18. The Goldstein Name

For eagle-eyed Potter fans, Tina and Queenie Goldstein's surname should have rung some bells.

They are of course distant relatives of one of Harry's fellow Hogwarts students, Anthony Goldstein, a Ravenclaw who was part of the DA and a prefect who fought alongside Harry (and survived) the Battle Of Hogwarts during the Second Wizarding War.

Since JK Rowling revealed that Goldstein is Jewish, that presumably means Tina and Queenie are too.
