I'm not sure, but I think the clock on the mantlepiece under the 
mirror when Vernon's tying Dudley's tie shows 7.55. (Although all of 
that could be mis-remembered and based on self-delusion.)

Hedwig's (well, it's a white owl...). :-)

Assuming Dobby, the enchanted car and Floo powder are out of the way, 
it'd be "Oculus Reparo" by Hermione in Diagon Alley.

I'd assume they mean the Basilisk, whose eyes were of course yellow 
(reference in the dialogue). The cobra in the Duelling Club had red 
eyes, as I recall (but I'm not certain - we don't see them very well).

We see four (3+1), but it's possible there's another (after the third 
one, there's a burst of smoke which may or may not be caused by a 
small drop falling).

I have seen this movie *far* too many times. :-) Oh well, time for a 
change - I'm now off to see James Bond. Back in the evening. :-)
