Flashback to Ron and Hermione’s First Meeting

Newt—(pointing at hot dog mustard still on Tina’s lips)
(p. 31).

Remember the smudge of dirt Hermione pointed out on Ron’s nose when first meeting him on board the Hogwarts Express? We know these new two are going to get on famously.

Mrs. Weasley’s Clock


I’m sure many Potter fans thought, just like I did, when seeing the MACUSA threat-level clock—Mrs. Weasley! This new (old) clock that points to the danger of the American wizarding community’s exposure to the No-Maj world looks remarkably similar in form and function to the one Mrs. Weasley used to track the safety of her family members. More on the MACUSA clock in the Plot chapter.

Credence’s hand wounds—Provide an unhappy flashback to Harry’s wounds from Umbridge’s lines.
