Disney has in no way shied absent from using Easter Eggs in their films. With the release of the magic-inspired Onward starring Tom Holland and Chris Pratt, it built perception to contain nods to magical franchises like Harry Potter.
The Pixar movie consists of the point out of a famed Hogwarts professor. But there are a several other Harry Potter Easter Eggs in Onward.
Harry meets Hagrid and learns of his wizard heritage on his eleventh birthday in the Harry Potter sequence. In Onward, Ian (Holland) receives a birthday gift that introduces him to a kind of unusual magic that can provide his father back from the dead. At minimum from the waist down.
Neville Longbottom is described in ‘Onward’
Neville Longbottom is the rule-abiding university student turned groundbreaking in the Harry Potter books and films. In the epilogue, lovers master how Neville adopted his passions and became the herbology professor at Hogwarts as an grownup. And when the professor himself was nowhere to be identified in Onward, eagle-eyed viewers spotted his identify in the Pixar flick.

When the Lightfoot brothers make a pit cease at a gasoline station, there is a indicator on the window advertising the brand “Longbottom.” The advertisement is seen when the Pixie Dusters pull into the station.
Pixies are people in both movies
Talking of pixies, both Harry Potter and Onward feature the pesky creatures. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Strategies introduces supporters to Gilderoy Lockhart, the Defense Towards the Dim Arts professor, creator, and con-artist who faked his way to the major. In the course of one particular of his classes, Gilderoy introduces his students to pixies who continue to destroy the room.

The pixies in Onward aren’t blue, but they’re just as pesky. When Wilden Lightfoot unintentionally stumbles into the Pixie Dusters’ bikes and knocks them about, the gang turns hostile and goes just after Ian and Barley (Pratt).
‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Onward’ element the same adventure
In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger need to avoid Voldemort from obtaining the ruby-pink stone so that he are unable to turn out to be immortal. The quest the Lightfoot brothers face in Onward is primarily the similar: they much too must get a stone. The duo wants the Pheonix Stone (an additional achievable nod to Harry Potter and the Purchase of the Pheonix?!) to end the spell and provide their father again so they can at last say goodbye.
The figures in ‘Onward’ and Harry Potter want to make peace with the demise of their parent(s)
Harry Potter will become an orphan at a young age thanks to the evil Lord Voldemort. As he begins to find out additional about his mothers and fathers and their involvement in halting the Darkish Lord the initially time, Harry feels compelled to be close to them. In Sorcerer’s Stone, Harry can not support but sit and stare into the Mirror of Erised when he sees his dad and mom.

Ian is incredibly a lot like Harry. When he provides fifty percent of his dad’s human body back from the useless, all he needs is to devote the working day with him. Because his father died prior to he was born, Ian feels shelling out what tiny time he has with his dad will fill that void. Like Harry held on to the Mirror of Erised, Ian clings to the closing times with his father in Onward.
