odds and ends. However, in the side of the cabinet some of these objects are composed in such a way that they form the symbol of the Deathly Hallows which we will become all-too familiar with in the later films.
The magical sign is composed of three separate marks which each represent one of the highly powerful magical objects the Elder Wand is represented by the vertical line, the Resurrection Stone by the circle and the Cloak of Invisibility by the triangle enclosing the other two.
