What is Foreshadowing?

What is foreshadowing? Good question! In this video, I discuss foreshadowing using examples from the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. I talk about direct foreshadowing, like prophecies, and indirect foreshadowing, such as the little hints, clues, and references that seem insignificant at first but turn out to be hinting towards an important plot point or development later on. I also discuss why foreshadowing is important, especially for surprising plot twists.
