The line from LotR actually goes:

The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.

As EY mentioned somewhere: We writes Harrys parts by just writing down what he himself knows from memory. Now we have a datapoint about eYs recall of LotR.
