21. The Niffler's Second Appearance
The little magpie-like thieving creature Niffler is one of the stand-out characters in the entire film, thanks to bags of mischievous charm.
But this is actually the third appearance of the creature in the Harry Potter franchise: in Harry Potter And The Goblet of Fire, Hagrid brings some in for a Care Of Magical Creatures class, because he's hugely irresponsible. And later in The Order Of The Phoenix, Lee Jordan sneaks a Niffler into Umbridge's office to try and annoy her as much as possible.
