Re: I've noticed a lot of the same things, probably because I've reread this book so many times... Camilla Send a noteboard - 13/07/2010 08:58:10 AM
I'm trying to remember ... it was a few weeks ago when I read this.

Things like Hagrid mentioning Sirius, borrowing his bike. The connection between Harry's and Voldemort's wands. Harry talks to the snake at the zoo, before we learn about Parseltongue in later books.


I remember pretty much jumping up and down when Sirius was first mentioned in Azkabahn. I had re-read book 1 just a couple of days earlier, so it was very fresh in my memory.
