20 Easter Eggs In Harry Potter Films You Didn’t Notice

7. No.7

Warner Bros.Warner Bros.Film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2

In his first and only year as the captain of Gryffindor€™s Quidditch team Harry must step up from being the squad€™s match-winning Seeker and become the leader capable of turning the rabble into an organised, winning unit. Of course this is easier said than done. However, in the end the Gryffindor team under Potter€™s captaincy are able to continue the legacy of previous captains Angelina Johnson and Oliver Wood by winning the prestigious Quidditch Cup.

In the shots of Potter hosting the team try-outs he is shown wearing a number 7 jersey. Aside from linking Harry with the footballing greats who have worn this number like Eric Cantona, Cristiano Ronaldo and David Beckham, it anticipates the revelation that later in the film we discover that Harry is actually the seventh and last Horcrux keeping the Dark Lord alive.
