I've been watching the second movie. One thing I've never noticed before is how Rowling sets up plot points ahead of time. In the first book we saw the children learning the Wingardium Leviosa spell which is used in the second book to float cupcakes to Crabbe and Goyle. In the second book, Hermione botches up the spell with cat hair suggesting that humans can be transformed into animals which is of course a major plot point in the third book. Also we have an early parallel between Harry and Tom Riddle; Dumbledore asks each of them if they have anything to tell him and they each lie. I'm looking forward to catching more of these.
