    1. The Hufflepuff patches.

    20th Century Fox

    In the book which Love, Simon is based on, Simon references Harry Potter a lot as it's his favourite book. In the movie, his room is decorated with a Hufflepuff patch, and so is his backpack. 20th Century Fox had to get permission from JK Rowling to have these in the film.

    2. Drarry Downs Park.

    Speaking of Harry Potter... fans of the franchise will know exactly what Drarry is – the ship name for Draco and Harry, aka Simon's favourite pairing. In the film, the winter carnival is held at Drarry Downs Park.

    3. You can hear Martin make a joke that is a major clue for who Blue is.

    Martin and Abby are laughing at the lunch table, and he says: "Hey what do you get when you cross Black and Jewish? Blue-ish." Bram aka Blue is Black and Jewish.

    4. The notes on Simon's chalkboard walls.

    20th Century Fox

    If you look closely, you can see lyrics from the Elliott Smith song which inspired Simon's email address in the book: "Hour to hour, note to note." There are also scribbles from author Becky Albertalli, including a grinning face you can see on the cover of one of her other books.

    5. His bulletin board.

    20th Century Fox

    There are a lot of nerdy things on Simon's bulletin board that round out the character we know so well from the book. You can see a Hamilton playbill, and a menu for the Waffle House.

    6. Plus there are a few nods for Atlanta locals, where the film is set.

    There's a Varsity hat on his desk as well as a Zesto sticker, and Criminal Records card.

    7. The Upside of Unrequited on Simon's bookshelf.

    If you look really closely at the books above his desk, you'll see the second book by Becky Albertalli.

    8. And all the other YA books in Simon's room.

    Simon's got some good books up there, as spotted by Epic Reads. Keep an eye out for The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, and An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir. Also you can clearly spot More Happy Than Not by Adam Silvera , an author with whom Becky Albertalli is currently co-writing a book.

    At one point you can also see a Harry Potter book, and The Casual Vacancy by J.K. Rowling, on his bedside table.

    12. The soccer coach.

    13. The Oreos by his bed.

    20th Century Fox

    We know that Oreos are a point of discussion in Blue and Simon's emails. Blue says Halloween ones are his favourite flavour, and later Bram mentions how much he likes them. At one point of the film, you can see an open jumbo pack of Oreos by Simon's bed.

    Love Simon is available to rent or buy on DVD, Blu-ray, and Digital from July 4th.
