I didn't notice that, I caught two details.

First, Stan Shunpike and the small head in the bus, that pointed me to
dark magic, so when in HBP Stan got arrested and Harry though it was
unjust, well, I had my doubts, and when he was later shown in DH
chasing harry with other DE, I though the film's director hat hit gold
(by sheer dumb luck, I'm sure).

Second, I think is in the train but not sure, Harry is looking at his
reflection in the window and  the reflection just for a brief moments
turns into a striking resemblance of Quirrell. Since Harry the Horcrux
also 'carries' Voldemort as Quirrell did, I think that's the kind of
image that could gave JKR the chills.
