Just had put in my two cents.  Are we sure wizarding
photographs and wizarding paintings are the same?  I
could be wrong (please let me know), but I don't
recall a photograph ever speaking, as paintings do. 
I've often wondered if the paintings (at least the
ones not of real people) are more like people than the
photographs.  The paintings seem much more
interactive.  Any opinions?
