Thanks for clarifying. The possible explanation only occurred to me the
next day as I was composing my post to the list. Saw the film again on
Friday; I don't know how I missed it the first time....vaguely recall
people moving in front of me around that time. Anyway; the scene is
unusually constructed; the camera goes into the mirror at the beginning,
and comes out of it at the end (I think I have that the right way
round...:-) )

I noticed a number of 'reflection' shots this time around; in the Boggart
class, of course; in a window at one stage; when Harry is flying on
Buckbeak, he sees his reflection in the lake...must take notes next time as
it seems to be a motif through the first part of the film.
Harry-Attempting-To-Understand-His-Own-Inner-Nature?

Possibly.

Cheers,
