Line 26:
* Little windows to the first book of ''[[Harry Potter (novel)|Harry Potter]]'' abound in the seventh, and show starkly just how bad things have gotten.
** From the chapter "The Prince's Tale": "Keep an eye on Quirrell, won't you?"
*** There are about a million of 'em in that chapter as Harry goes through all of Snape's relevant memories—Dumbledore and Snape's conversation in the woods (where Snape says "you take too much for granted") is the one Hagrid overheard, as reported in ''[[Harry Potter/ and the Half-Blood Prince (novel)|Harry Potter and Thethe Half-Blood Prince|HBP]]'', we hear "that awful boy" (Snape, not James) telling Lily about Dementors, as overheard by Petunia and reported in the beginning of ''[[Harry Potter/ and the Order of the Phoenix (novel)|Harry Potter and Thethe Order of Thethe Phoenix|OotP]]'', etc, etc...
** Book Five is basically one Continuity Nod after another. When Harry takes his exams, he reminisces over all the stuff he did and learned over the past five years.
* ''[[Warhammer 40,000]]: [[Gaunt's Ghosts]]'' has quite a few nods to other books [[Dan Abnett]] has written, and almost all of his books include references to the events and characters in his other works. Many, however, are retroactive, having been written about first as a passing reference, then [[Sequel Hook|developed into a full story]]. This can result in circular Continuity Nods.
