....Harry Potter and photography

In one of the Harry Potter books, it says "That if the film is developed in
the right potion, the pictures will be moving". So what would wizards do
with a digital Muggle camera? They would enchant the memory card, say with
"Locomotor picture"?
(Also, photography is a greek word, and means "Painting with light")

No need for potions or a Muggle camera, just use "Nature Illusion Studio" from
http://www.nufsoft.com/naturestudio.php

Sure, it's gimmicky, but with the right images it can make for some really
interesting examples of the "pictures will be moving".

I have one of a helicopter dumping a load of water on a forest-fire that when
used with this software adds a bit of interest by making the water fall into the
forest-fire in a continuous cascade. Otherwise it's a pretty boring still frame.

What's that saying, "any sufficiently advanced techology will look like
magic..."

My backup camera does the enchantment in-camera, so the pictures on the
memory card come out already moving. 'tis called a video camera
