12 Biggest Retcons In Harry Potter Movies

2. Death Eater Masks And Costumes

With Voldemort mostly believed to be gone forever in the first three films (aside from by Harry and his friends), his followers remain in the shadows. It takes until the opening sequence of The Goblet Of Fire for the very coolly-named Death Eaters to actually make their debut.

And when they do, they wear hoods strongly resembling those worn by the Ku Klux Klan. They also have skull masks that cover half of the wearer's face. They look pretty impressively scary, but the film-makers clearly got cold feet about the whole KKK link.

From the next film onwards, the Death Eaters have a completely different design. Their hoods have no points to them and each individual mask is as unique in design as wands would become after the early films.
